Firestone Walker 805 Blonde
Blonde - 4.7% ABV

     Pretty plain, needs to be drank outside and ultra cold.

​Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's

Firestone Walker Easy Jack
Session IPA - 4.5% ABV

     I can't pinpoint any specific flavors that stand out in this one, but it is just a great, balanced IPA.

Firestone Walker Leo vs. Ursus: Fortem
Imperial IPA - 8.2% ABV
Pete
     Really good easy to drink IPA that happens to be strong. It also tastes Belgian to me. It isn't described that way, but I tasted it, so take that as you will.

Firestone Walker Luponic Distortion: Revolution No. 001
IPA - 5.9% ABV
​Pete
     This is a nice hoppy IPA that isn't too bitter with some piney flavor and a strong citrus finish.

Firestone Walker Napa Parabola 2019
Russian Imperial Stout - 11.3% ABV
Pete
     Ultra chocolatey with hints of wine and bourbon. Not really sure where the bourbon flavor comes from based on the description (maybe just tasting it due to the booziness). It's amazing and expensive.

​Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's

Firestone Walker Peachy Bones
Wild Ale - 5.9% ABV
Pete
     Damn good sour. A little bit peachy with a good amount of sour and tiny tiny hint of funk.

Firestone Walker Pivo Pils
Pilsner - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     Having just been to Prague, I was excited to try an American take on a Czech beer (costs twice as much in a cheap bar as beers in a strip club did there - you should go there). This one feel WAY short. This style is supposed to be smooth and drinkable, without much to distract you. This beer is just plain weird. It's a little off going down with a pretty gross aftertaste.

Firestone Walker Union Jack
IPA - 7.5% ABV
Pete
     This one gets points for being strong, but it is just too bitter to really enjoy any of the flavors in it, assuming they are there.
