Beer Advent Calendar 2016 - December 7th

No stout today! Praise the beer advent deities.

Bluestone Brewery - Rocketeer

There are three reasons I picked this beer up, Bluestone are a good local brewer, the artwork on the bottle is exactly like something I used to draw constantly as a child (a spacesuit, and Raphael...the turtle), and it's a basic bitter.  They're good for surprises, like Everards Tiger which I really enjoyed.

Pours a deep red, somewhere south of the copper I was expecting.  No head.  Really tangy malt smell - can't taste the hops through the malt.  Tastes just as it smells with a yeasty finish.

On the scale of

• Damn tasty.
• Pretty damn tasty.
• It's beer.
• Not really tasty.
• Ew.

This beer gets

It's beer.
