vibe: 4 | quality: 4.5 | service: 4.5 | selection: 4 | food: 4.5 | $$

A companion to the Brick Store Pub with a larger focus on cuisine as opposed to beer. Though, the beer selection is still quite nice, with a small selection 750ml bottles pouring by the glass, including St. Fueillien's Brune, Malheur Brut, and Etienne Dupont Cidre Bouché on this particular visit. The draft lineup doesn't seem to change all that often and seems to have been chosen on the basis of how well these beers pair with food. However, there is a well-sized selection of bottled beers to choose from that presents a little bit of everything: Saison Foret, Troll Shangrila, Péché Mortel, and even Bøgedal #101.

The atmosphere is lively and engaging with a rather pleasant-looking décor, though it presents a vastly different vibe than the BSP.

The menu presents a nice range of tasty treats at reasonable prices. Me, I made the bad, though delicious decision to go for the Pub Frites (with Goat Cheese Fondue and Peppercorn Gravy dipping sauces). Delicious because, well, it is, and bad, because it's hard not to fill up on it. For further munchings, I opted for the rich, hedonistic cheese plate.

The service on this visit was an absolute delight thanks to Sara Without an 'H'. Fast and efficient while also friendly and informative.

I wholly recommend it as a great place to stop in and have a marvelous meal with a few fine beers while in Decatur. Though, for me, I'm not sure I'll be able to simply bypass the good ole Brick Store Pub...

Visited Leon's for the first time this weekend. According to our waitress, Kathryn (who was absolutely amazing with recommendations and even took a beer back that I hated), these are the same guys that own The Brick Store.

The food was absolutely delicious. We had pub fries with all kinds of great dipping sauces, and the candied walnuts on the salad that I got must have been dusted with angel tears. They were out of two things that we ordered, but they brought us a free dessert to make up for it.

The beer selection is nowhere near as good as the Brick Store. The menu here is much more cocktail driven. However, the beers were decent if not rare. Combined with the service, food, and the totally rad Bocce court in the backyard, this is a fantastic spot.

met some high school friends at this joint. cool vibe - reformed antique store with a cool outdoor patio

tap selection was strong, but not groundbreaking - some standard (but great) belgians, founders reds rye, a terrapin, a southern tier or two, victory, new belgium and the like

food menu was thoughtful - a lot of small plates and sandwiches. We went with the calamari plate (nothing special), some frites that were paired with some great sauces and then I moved into the open faced brisket sandwich with a warm chickpea and cherry salad. overall, food was pretty impressive.

cool joint - right around the corner from the brickstore - decatur is a pretty solid hood

Had dinner at Leon's with my wife and an old friend, at his suggestion. What a great suggestion it turned out to be. The ambience was relaxed and cool casual. The service was outstanding and the young waitress was quite educated on beer, even offering recommendations with food pairings.
The food was outstanding. The roasted chicken and pomme frites were delicious. I enjoyed Terrapin Hopsecutioner on tap but their other selections ensured that I would be back to try them.
The prices were fairly reasonable, selection of beers was quite good and service was exceptional. A very pleasant evening indeed.

First time visiting Leon's and hope that there are many more visits to come.

We arrived at around 6:30 or so on a Friday evening, the place was pretty well full but there was no line or wait and was seated promptly. We choose to sit outside, since it was a nice evening and the place was pretty open to the outside anyway (all the windows and doors open). Seemed to be ample seating inside and out and had a good vibe going even though it was a bit early in the evening. The crowd seemed to have really picked up by the time that we left an hour and a half later. I didn't really get a good look at the interior, but I am sure that it is how others described it.

Upon being seated, we were greeted promptly by our server. As noted by others, the menus, both beer and food, are not overly extensive, which I view as a good thing for most top notch food places. As for the food menu, a nice variety of items to choose from. I had the burger and frites with a couple of Mikkeller East Kent Golding Single Hop IPA. The food was very well done and the frites were outstanding. As for the beer, the restaurant had a good list, not extensive as say the Brick Store, but they had a variety of styles to choose from.

The waiter was good, knew both the food and beer menu well and could talk very intelligently about the beers they had to offer. The prices were reasonable. Overall, as I noted above, I hope that this is the first of many visits to Leon's.

Did I just have Angel's Share and Mongo on tap? Yes, I did. Finished off with a Southern Tier Choklat. The glassware and temperature were right on. Excellent selection and a must stop if you are visiting Decatur. The beer selection is always very good and underrated. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the food is excellent. As an aside, they also have a nice selection of signature cocktails, (Sazerac anyone?)and and a very good and affordable wine list. My only regret was that it was a bit too chilly to play bocce outside on their clay court, but maybe next time!

3.81/5  rDev -0.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Poured a dark golden body with minor reddish tint with two finger head that dies quick. The aroma hits me of both yeast and orange, along with peppery spice, and then touches of both alcohol and possible tropical fruits. The beer has some interesting tastes along tropical fruit and peppery spice lines, as well as some sugary sweetness. Only problem with beer is that the alcohol cuts into it a little and the hops are strong and bitter citric. Due to this imbalance it's just not a beer that I really enjoyed.

Friends brought me a bottle up from NC, bottled May 2011. Poured into a snifter, the beer is a hazy, opaque, amber-tinged light brown coloring with a thin, sparse, white filmy surface coating. Nose of peach, pear, and pineapple, with a subtle woody character underlying, all-spice, coriander, and hints of booze. Flavors of creamy smooth fruit blended with hints of vanilla and a smooth, oaky highlight. The fruit remains tropical, but the creamy touch gives it an almost gelato character. Very well balanced. The spices and booze do a great job of cleaning up and corralling the sweetness, with a kick of cinnamon and nutmeg. The body is smooth and robust, and the spicing at the end does give it a touch of sharpness into the finish. The aftertaste is spiced and fruity, like a good fruit cake. The finish is smooth, and as I said before, it becomes crisp from the spices, leaving the palate clean, aside from a subtle spicy linger. Very solid brew, and easy to drink, which could be trouble with the elevated ABV.

