Right now I have two in my fridge.

1. Deschutes Mirror Pond: A crisp and clean pale ale from Bend, OR. Not as hoppy as an IPA, but with a pleasing floral nose and a respectable semi-bitter finish. This was on sale at my local liquor store so I took a chance, and I would definitely purchase it again. I'd like to try this one on tap.

2. New Belgium 1554: You'll say I'm partial because I live in Colorado, and I accept that. This is the best example of black ale brewed this side of Mandaloria. Smoky, just the right amount of hoppiness with a chocolatey finish, but not heavy. Essentially a porter. And the only reason I'm partial to it is because it's sold in just about any store in this state. Lucky me.
