22/100) Breckenridge

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Agave Wheat, Vanilla Porter, Imperial 72

Did you know that the agave plant's heart is what is used to make Tequila? Well it is, and the heart is this huge 40 pound or so mass of plant material. I don't know what they exactly used to make this Agave Wheat, but the source wasn't likely the same. Instead, they probably used agave syrup. If so, then I wonder if the yeast got a chance to munch on it, or if they added it post-production. There's so much potential for speculation, so little time. On to the beers.

Agave Wheat) Despite loving the subtle Day of the Dead reference on the cover, this was just okay. There was a light Sweetness in the backdrop. The linger though was sharp or perhaps crisp? Anyway, it was dry. The more I drank sadly, the less I liked it. ☆☆☆

Vanilla Porter) Vanilla enveloped the background. The middle was perhaps more porter than vanilla but the overall flavor was light. The finish could have been smoother, but I think they got the vanilla accents just right. ☆☆☆

Imperial 72) This chocolate cream stout was excellent. The initial had a light watery mouth feel making that first sip easy all the way to the last one. A malty roasted note came through in the middle. Then, the finish had a light creamy touch to it, but the linger was where the flavors hit in a slowly blossoming array. It was not a problem for me, but I did wonder where the implied chocolate was. ☆☆☆☆