The beer has a beautiful caramel color and equally fragrant caramel aroma. The taste is strong. First, a creamy caramel taste with a hint of vanilla. This is followed by a strong hit of the higher alcohol content. It has a light carbonation, and a generally pleasant mouthfeel.

This is overall a delightful "dessert" beer. Not one you would have a full pint of, but rather a slow sipping beer after a heavy meal.

On tap at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville

A - orange, a bit hazy, no head

S - fruit, white grapes, a hint of spice

T - white grapes, faint alcohol, bread, orange peel, coriander

M - warm, medium to full bodied, smooth

This is a decent beer. It has really solid flavor and good drinkability for the ABV.

banana, and peach aroma, some light lemongrass and hey, an almost funky sour note sitting way in the back as well and a small touch of alcohol. Really surprised me with a the depth it had. mixture of wheat, yeast and hops. Nice pepper like tones on the tongue, mixed with lemongrass and a wonderful light apple like yeast flavor. Loads of wheat and hey and fresh cut grass flavors. The finish was super dry with an all too familiar lightly sour note tucked in way at the back. nicely carbonated with a good amount of smoothness to it

Bottled 4/2010

A- Beautiful orange color. Not really much of a head, but a nice lacing once everything settles. Champagne like carbonation from the bottom.

S- Some sweet fruits. Banana, orange. Some spice like cloves. Also smell some alcohol.

T- Very sweet. The sweetness attacks my palate. Orange, lemon. I can taste some belgian yeast too.

M- Medium thickness

O- I was expecting more out of this, but not too disappointed. I never had a fresh batch but I expected something a little better. However, I enjoyed it a lot. I can't tell it's American at all. I probably would try this again though.

Thanks to mikesgroove for sending this bottle my way!

A: Pours a rather hazy orange color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. It leaves behind a ring of foamy bubbles on the outer edge. Nice white lacing.

S: Rather sweet with a good bit of fruit aromas. Some banana, orange, and apple. The belgian yeast comes through for sure and to a lesser extent some clove/peppery spices.

T: Nice combination of flavors, some orange peel, lemon, and banana. There is a slight floral/grassy hop component in the middle. Nice subtle spices that aren't in your face like some other tripels I have had.

M: Medium bodied, but feels light for the style, but not in a bad way at all. Nice carbonation.

O: A very easy drinking tripel. For 9% its goes down smooth with a solid flavor profile. Would actually be quite refreshing on a warm day I think.

I poured this one into an old snifter of mine out of a bottle that I have had chillen around the house for about 6 months.

A: A very light opaque golden orange with a rather small white foamy head that leaves quickly leaving a small ring around the top of the beer.

S: A bit yeasty with a nice floral note to it. With a mix of malts and fruit.

T: It has mellowed very well with its age. It has a little bit of spice with a touch of hos but nether one is overwhelming. It has nice touch of a caramel malt note as well.

M: It is rather light bodied beer with a good amount of Carbonation.

D: Went down way to smooth for being 9% Abv could see myself sitting down and drinking way to may of these in one sitting.

Slightly hazey golden color with a very small head that did not last for even a minute. No lacing or bubbles left behind. I am 2/2 with poor Mother Earth appearances. Sweet malt aroma with hints of fruit and yeast phenols. Mildly hopped with a touch of grass and flowers. No surprises in the flavor that was not detected in the aroma. More sweet than most tripels and not as vinous. A good dose of yeast phenols and some floral notes in the finish. Good flavor but nothing I would say is outstanding. If this beer had better carbonation, I would have no problem giving a good score. Nice body otherwise. Another beer hurt by poor carbonation/bottle conditioning. Good aroma and flavor otherwise.

Thanks ewright!

A: A hazy orange color. Me thinks this is bottle conditioned given all the haze.. Nice white head, that dissipates into a white ring.

S: Some booze in there. Sweet with berry and wine notes. There is a bit of a bready/flour scent in here as well. Something floral and slightly earthy in this. Wondering if it is the hops. A beer I could spend a while sniffing, and keep finding new things in.

T: Strong berry flavors, sweet, and some definite yeast character. This almost has a sweet champaign thing going on. Good, but a bit sweet.

M: Medium bodied, carbonation is pretty good. Very dry.

D: Tasty, but almost cloying. I definitely enjoyed trying this out.

Sampled at Sexual Chocolate 2011.
Pours a deep brown color with almost purple hues when held to light. Smells of dark fruits, barley, cherry, and the Belgian yeast smell. Tastes much the same. Tastes like a real Belgian tripel with all of the above mentioned things. Mouthfeel is medium and oily. Drinkability is high.

Pours a murky orangish brown. A decent amount of white head that hangs around forever. looks like a tripel. Smells like a tripel. Fruity hints. some lighter almost citrus on the nose. Comes out strong on the tongue. A bouquet of flowers and light fruits. This is the real deal. A very solid Tripel from an otherwise I think unremarkable brewery. The mouthfeel is great. The booziness is a bit too apparent. Especially for being only 9 percent. But overall, pretty tasty

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #43 (Aug 2010):

With a dull, golden hue, lacing is there. Star fruit, kiwi, mango and pineapple in the nose, with a hint of a pep- percorn-like alcohol as well. This brew is fresh and clean, yet fruity and alcoholic. A solid edge of malt, and some modest hopping, unfold a bit more in the end. Spicy fruity alcohol is present, middle to end. This beer is clean for the most part. Some light phenols show more of a light herbal or wildflower complexity. Wait, this is domestic? We couldn't tell. Stellar job!

