Welcome to part 3 of this 5-part blind tasting series... as part of the Me & My Big Mouth recording a few months ago, the 4 reviewers listed below decided that we should take on a blind taste test of five session ales. All were either session IPAs or APAs, but the main point was that we were going to try them all blind, offer up our reviews, and even take a guess as to which beer was which.The five on the table, arranged so we didn't know which was which by Teresa Day of I Eat BR, were the Stone Go To IPA, Founders All Day IPA, Terrapin RecreationAle, Sierra Nevada Nooner, and Southern Tier Farmer's Tan.
Up now, blind taste test #3...
Reviewers: Eric Ducote (BR Beer Scene), Brenton Day (The Ale Runner), Chuck Pierce (Me And My Big Mouth), and Buddy Ethridge.
Serving: Presented in an Abita Brewing pint glass.
Appearance: Very clear, bubbly, with a bit of an orange hue.
Aroma: Pungent and funky.
Taste: Weak, not a lot of flavor going on in this one.
Mouthfeel: Lingering funkiness, not much bitter at all.
Overall: I was not a big fan of this one at all compared to the first two, although it scored above 50 for us. My initial guess was that this was the Southern Tier Farmer's Tan, but that could certainly be wrong... check back in a few weeks to find out.
Overall Rating: 53.75
My Rating: 50
