Ballast Point Mango Even Keel – A Session IPA with an assertive mango flavor, but I wouldn’t call it a fruit beer.  The hops still shine through the fruit flavors and the malty backbone is not overpowering. Not too bad for a fruity IPA.3.8% ABV @Grocery/Convenience Stores

Deschutes Abyss (Rye Whiskey Aged) – The nose has bourbon, roasted malt, bittersweet cocoa, molasses, with a hint of dark fruit and barrel.