Bought a bottle of this at Pizzeria Paradiso tonight. 2008 vintage, 750ml bottle poured into a snifter.

a - Pour a somewhat transparent bright yellow color with one inch of fluffy white head and low carbonation evident. Looks pretty nice.

s - Smells of funky cheese, oak, tart fruity malts, citrus hops, earthy notes. Super funky and cheesey, really great.

t - Tastes of funky cheese, sour fruits, oak, citrus hops, floral hops, earthy notes, light must, acedic notes, barnyard funk. Again, super funky, really awesome.

m - Light to medium body and low carbonation. Very smooth and easy to drink beer.

o - Overall this is a fantastic gueuze and an improvement on the Classic Gueuze, which is one of my all time favorites. Another winner in the Lou Pepe series, I think I would rank this very slightly behind the LP Kriek and in front of the LP Framboise. Super funky and cheesey, would love to get some bottles of this one.

Poured from a bottle into a flute. I had this at the bottle funk even at Teresa's Next Door.

Appearance: Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with an orange tint. There is a little pink that shows up in the light. Hardly any carbonation at all.

Smell: Herbal funk with sour lemon and a mild sweetness.

Taste: Unbelievably smooth. Very sour but I wouldn't call it harsh. Lemon with bitter aged hops. One of the best gueuzes I have had the pleasure to taste.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with a mild amount of carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: This was so smooth my wife enjoyed it, and she hates sour beer. Just awesome.

this is of course, wonderful gueuze, but given the hype surrounding it, and in the context of a number of other comparable versions more readily available on the market, it just didn't wow me like i expected it to. thanks as usual, to drlovemd87 for procuring this and choosing to share it with me. its pale blonde to straw in color, and i can see bubbles but it never amasses any head. this is a 2009 vintage by the way, and its got a great nose of funky oak, lacto, and white wheat malt that has stood the test of time. the funk is there, and so is the sour, and the oak adds a lot more than usual, i mean, this is really oak dominated, woody in taste, semisweet, and clean finishing. not nearly as sour as it is funky, more of a must than a funk really, old and dank, mature might be the right word. its just not coming at me in waves, and it almost seems like a simple beer, lacking the complexity of others, maybe in a good way, maybe not. either way, it tastes almost familiar, and if this is the standard by which the style is measured, there are a lot of good copy cats out there. still, i love the yeast, and i love the softer feel to this, just a tickle of carbonation and a very easy drinking medium body. fun and special beer, but not a drink of the gods as some say, just great gueuze.

Bottled 2001, Sampled January 2004:
Pours a semi-hazy gold color and is topped by a white head. Sour citrus aromas emanate immediately from my glass. These aromas are accompanied by notes of musty mushrooms and urea. A very tart first sip; my lips pucker and it feels like my cheeks have turned inside out. Ah yes this is going to be a good Cantillon offering.

Fairly low carbonation for a Gueuze, though strictly speaking this is not one, as it only has three year old Lambic in it. This is quite lemony and not as funky as some Lambic derivations. The brettanomyces character is pretty subdued, but there are definite musty-leathery notes here. A bit of vinegar adds to the acidity. The beer finishes with a slight tannic astringency, which seems fairly typical. My only complaint is that perhaps this bottle could have used a bit more complexity. The good/ variable thing about Lambic is that the next bottle is likely to be quite a bit different, so perhaps my complexity is hidden in the next bottle.

2004 vintage on tap at Teresa's Next Door...
Appears a light, slightly hazed gold with a small, white head that quckly dissipates into a mild bubbly cap.
Smell is of funky barnyard, horseblanket, honey, earthy, musty, with hints of apple, and oaky vanilla.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with notes of nectarines, and apricots.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, tart, effervescent, and lightly sour on the finish.

After a St. Patrick's Day filled with Imperial Stouts (no Guinness, here), we figured we should hit something lighter, and when @LaitueGonflable mentioned that he'd "love something sour" there was no question about what was next.

This was the 2008 vintage, tasted in 2012.

Pours a slightly hazed, but refined golden colour, with a mild, frothy but lively head of pure white. Ah, Gueuze really is the champagne of beers, isn't it? Fine bead of carbonation and a fluid but solid body that holds its carbonation well. Looks really excellent.

Nose is classic gueuze, with refined peppery overtones, mingles with earthy aromas and a sharp plastic character. Latex rubber, slight resin, wine cork, cellar, dust. Oh, it does such a wonderful job of riffing on the classic aromas, while still maintaining its basis. Lovely.

Clear and clean on the palate, and surprisingly mellow, without the biting, oesophageally challenging acidity that marks many a Cantillon brew. Light vinous characters, with a touch of oak, some banana leaf, and a hint of pepper, but without the bite or the piquancy. Oh, it is so very refined and sophisticated. It perhaps doesn't have the intense complexity of some gueuzes, but there's something very special about the smoothness, the roundness and the clean power of it. It's just lovely.

Feel is clear and bright, with a very fine carbonation that only goes so far as to enliven the palate; never to overwhelm.

Really gorgeous beer. In fact, very near sublime. It's so smooth, and yet with all the refined haughtiness of the best gueuzes. I love that the acidity is so restrained. It makes for a less raw and powerful, but more sophisticated brew. Really, the skill that has gone into its preparation is astonishing.

Label reads 2006, corks says bottled in 2008. Aside from dates, the bottle is in French and Dutch as it was brought back from the Netherlands. I've been having a fair number of amazing oude gueuzes lately, and this hits all the marks, but goes just a little deeper. Yes, there's the sharp lemon-lime juice sour/acidic tang that pulls at the back of your jaw. There's the toasted oak, but also with a hint of ash and pepper. And then I also taste a not inappropriately cheesey funk like you'd get from a nice, fatty blue cheese. What else? Mmmmm, there's a light fresh garden herb and celery note, dry white grape, and wheat cracker. God damn this beer is amazing.

UPDATE 6/14/10: Had a bottle from 2005. The tartness was a little more smooth, but it was no less divine to drink.

Vintage 2003. 750ml bottle, corked and capped. Bought at the London Drinkers 2005. Served cool in a large bulb wine glass.

