60/100) Renegade Brewing Co

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.

Consilium, Hiatus, Redacted

Renegade. The name implies a going against the grain. Perhaps that is why they delight in the use of a variety of hops and even have a triple IPA. Since I've already established that IPAs are not really my thing, it's best if you don't hear my thoughts on that one. My thoughts on that one can remain Redacted while I take my own Consilium and enjoy a brief Hiatus.

Consilium) was an unusual pale ale. A bit of citrus hid behind a lot of grainy, biscuity touches. The more I had the more prominent it became, until the bitterness built up on the linger enough to null my tastebuds. Conscilium is Latin for advice or suggestion. I'm not sure if this would be my most suggested beer. I'm conflicted as to whether I want another. ☆☆☆

Hiatus) was a combination coffee and oatmeal stout, making it either breakfast-in-a-can or a solid afternoon pick-me-up. I'd lean more towards the later, because the harshness and raw coffee could kick one back into gear with ease. While the flavors are mostly rolling waves of coffee, the oatmeal smooths out the middle with a silky mouth feel. If you like coffee beers, put this one your list to try. If you're not, treat yourself to a nice Hiatus, anyway. ☆☆☆

Redacted) I'm not sure you could make a better Rye India Pale ale than this one. It was clean. It was citrusy, and it had the right peppery backdrop from the rye. Even the mouth feel was appropriately light and refreshing. Still, if you are not a hop head, steering clear of this one would be understandable. ☆☆☆☆
