Beer, Beer, Beer

I wanted to write reviews for every new beer I tried over spring break, but the list is daunting so here's a breakdown and a comment or two with more on some of the beer's I thought were really special.

Squatter's/Wasatch Beers
Captain Bastard's Oatmeal Stout. Amazing.
Provo Girl Pilsner. Uninspiring.
Squatter's IPA. A good, but not great example of the style.
American Wheat Hefeweizen. Excellent beer.
Chasing Tail Golden Ale. :\
Full Suspension Pale Ale.
Bobsled Brown Ale. Doesn't come close to new castle.
Orphan Abbey Belgian Style Ale. A great beer, but a poor example of a belgian. More like a brown ale.
Polygamy Porter. The best beer name ever.
Apricot Hefeweizen

Other
Smithwick's Irish Red Ale - A better March beer than the BBB I.R.A. but we're not far behind. Hoppier with crisp carbination.
Pilsner Urquell. Amazing.
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Ale. 10% alcohol content but 100% hair on your chest.
Pyramid Hefeweizen. A great unfiltered hefe.
Uinta Cutthroat Pale Ale. Awful, no taste. too pale not enough aley.
Uinta India Pale Ale. Better than the cutthroat but steel uninspiring.
Michelobe Ultra. Why does this belong in this list? Because while it is an example of the butchering of the lager style that's pilaging the U.S., it is an excellent example of this and I love it.
BBB Brown Ale.

I'm missing one or two, but that's the gist of it.