A: poured a quite clear, dark golden body; the light puffy white foamy crown sustains well, then gradually wanes leaving a scarce rim on top of the lightly fizzy body.
S: salty+sweaty barn-yard mustiness and marinated star fruits mainly, with grapefruit-zests backing at the fringe where new oak barrels vanilla comes rather assertive as well; very deep and full of oakiness Neither quite exciting nor complex, but the aroma is really settled and pleasant.
T: really tannic and tangy-zesty, with a metallic touch upfrontthen salty fruitiness (showing hints of hawthorn-fruits) and grapefruit peels render a rather dryish palate in the aftertaste, where the tongue simply feels more and more tangy. Lots of aroma are left in the finishing touch, btw.
M&D: by Cantillons standard, this one is not sour or harsh at all; this is an ultra-smooth, fragrant, and mature gauze to savour. But I wonder how it has gained so much oaky influence even after so many years of aging in the bottle? Its my cup of tea anyway! Fellow BA Greencard once mentioned that this is his all-time favourite geuze; now I can understand why~~

'08 into a matching Cantillon tumbler. The brew appears a hazed golden yellow color with a firm finger of yellowish tan head. The cap is composed of rather large bubbles and fades fairly quickly. However, it maintains a thin film across the top from constantly rising bubbles of carbonation. A swirl agitates more bubbles out of solution and paints a bit of spotty lacing on the glass.

The nose is pretty fantastic on this with tropical suggestions of fruit playing all around the classic cantillon funk. Hints of grapefruit and pineapple interplay nicely with some wet hay, cardboard, must, cheese and moist cork/oak. There is a dampness about this brew's nose that lingers around but as soon as you try and hone in on it, it dissolves away into the fruit citrus aspects that once warm are a bit lemony.

The taste is tart with rindy elements of grapefruit juice and lemon zest before the funk comes into play. Moist oak, mildew, straw, sharp blue cheese and a bit of must. Mid palate there is a hint of melon flavor that really does a nice job balancing out the acidity of this. Towards the backend, there is a bit more grain inclusion than I ever remember tasting in this brew during previous experiences. However, it all plays together nice and forms a beautifully balanced geuze. As the brew goes beyond ideal temperature, a bit of mineral earthy edge comes out that is almost meaty (i dont know how else to describe it) with some more focus on stinky footy cheese.

This is medium bodied with a modest amount of lively carbonation. It is complex, refreshing and easy drinking with seemingly no alcohol impact. I am going to venture a guess and say this is about the 4th or 5th time I have had lou pepe geuze between the 05 and 08 vintage. I shit you not, this beer tastes wildly different with every experience. This is perhaps the most fruited and zesty iteration of any cantillon I have had. I hope my other bottles are like this!

Decided to split a bottle of '04 with foofaa at Monk's Cafe. At $45 a bit pricey but very much worth it.

A - Pours murky orange with a small one finger tall white head leaving small streaks of lace down the glass.

S - Smells of lots of horse blanket funk, green apples, a touch of lemon zest, and some light sourness. This one is a bit subdued but it is still quite enjoyable.

T - Starts off with a big dose of strong horse blanket funk slowly giving way to a mix of bright sourness, apples, lemons, and some damp earth. The finish is dry with a nice amount of pucker, lingering on the pallet for some time. The flavors are all there, although some of them are a little to light for my liking.

M - Medium body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Dry, funky, feel that lingers long after the finish. It remains light, allowing you to drink quite a bit of it before it begins to wear on you.

O - Other than the Armand Lente this was my favorite beer of the day. The balance of funk and fruit was spot on and I had no problem putting back my half a bottle. Worth every penny.

This is a review of the 2000 Lou Pepe Gueze, which I had a few days ago. This bottle looked fine from the outside, but under the foil was the scariest cap I have ever seen- completely rusted through. It showered by counter with black and rust-red metallic dust and debris when I popped the cap and just crumbled completeely. The cork underneath was a grayish black. I feared the worst but decided to clean the top and carefully pull the cork. Luckily, it was only the top of the cork that was discolored, the remaining 4/5ths of the cork was perfectly fine and sealed the beer very well. There was a popping sound when I uncorked the beer and some not excessive foam. The beer was fine! It poured a nice somewhat cloudy dark golden into a chalice, with a surprisingly good head for its age that settled to a ring and stuck around for the duration of the beer. Just okay lacing. The smell was a little faint by now, but exhibited typical barnyard aromas, a whiff of lemon, and a hint of brie cheese. There was also an underlying acidic apple smell, sorta like a scrumpy. Not acetic, but mild and pleasant. The flavors were just wonderful. Perfectly balanced tartness (not acetic), barnyard flavors, perfectly ripe cheese, a touch of wood. Everything was seamlessly integrated and oh so smooth and subtle. This beer has been considerably mellowed by aging, not in your face at all. Extremely enjoyable. The mouthfeel is smooth, crisp, and refreshing. I could drink this all day. Wonderful to see that its still holding up.

08 vintage thanks to Chris

Pours a white head. Fades to a ring. Color is a hazed golden orange.

Aroma: sour and funky. A nice amount of fruit. Cantelop and lemon zest. Cobweb and basement musk. Reminds me of classic.

Taste: more fruit flavored up front. Lemon citrus and cantelop/muskmelon. Sour and funky. Cobweb, basement must, ad some old oak.

Mouthfeel: sour and tart. Light bodies with a fine amount of carbonation. Ends very clean.

Overall, this was a lot like classic. Very drinkable and very flavorful. Amazing beer. I could drink a lot of this.

Thanks to Joe for breaking this out at a recent tasting, into a glass.

