Beer Review

I found my notes from beers from a place called BJ's - which may be in Portland, but I don't remember.

I believe it is from my dad & my beer and bookstore tour of the northwest.

  • Blonde - kinda tastes like a light beer. Dad - "I sorta like this one."
  • Heifeweizen - funky; "another one of those clovy ones."
  • Pale Ale - has bite at end, "Shirley would love it."
  • *Red - good - kinda like a porter; "has a sweet taste"
  • *Porter - same as Red but smoother; "the flavor isn't overpowering"
  • Stout - like the porter but stronger (I like porter better)
  • *Nutty Brewnette - flavorful yet mellow; "not bad"

(note Dad's comments are in quotes)
