Trout Slayer Wheat Ale

This is the second beer that I have tried from the Big Sky Brewery.  I really like the Moose Drool that they make.  It is a brown ale.

This one is a wheat........a wheat ale.  I usually like wheats, in fact, I love most of them.  This one.....not so much.  They made this one in the style of an ale, which means more hops I guess.

It was not cloudy, it didn't have any hints of citrus, and tasted a little metallic in my opinion.  I am glad I tried it, but probably won't venture in its direction again.  I do, however, want to try more of the beers from Big Sky!

Point Cascade Pale Ale

I have not tried many beers from the Point Brewery out of Wisconsin.  I believe JT has sampled several of their brews.

I was reluctant of this beer, because I am not a huge fan of pale ales.  But since my neighbor hooked me up with this one.........of course I would give it a go.

I was pleasantly surprised by this ale.  It wasn't filled with hops like some of the pale ales that I have tried.  It did have the pale ale flavor, but it wasn't overwhelming.  It didn't linger too long like a lot of the pale ales from other breweries.  And it also has a nice ABV of 5.4%

I would definitely have a couple of these with a meal or   from the tap while watching a game.  Unfortunately, it won't be around here.  I will have to travel north for this to happen.