Grandfather Gueuze looks the part with a deep gold color with some bronze and orange highlights towards the sides. A nice cap of bright white foam that leaves some small streaks on the glass that glide down not fully sticking. Whoa, the musk on this one is undeniably old Gueuze. Big scents of oak from the longer time in the barrels, wood, lemon zest, hay, barnyard funk and sour bugs. It's really bold and that's what counts. Taste is off the charts, a deep sour that is large yet not tounge reducing. Swishing this around the mouth really does wonders. Tastes of old wet wood/oak with a blast of earthy tastes from the barn including hay. Citrus is on the lemon side with trace orange. Malted barley makes a appearence at times but don't look for it to save you from the sour attack that grandpappy is. Feel is light bodied like most gueuze, highly carbonated, fizzy and a bit scorching on the tounge after a few sips. Puckering is a understatement, a bit acetic on the end. This one is a shocker and I only wish I could find some bottles to lay down, but that ain't happening anytime soon.

I'm enjoying a bottle of this with my wife while watching a French art film.

2006 Vintage

A: Clear golden hue with a white foam head that fades very quickly, leaving no lacing.

S: Funk, oak, hay

T: A really nice gueuze. Insanely drinkable and enjoyable, with notes of oak, and possibly tart apples and/or lemons.

M: Not as tart as I was expecting. Very smooth feel, with a fairly low carbonation level.

D: Extremely drinkable. It would be quite easy to throw back several glasses.

Thanks to mixylplik3 for the hookup!

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Dogfish Head shaped pint glass. Best by date punched was April '11 (I think...the month was somewhere between May and April)

A: Deep amber color with brown hues. Had to really examine it in the light to find the red. Aggressive pour leads to a 2 finger head that disappeared quickly. Medium lacing that spreads throughout the glass.

S: Heavy malts, caramel, and a touch of fruit but only a touch.

T: The caramel malts are nicely presented and really punch through the warmer the beer gets. This might be my favorite Amber Lager to date. Aftertaste is light and doesn't linger - it's the heavy aftertaste that usually turns me off to reds/ambers so this one was a nice change.

M: Heavier mouthfeel, which is to be expected. Medium carbonation and this beer coats my mouth nicely.

O: Overall, this is a particularly well done amber. It's definitely my first beer from Montana so that's fun. This isn't a beer I'd buy a sixpack of but I would definitely drink it again.

This pours a handsome coppery red color in the tall tulip. It's clear and sports a fine white head. Moderately carbonated on the tongue. Sweet and rather fragrant with caramel malt.

So who decided this should be an American red ale and not the Irish style? This has barely a hop note, unlike every other hop circus in the Red/Amber category. The Irish style reads "A bit sweet, with a lightly hopped tea-like flavor" and even the "drying finish." This is precisely that. Or flabby and sweet, if you prefer.

There is just a woody hint of bitterness at the end, once the Long Island Ice Tea flavor wears off. Slightly drinkable if you don't let it warm up. From the 12 oz bottle purchased at Special Brews in Lynnwood, Washington.

This is my absolute favorite beer, year in and year out. I'm told it has been done seasonally since 1988. Bayern Brewing is a very traditional German brewery, and pride themselves on their consistency. The owner and his master brewer both are graduates of Doemens' Masterschool for Brewing and Soft Drink Technology in Munich.

It is a dark rich red/amber color and is one of the most flavorful, easy drinking lager beers I've ever enjoyed. It is also available in bottle, however it can become inconsistent in flavor if it is more than 30 days old, or if it becomes room temperature. If you are lucky, they do a number of local wooden barrels locally, especially at the brewery tap room, usually on St. Patrick's Day. I wish they would make this beer year-round.

First let me say this beer has been different every year, not a very consistent brew but when it is on it is a great beer.

Presentation- From a bottle I got at the local grocery store.

Appearance- Nice amber and light copper color with nice white head.

Smell- Really malty and sweet smell

Taste- Tasted exactly like it smelled, extremely sweet malty flavor to this beer with a thick molasses finish.

Mouthfeel- It was a little heavy for a Lager which I wasn't used to but it had great carbonation and a lot of flavor all the way through.

Drinkability- Like I said it is different every year, some years it is better than others but it is defiantly worth a try. I am yet to try it on tap at the brewery but I would go to Missoula to try it out.

notes to me - from cm's stash. very safe red ale, nose and taste are very safe. nothing wrong, just nothing knocks my socks off. mouth feel a bit thin, but then i'm more of a stout person. hops barely there. a decent bet to take to a non-beer enthusiast gathering. a side note: the name throws me off. my first thought was "bayern? like the aspirin?". something new i'm making note of, the bottle smell in the morning was stale malty brew. i've noticed the really huge favorites of mine leave a container that still smells great the day after.

Bayern, brewing some fantastical beers. The styles aren't so hip for the PNW such as IPA or DIPA but these are some great brews

Appearance: Pours an amber color. White head dissipates to nothing, no lacing.

Smell: Sweet maltiness but not overly syrupy sweet. Fruity, maybe some pear aroma. Good amount of lager yeast aroma as well.

Taste: Follows the nose but is actually better! :)
The pear flavor is more pronounced than on the nose and the sweetness is not there at all which leads me to say . . .

Mouthfeel: Finishes fairly dry from what I expected from the aroma. good amount of carbonation.

Overall: This is a really good beer. IMO, this can go head to head with any great craft lager on the market. Give it a try!

It appears solid amber in color with a little white head.

It smells of cloves and bananas. I get a bit of a caramel malt flavor. I also get a bit of a grassy hop flavor as well,

It tastes a bit sweet. I get a mild caramel flavor. I get a bit of a floral and grassy hop flavor. The beer ends with a small but noticeable amount of bitterness.

The beer has a semi-smooth carbonation to it. There is ample carbonation to this beer.

The beer goes down smooth but it is a bit rough around the edges.

Overall a pretty good beer, though it does not taste like a UK/ Irish beer at all.

This is my favorite beer from Bayern. I have not had it on tap but I love it in the bottle.

Appearance - Great deep red / copper color with light cream head
Smell - It has a toffee / Carmel smell to it that I love

Taste - Since it is a Lager it is clean and crisp but has great malt flavor

Mouthfeel - Like I said it drinks like a light lager but it had that little bit extra from the roasted malts but it still finishes clean

Overall I love this beer and would recommend it over any other beer from this company.

