#183 nut brown ale

Samuel Smith's Nut Brown ale
Rating: 90
It's nutty, malty, mild hops, light body, semi brown. Good but ratings give it 100. I don't agree

#182 torpedo pilsner

Firestone Walker Brewery
Rating: 78
Hoppy pilsner. Pretty simple yet I've never had a hoppy pilsner. Sweet nose. Dry and Bitter finish. Not a huge fan.

#178 Hofbrau Hefe Weizen

Hofbrau Munchen
Rating: 82
Highly carbonated and light. Very light hefeweizen notes. I was expecting more banana and clove combo but it was lacking. I feel like this is the Coors Light of Munich (but wayyy better than Coors).

This beer is so simple and so drinkable. This is the PERFECT beach beer. Very subtle pineapple notes (almost can't taste).

#181 Hop Ottin' IPA

Anderson Valley
Rating: 93 (I could see this beer being a 100 because it has so much going on)
 
Perfect copper color.
Tangerine and orange dreamcicle sweetness with bitter hops and citrus notes as malt flavors hit towards the end of each sip. Mild carbonation with dry perfect finish. No bite or alcohol taste. 
This beer is very complex yet easy to pick up each distinct flavor. I wouldn't choose to drink this repeatedly but wow this beer has it going on. Tastes like two completely different beers: IPA up front then malt-beer towards the end.

#175 Weihenstephaner

Rating:  94
Idk if they make a more all-around drinkable, timeless beer. This was one of the first beers I ever had that got me into trying unique beers. This is up there as the one of the best lagers.
Light body, with mild malt hints and some sweet flavors. Pepper and spice hints. 
A+ beer.
This brewer is also the oldest in the world. Been brewing beers for OVER 1,000 YEARS!!!

#172 Samuel smith oatmeal stout

Rating: 91
Light body, watery, carbonated, sweet, good malt flavor, caramel, coffee, light cocoa, really balanced oatmeal taste. 
Really solid beer but wouldn't rate this as high as RateBeer and BeerAdvocate does.

#171 Beer X33

Rating: 99
Woah creamy heavy body that is so sweet! Strong aftertaste that burns 10 seconds after each sip. Caramel hints and sugar and strong alcohol. Promoted as the strongest beer in Prague.
Thank you to my brother Ryan Crowley for bringing this beer back.

#165-168 Titanic Brewery Miami

Boiler Room Nut Brown Ale
Rating: 85
Light hops and roasted malts

White Star IPA

Captain Smith's Rye Ale
Rating: 88
Mild Creamy, light hops, some bitterness. Solid beer but not overwhelmingly flavorful.

#162-164Wynwood Brewing Co.



This little brewery is tucked within Wynwood Miami in the art district. A good time to go down to try these beers is the first Saturday of the month where they host Art Walk. Also, across the street is an abandoned building which I highly recommend exploring.

Back to the beer. This place is relatively small and does not have big tanks so their beer runs out quickly.
IPA - Rating 65 - Mild citrus and low hops. Least favorite of them all.
Flagler Saison - Rating: 80- light, little spice and fruit.
BTM (Bear the Meat) Pale Wheat - light and fruity Rating: 85
