Think I’m an easy rater based on my ratings curve? NOT, brew breath! I don't rate most brews. Only the better brews.

Fruit Cup Gose Ostrom

A bit more on the sweet side than sour side. Loads of fruit flavor, almost fruit juice. Tart and refreshing. Like opening a can of fruit cocktail and drinking the juice.

Red's Rye IPA Ostrom

You gotta like bitter. If you do, this is a nice red rye. Very bitter. But also malty on the base. I would prefer more malt and less bitter but it’s a good one.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Ostrom

One of the finest stouts. Rich. Sweet. Complex flavors. Very well balanced. So rich and sweet, it's not a brew you'll drink in quantity. I bought lots of bottles before they went out of production. Now they are for special times.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Ostrom

Tops. So complex with flavors yet so balanced. Sweet balanced with bitter. Maple vs dark chocolate vs coffee vs roasty. Just right. Smooth easy drinker. Like a find booze. Take time to sip and savor. Let warm.