12oz picked up at the Albertsons in Lewistown Montana.. I only wanted 1 bottle and there was an open 12'er mixpack that had this one, so I snuck it into my 6-pack of other Bayern brews... poured into my makeshift pint glass.

Big 2" white head ... good lace and retention.. the brew is a clear dark orange...

This brew is a style that I'm not too familiar with... the nose is a nice mix of bready pale malts with touches of toast and a rousing caramel throughout.

The flavor has whaffs of toasted bread and some caramel that is in play from front to back.. sorta nutty.... no real hoppiness to speak of... a touch more body than I was expecting (a good thing).. and a average carbonation.. fairly clean.. but there may be some fruitiness that comes with the yeast.. but what do I know? Overall... I would be a little upset if I bought an entire 6-pack... It reminds me of a slightly ramped up macro.. It's been a very long time since I had a Killians, but I would expect this to be the bigger brother.

Sweet potato orange with no hint of red that my eyes can detect. At least two fingers of ivory colored creaminess forms during the pour. The head has a wonderful texture and is doing a bang-up job decorating the glass. Nothing here but positives.

Red lagers, unless they're highly hopped (which this one isn't) struggle to impress where aroma is concerned. There's a bit of earthiness and some generic fruit, but not much else of note.

Killarney Red is actually pretty good beer. As a lager, it's less estery than an ale, although it still manages to deliver plenty of multi-layered flavor. The malt bill includes pale, caramel, Munich, wheat and 'German dunkel malt' (whatever that is). Hop varieties are a mystery.

KRL is slightly more caramel-like than toasted-earthy-nutty, due to a moderate amount of residual sweetness that helps rather than hurts. I wish I could come up with a way to more accurately describe the 'red' flavor that red ales and lagers possess. Hoppiness is close to nonexistent, which probably means a wider range of potential (non-beer geek) customers.

Taking style and ABV (5.7%) into account, the mouthfeel is pretty impressive. The beer is light-medium in heft, impressively glassy smooth and expands a bit on contact rather than falling flat and feeling thin.

Killarney Red Lager is only my fourth beer from Bayern Brewing, but it's easily the best of the bunch. Lovers of malt-forward lagers should find a lot to like in this seasonal release, St. Patrick's Day or no St. Patrick's Day.

This is a good beer. I expected a run of the mill red lager but this is definitely a cut above the rest. Incidently the Abv is 5.7

It pours a dark gold color very nice head with good lacing. Smell is pure malt almost bock in nature. Taste is smooth with definite maltiness and nutty flavor. Not much hops in this brew but it is present. Mouthfeel is elegant and somewhat creamy again almost like a bock. Drinkability is good I could have a few of these.

All in all a solid beer worth a try.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Aroma: Clean, medium malty aroma, some bready notes.

Appearance: Medium-copper colour, off-white head, good clarity.

Flavour: Malty, toasty, enough hop bitterness to balance, negligible hop flavour, finishes clean and dry.

Mouthfeel: Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, medium-high carbonation.

Overall: Very flavourful for an "Irish"/"Red" (Irish Ale/Red Lager usually strikes me as a code word for bland beer), nothing that blows me away, just a very solid enjoyable session beer. If I were the type of person who would drink two consecutive pints of the same beer (Bartender: "Another IPA, sir?" Me: "Hell no, I just had one, it's a great beer but I want to have one of your other beers because I like variety. And, by the way, lose the "sir" thing."), I would drink two pints of this. Of course, I could say that of a lot of beers I enjoy, but I say that on this one because it's of a style for which I wouldn't expect to want another one.

12oz bottle obtained in trade with riversideak. Thanks for the opportunity.

Formed a 1/4" beige head over the clear copery amber brew. Head quickly falls to a skim of small bubbles, with average lacing. Aroma is light and balanced. Taste starts nutty sweet, a tart shot in the middle, with a balanced close. Mouthfeel is soft over the tongue, and drinkability is pretty good. A standard brew of the style.

pours a caramel nutty amber with hints of orange and red. A cream colored head of a finger or two fades fairly quickly, leaving behind a bit of lacing here and there.

aroma of caramel, nuts, and some grain. A bit of toasted malt. a bit bready. a bit of honey.

sweet. caramel, sugar, grain, nutty. funky macro-esque adjunct quality/taste I can't get past. not sure from what... musty, grassy, straw, corn, funky grain. Not digging it. Bready, honey, caramely. a hint of hops at the finish... wishhed for a bit more.

mouthfeel is fair, a bit over carbonated. a touch harsh. smooth on the whole, with a pleasant creamy fullness that nears thick, but doesn't hit it.

dissapointed with this one. Almost seems like an amped up macro. which is unfortunate. lackluster, cant see drinking any more. just unimpressed on the whole. which is unfortunate - I'm generally a fan of Bayern. this one just isn't hitting on all cylinders.

Appearance- Amber-red colored pour with a 1/4 inch head and slight lace tracks.

Smell- Sweet and caramel scented malt with a light hoppy aroma.

Taste- Much sweeter than expectd. Very slight macro flavor in the malt that sneaks in. Caramel richness, mild hoppy flavor to compliment. Bready and rich. Great flavors minus the BMC factor which is slight.

Mouthfeel- Light-medium carbonation with a full mouthfeel. Slight creamy texture and hoppy aftertaste.

Drinkability- Damn, quite good brew here. Not quite a session beer, but a good amber.

'No crime committed' in Smiley raid

Reggae star Smiley Culture died from a single stab wound to the heart during a police operation at his home in Surrey

No criminal offence was committed during a police raid which resulted in the death of reggae singer Smiley Culture, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

The singer, real name David Emmanuel, died from a single stab wound to the heart during a police operation at his home in Surrey on March 15.

The four police officers who were in the house at the time did not commit any offence during the raid, the watchdog ruled.

