St. Somewhere Saison Athene....$10.99 / 750ml
Tarpon Springs, Florida
ABV = 7.5%
"Saison Athene pours cloudy, yellow-gold with a frothy, white head that clings to the glass as it dissipates. Light, grainy malt scents take center statge, but are backed by a chorus of soft, fragrant pears and fresh-cracked pepper. The first sip is honey-sweet; bready malted barley and tart wheat flavors slide over the tongue. Hops march in with bold, peppery spice and bitterness. While the texture is chewy, the effervescence and mild alcohol warmth culminate in a dry, crisp finish."

Caldera IPA....$11.99 / 12oz cans
Ashland Oregon
ABV = 6.1%
"To smell this beer is to know American hops: The aromas is thick and dank, piney scents and a punch of grapefruit peel. As brash as the bouquet is, it does little to fully prepare the palate for the onslaught of sharply focused flavors that lie beneath the foamy head; intense citrus notes with sticky, resinous flowers and swfit bready sweetness rush over the tongue. The body is slightly viscous; it's fully carbonated and has an understated alcohol presence. A bitter explosion from start to finish, Caldera's luminously golden IPA is a delightful 12-ounce tribute to hops."
