It's Friday night... you know the rest

Waiting to go out with the homies.  Gonna have a few brews.  Figured I might as well blog the pre-game.  Here we go.
Beer #1:

Brewer: Bur Oak
Beer Name:  Sacred Sun
Beer Style:  Saison
Price:  $10 for a six pack at Friar Tucks

Aroma:  Delicious belgiun saison.  These all smell the same.  I think it's the yeast.  Kind of funky orangey/ citrusy but not quite.  Almost like a fruit that's been in the sun too long.  Just slightly rotten but not gross yet.

Appearance:  Golden blonde with great lacing on the glass.  Not clear at all.

Mouthfeel:  Very light.  Crisp and tart at the back end.  A nice little tingle after it goes down.

Taste:  These all taste good.  If you like one, you will like them all.  It's slightly citrusy, slightly tart, slightly belgiany with the yeast.  A saison tastes like nothing else I've ever had.  Kind of dank like an IPA (very lightly) but still refreshing and light. 

Overall ranking:  Going a 4 here.  Not much better or worse then any other- a solid entry into the saison category.  If you like saisons, you will love this.

Beer #2:  Thanks to John for this one.  He brought it back from vaca.

Brewer:  Remedy
Beer Name:  Brown Out
Beer Style:  Brown Ale
Price:  Doesn't matter unless you drive to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Aroma:  Slightly fruity for a brown ale.  Very yeasty.  A very pungent brown ale.

Appearance:  Very light brown.  Almost a dark tan/ light brown.  Quite clear- a nice tan lacing on the glass.

Mouthfeel:  Very boring- nothing at all.  A little tingle on the upper gums.

Taste:  Delicious.  Quite a decent brown.  Rather light and very smooth.  John says he tastes malt. 

Overall Rating:  I'm going 4.0.  Another very solid entry.  John concurs.  We are birds of a feather.

Beer #3  Thanks to John again.

Brewer:  Miner Brewing Company
Beer Name:  Stamp Mill Stout
Beer Style:  Stout
Price:  Doesn't Matter unless you drive to Hill City, South Dakota

Aroma:  A hint of black licorice; slightly minty, possibly prunes???  Not a lot here but some slight aromas going on.

Appearance:  Very clear for a stout.  Dark, obviously.  No lacing or anything on the glass. 

Mouthfeel:  Slightly tingly. 

Taste:  Very mellow; almost watery.  Kevin says tad bit of vinegar sour. 

Overall Rating:  John says 4.25.  I say 3.5.  Solid but not a knockout.  I'm impressed by the beers of South Dakota.