It also ruled that were "no individual failings which amounted to misconduct" of the officers.

However, investigators flagged up "concerns" about certain aspects of the home search, including "operational planning and risk management", said an IPCC spokesman, who added that a separate report detailing the concerns and making recommendations is being sent to Scotland Yard.

The full investigation report has been sent to the coroner dealing with Mr Emmanuel's case. The inquest into his death, which will be held before a jury, will not take place until the conclusion of two criminal trials to which Mr Emmanuel was allegedly linked.

The full IPCC report will be published when all of the proceedings have concluded, a spokesman said.

Mr Emmanuel's death was described as "bizarre" by his family, who also criticised police at the time.

Mr Emmanuel, who was 48, found fame as Smiley Culture with a string of 1980s hits including Cockney Translation, and he appeared on Top of the Pops.

His autobiographical 1984 hit Police Officer tells how he was caught in possession of cannabis but let off when the officer recognised him as a reggae artist.

Gunners fire four past sorry Royals

Gervinho opened the scoring early on as Arsenal defeated Reading

Arsenal kept up the pressure in the race for Champions League qualification with a 4-1 win over Reading at Emirates Stadium, which sent the Royals bottom of the Barclays Premier League.

Ivory Coast international Gervinho, such a frustrating figure for the Gunners, set the hosts on their way after 11 minutes. However, despite dominating possession, it was not until the start of the second half where the crucial breakthrough came again, this time Santi Cazorla sweeping home. Olivier Giroud added a third following a quick break by Gervinho.

Hal Robson-Kanu headed in a consolation for Nigel Adkins' men - the manager in charge for the first time - but there was to be no recovery as Mikel Arteta's penalty made sure Arsenal closed up on Chelsea in the race for fourth-spot and also remained within striking distance of Tottenham, on whom they hold a match in hand.

Gervinho fired them into an early lead when he swept in Corzala's low cross.

The 25-year-old was in full flow again on 22 minutes, charging to the edge of the area as the Reading defence back-tracked, only to then drag his shot wide before Cazorla clipped the side-netting.

Arsenal sensed they needed the cushion of a second goal, and it came just after the restart. Gervinho was again involved on 48 minutes as the ball was worked to the edge of the Reading penalty area, where Cazorla curled an exquisite effort around the defender and inside Stuart Taylor's left-hand post.

To their credit Reading continued to look for a way back into the match as Laurent Koscielny needed to make a last-ditch tackle on Pavel Pogrebnyak.

Arsenal made it 3-0 on 67 minutes, with Gervinho again the creator. The Ivory Coast forward latched onto a chip from Bacary Sagna to canter away down the right and to the edge of the box, before feeding Giroud, who dispatched a low strike back across goal.

Arsenal switched off, which allowed Reading to pull a goal back as Jobi McAnuff's floated cross from the left was headed in at the far post by Robson-Kanu - with full-back Nacho Monreal clattering into the woodwork.

Sub Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain then latched onto a loose pass from Adrian Mariappa before charging into the penalty area, where he was clipped by the Reading defender. Arteta made no mistake from the penalty spot as Arsenal chalked up a sixth win in the last eight league games.

Meet Catherine, the transport chief who takes photos of train seats

The group chief executive of Translink, doesn’t own a car, can drive a bus, uses public transport and lets hubby run the home. Jane Hardy joins her for a strong cup of tea and, gets up to speed on her career

Catherine Mason with some of her passengers

Catherine Mason, the woman who runs the five companies that form Translink and is responsible for a workforce of 4,000 and an annual turnover of over £168m, is gracious enough to offer me a cup of tea.

Not only that, she is prepared to make it herself. “If you don’t have a drink, I can’t finish my mug of tea — it would be rude. And I don’t function without that morning cup of tea.” Nambarrie with milk, no sugar, since you ask.

Clearly very hands on, Catherine (48) came to Belfast in Spring 2008 to become group chief executive of Translink from England, where she was MD of Arriva Midlands.

This may not have been the ideal time in the economic cycle to take on the job, but Mrs Mason is full of praise for the way in which her large team has been coping.

The challenge, as Catherine sees it, is to maintain good customer service while husbanding resources. “It’s the way everybody has to do business now.”

She states that Translink is thriving in this difficult environment, with an improved passenger rating.

Catherine says: “Our customer satisfaction is increasing, according to independent market research conducted by the Department for Regional Development and the Consumer Council. It’s a real accolade which Northern Ireland isn’t as proud of as it should be. Our railways also won the Rail Business of the Year Award, ahead of companies like Eurostar and FirstGroup.”

Given that people were talking about the possible closure of NI Railways 10 years ago, that is quite a turnaround.

This is one CEO who leads by example.

Catherine and her husband Peter live in the centre of town and she doesn’t own a car. She walks to work, uses buses and trains when she can, gaining some impression of the ordinary passenger’s experience.

“The problem is,” she laughs, “I can’t travel incognito as my photo is on the weekly email that goes out to staff, and on health and safety posters.”

This woman’s route to her current position has been as smooth as the 7a chugging through Botanic into town, but with a slightly unexpected pick-up point.

Initially, Catherine wanted to be a research scientist and studied genetics at Liverpool. She recalls: “I was definitely going to do lab work but, at university, a whole new world opened up and I ended up going into marketing which I found a fascinating area.”

Early in her career, Catherine was responsible for promoting Lucozade and Ribena. She had the innovative idea of setting up the Lucozade Sport sponsorship deal with the Premier League which still exists. Asked which football stars she has met, Catherine smiles and is discreet.

As far as the glass ceiling is concerned, Catherine has effortlessly found a way through and doesn’t think gender necessarily boosts or hinders career.

She comments: “The key thing is for women to be as confident as they can be, and not to see gender as an issue. I don’t see the glass ceiling as an issue, it’s about your aspiration.”

