#12: Brown Ale (Brygghuset Finn)

Name: Brown Ale

Brewery: Brygghuset Finn

Style: American Brown Ale, 4.9%

This isn't the prettiest bottle I've ever seen, but I thought the ultra-simple, straightforward, resource-saving label looked professional and its minimalism stands out on the shelves among regular labels. So, why not try it?

Because apparently I should stick to fancy labels, that's why. This beer was not impressive. It didn't even seem finished. It had the bitterness of a grapefruit rind without much flavor. Ick. Not what I look for in a brown, or really any beer. Moving on...

Label: 3/5

Beer: 2/5

#9: DIPA (Electric Nurse)

Name: DIPA

Brewery: Electric Nurse

Style: Double India Pale Ale, 8%

At first when I saw this beer, I thought Electric Nurse was the name of the beer, but it turned out to be the brewery. ( -10 points to the beer, +10 points to the brewery) I thought a double IPA named Electric Nurse, with those mischievous-looking label ladies, was sure to be a hoppy, crisp, awesome drinking experience.
The smell made me "mmmm". The taste was good, although not the freshest. It's a solid double IPA, but nothing really stands out about it. I'll definitely drink it again and again if it's made available, but I won't seek it out.

Label: 3/5

Beer: 3.5/5
