    Had a long eventful weekend and didn't get to check in here, so bear with my while I throw a few posts up of the beers I've had!
    Starting with this gem:

    Eagle Brewery| Bedfordshire, England
    Banana Bread Beer | Banana flavored ale
    5.2% ABV 18 IBU

    Tons of banana flavor on top of a nice amber ale base. It doesnt taste exactly like banana bread, but it is full of banana flavor!
    It tastes like those banana chips you get at the supermarket with a nice beer finish. 9.5/10 will drink again!

    Thanks @T-Rex266 :cheers:

    Big Thompson Brewery | Loveland, CO.
    HazeMaker Juicy IPA | New England Style IPA
    6.7 % ABV 45 IBU

    A nice bitter and musty IPA, but not a great take on a New England in my opinion. It is missing the tartness and crispness a solid NE style brings along. All-in-all its tasty, and refreshing!

    Thanks @T-Rex266!

    YUM
    Lots of peach in a stupid light and refreshing beer! This is the perfect hot weather beer that rivals our local Martin House peach brew for sure.
    It went down wayyyyyyyyy too easy!

    Mama Bear's Brewing | Boulder, CO
    Mama Bear's Brew | Wheat beer with black tea and spices
    4.1% ABV 17 IBU

    I really really really wanted to like this but just couldn't :(
    I love tea, and especially black tea, but this beer just didn't hit the mark unfortunately. It was really musty and had a sourness to it that just didn't fit. I didn't pick up much tea, but I did get some hints of spice.

    Thanks @T-Rex266 I just wish I liked it more!

    I only drank a couple at the lake this past weekend.

    Snake Lake Brewing Co. | Sylvan Lake, AB
    Jarvis Bay | DIPA
    8.5% | 60 IBU

    Delicious. Crisp and the hops give it a nice fruity finish.

    Actually, the description on the can is pretty accurate.

    Wild Acre Brewing | Fort Worth, TX.
    R&D IPA | American Style IPA
    6.8% ABV N/A IBU

    Super crisp and tasty IPA that has a lot of citrus notes! Not much must, and decently hoppy. The 32 oZ crowler was too quick to go down!
    9/10 will buy again.

    Melon and mango in an IPA sound delicious!

    Agreed. SB Haze and Juice nails it, imo.

    Alley Kat | Edmonton, AB
    African Queen Dragon | DIPA
    7.5% ABV | 75 IBU

    Like most of the Dragon series, this beer was pretty much perfect. Well balanced. It was almost too good. I sort of wished it had a bit more flavour or bitterness or more mouth feel or something I can't quite put my finger on.

    I didn’t try that one. That was a random I grabbed while I was out. No harm, no foul. If you didn’t, I prob. wouldn’t have either

    Their milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard, and they’re like- you’re damn right it’s better than yours.

    8.5% ABV | 60 IBU

    I wasn't as much of a fan of this one. It kind of tastes like every brewery's first attempt at an IPA where they just make it as bitter as possible without any other considerations for the flavour profile. My brother likes it, though.

    Hammerhead IPA | American style IPA
    6.4% ABV, 65 IBU

    A solid IPA from the region that does them best! A solid amount of haze on this one, with a nice crisp finish. Floral notes and a little fruit hit the palate and it pours real clean with a lot of head.
    The last of my goodies from @DaBoro54 Thanks man! :cheers:

    4.5 % alc/vol

    Mild toasted malt flavor with a hint of sweetness. Low alcohol makes it light yardstick for a dark beer. Not bad at all.

    Hitachino nest
    Saison Du
    5% alc/vol

    Citrucy with a song presence of spices, notably the cloves. I might consider maxing this in my dashi or broth.

    Aromas of tart fruit with sweetness mixed in.
    They nailed the flavor here. It’s like drinking a peach that isnt fully developed yet. My wife, who isnt huge on beer loved this one too!

    Holy aromas of a jar of cherries! Taste of tart cherries with a small backing to it. Heavier carbonated but still really good for a cherry sour. I love cherry beers!