Catherine adds that, when she is looking for staff at Translink, she selects the right people for the post, regardless of sex. Impressively, the company employs quite a few women bus drivers — 10% of the total — and Catherine, who has her own bus driving qualification, wants to encourage more females behind the wheel.

“We run Have a Go! days, with the buses off road, when women can try their hand at it. The job fits in with women’s schedules well and you don’t need to be muscly. I’m slight but I have my PCV.”

Translink sponsored this year’s BT Woman of the Year business category this year, and the company was a good fit. Catherine says: “It’s really important to celebrate women’s achievement”

Her own achievements since joining the company include developing i-Link, the first travel integrated card in Northern Ireland.

Catherine says: “We have some of the best ticketing arrangements and a smart card that’s second only to Oyster in London. But we didn’t have an integrated rail and bus card and now we do.”

The good management techniques Catherine employs at work have also served her well on the home front. Although juggling career and family life can’t have been easy, it helped that Catherine’s husband Peter was happy to take on the role of househusband.

“I have two daughters, Emily (20), studying an arts subject at university, and Laura (16), who wants to be an engineer.

“My maternity leaves lasted six weeks and I was happy to go back to work, which was easier than looking after babies.

“When the girls were five and two, Peter became a househusband and was their primary carer. He loved it and had a great time.”

Mr Mason is now studying theology at Queen’s University, Belfast.

It was a question of deploying the right person in the right role; as Catherine says, she isn’t the homemaking type.

“I open a fridge and see cheese on toast; he opens the fridge and sees a proper meal.”

From her office window overlooking Great Victoria Street, Catherine can see the facade of the Grand Opera House.

It’s clear she loves the view, although she hastens to show me a picture with two views of Great Victoria Street, one gummed with traffic, the other showing a couple of buses which could easily transport all the drivers in the other image.

But she does escape occasionally. Travel is, unsurprisingly, a bit of a passion for the Mason family. They’ve visited China, Egypt and South East Asia.

It can be hard leaving her professional interests behind, though. A family holiday to Italy earlier this year became a bit of a buswoman’s holiday as Catherine liked the look of some Italian train seats so much that she took photos. She adds: “I got quite a lot of stick from the girls for that ...”

Tupac to Receive a Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

The iconic MC will be honored for his achievements in music and film.

Posted: 06/24/2013 03:33 PM EDT

He's sold more than 70 million albums worldwide, wowed film critics like the late Roger Ebert with his commanding presence on the big screen and now, nearly 17 years after his death, Tupac Amaru Shakur will posthumously receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Tupac was announced as an honoree on Thursday by Hollywood Walk of Fame committee chairman David Green and will be joining other 2014 inductees, which include Katy Perry, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Rick Springfield, Jennifer Lopez, Giancarlo Esposito and more.

One person who got to know the famed fiery side of the "Keep Ya Head Up" MC was director Allen Hughes, who, along with his brother, was physically assaulted by Tupac after firing the young star from Menace II Society in 1993.

In a recent interview with MTV, Hughes spoke on what he believes Tupac would have brought to the cult classic. "If Pac had been in the movie he would've outshined everyone," said Hughes. "As wonderful a performance as Larenz (Tate) was, I think Tupac...it would've thrown the whole axis of the movie off if Tupac was in it, because he was bigger than the movie."

Pac's last film performance came in the 1997 crime drama Gang Related, co-starring James Belushi and Dennis Quaid.

Local Fish Store deterioration

So went to the Local fish store on Monday. They had gotten a shipment of about 3 double tails, 4 crowntails and 2 half moons! They also had 4 "Halfmoon Twin Tails" Very cool little fish. But any way, I went back today, to scope out some plants, and of course looked at the bettas again. They mustard gas DBT's fins were nearly 50% of what they were on Monday, all these fish looked VERY healthy then. Now i couldnt even tell one of the DBT's was acctually a DBT.... The 2 Halfmoons were in good shape... still... maybe they pay better attention to them since they are charging 30 bux for them... One of the crown tails was dead, the other was laying on the floor about to die, one had sbd, very bloated and laying on its side on the top.... and lastly one didnt have an eye and looked terribly sad :( I couldnt believe how much finnage was lost from the double tails, they were so beautiful when i saw them monday! (they were just delivered friday)

It's always sad to see this happen. Maybe you should chat about a price reduction (whether you plant on buying one or not) and propose that keeping them in better conditions would increase their profits... personally, I would only pay $3 for a rotted out betta like that!

My 2011 TOP 5 Oracle Resources

December 23, 2011  |  off-Topic

After analyzing my browsing history I denoted that there are some resources that I read often than others. The 5 oracle resources I used most in the past year were:

Oracle Support. Former metalink is a site that I go almost every week. There are tons of information but there’s some problems… The site runs on flash (WTF says Steve Jobs) and the non-flash version is very limited! Also, oracle support should be much social friendly than it is…

OTN was probably my first oracle resource. Still remember when I received the OTN card few weeks after joining, those marvelous days of the former technet :)

PSOUG is very friendly to google… At least is what google thinks :) There are plenty of information there and very good and concise information easily found on google.

It’s a pity that I didn’t meet Tim Hall at UKOUG 2008 at Birmingham… I like a lot his technical articles.

Last but not least… The semi-god Tom Kyte :) and

Happy XMAS for everyone…

Tele Vue eyepieces come in several variations and focal lengths to match your particular preferences amongst the variables of size, weight, price, eye relief and apparent field of view.  They're universally applauded by both amateur and professional astronomers alike, and hold their resale value incredibly well.

The Nagler Type 6 13.0mm is the ultimate in wide angle eyepiece design, with an 82° apparent viewing field that will make you feel as if you're swimming in the view, unaware of your surroundings.  It delivers the pinnacle viewing experience for those that deem the view more important than all other factors, and the 13mm Nagler Type 6 does so without massive size.  The Nagler Type 6 formula is based on the original Nagler design, but squeezes a bit more contrast, eye relief and true field out of the focal length.
