Deschutes Brewery - Mirror Mirror - 22oz
American Barleywine - 11%
Oregon, U.S
Commercial Description:
Mirror Mirror, the flavorful brew that officially kicked off our Reserve Series back in 2006, is returning to store shelves due to popular demand by both our brewers and our fans. Mirror Mirror is an inspired version of the brewery’s flagship, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, which has been doubled up to barley wine strength – yielding a rich malt base with hints of raisin and oak tinged with the slightest citrus hop aroma.
Will edit with my own note at a later time.
Deschutes Brewery - Red Chair - 22oz
I.P.A - 6.5%
Oregon, U.S
One of the Bond Series. Very, Very mild I.P.A. Light reddish color. Easy drinking. I think I've been drinking too many San Diego I.P.A's lately. Descent I.P.A, but I'll take a Hop Henge or a Hop Trip over this one. Worth a sample though.

Brauerei Weihenstephan - 1809 - 500ml
Berliner Weissebier - 5%
Germany
My first Berliner. Hazy golden hue with a foamy head that subsides quickly. Has a tart aroma with some lemon zest and wheat. I knew I was going to like this one. Nice flavors of lemon, apple, and bread. Slight sourness. Light mouthfeel with a crisp, dry finish. Very drinkable and refreshing. Will be revisiting this one on a temperate San Diego afternoon.

Cascade - Kriek Ale - 750ml
Sour Ale - 6.60%
Oregon, U.S
Mahogany color topped with a nice tan head. Sweet, sour cheery notes off the nose. Getting some oak also. Nice flavor of tart cherries, yeast and oak on the finish. Not the best Kriek, but a good example for this side of the pond. I'm laying one down for future inspection.
Only three left as of 5/3/09. Hope to get another order this week.
