Name: Old Flame Ale
Brewery: DuClaw Brewing Company
Style: Old Ale
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Alcohol: 7%
Quotes: "This thing has no smell." "I can smell it" "No you can't" "Just barely sniff" "Ohhh.. oh yeah.. wait no, I still can't smell it"
Aroma: 3/10, I couldn't smell anything. Others could sense light fruit.
Appearance: 3/5, Gold and maroonish
Taste: 6/10, Lightly bitter, bits of fruit and maybe caramel...?
Palate: 3/5, Medium body, crisp. Felt like beer.
Overall: 15/30
In closing: Certainly not an outstanding beer but very drinkable. A good melding of flavors and perhaps worth trying it on tap instead of bottle.
Good for: Those into artsy-font labels.

Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager
Brewery: Devil's Backbone Brewing Company
Style: Vienna Lager
Location: Roseland, Virginia
Alcohol: 4.9%
Quotes: "Shit girl, this lager so smooth"
Aroma: 6/10, Smells a little like a fancy barn.
Appearance: 4/5, Light head, golden brown. Like the tall guy from 300.
Taste: 7/10, Sweet malt, nothing overpowering. Very delicious.
Palate: 4/5, Smoother than motor oil.
Overall: 21/30
In closing: Not the best beer out there but pretty good for the local brewery responsible for Eight Point IPA. If a friend brings this over, they're into trying new things and not taking great risks at the same time.
Good for: Quantity and quality, simultaneous.

Peak Organic Amber Ale
Name: Peak Organic Amber Ale
Brewery: Shipyard Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Location: Portland, Maine
Alcohol: 4.8%
Quotes: "Hey" "Yeah?" "Did you pour water in this?" "No, you poured your own beer" "Yeah, so does 'organic' mean 'water'?" "Apparently"
Aroma: 2/10, Smells like a musty humidor.
Appearance: 4/5, Looks way better than it tastes. Frothy head, dark brown color.
Taste: 4/10, Not bad, not good. Just boring. My teeth have more flavor.
Palate: 2/5, No texture but light bitterness to finish. Meh.
Overall: 12/30
In closing: I think I thought it said "Peak Orgasmic" as I should have known right away that anything with the words "Organic" on it was meant to disappoint my mouth. If someone brings this over to your place, judge them.
Good for: Having a baseline for boring beer.
