Trippel

I think it's odd that New Belgium has a number of branded beers and then they have these odd generic ones, like "Trippel." This was a pretty good trippel. Nothing too special, but not too bad, either.

Frambozen

I've said it before that New Belgium sometimes gets knocked by beer aficionados, but they do make some pretty fine beers. Frambozen is the best raspberry beer I've had. Light and tasty, fruity but not overdone, a really nice complement to a wide variety of foods. I think that because this starts with a more flavorful beer than most, it's easier to keep the raspberries from overwhelming the flavor.

2 Below

This is Fat Tire wearing a winter coat of extra dark malts and some extra hoppiness. This gives it a distinct character appropriate to the winter while keeping it unified with its beer-brothers.

Sunshine

It used to be I couldn't stand this wheat beer from New Belgium, but now it doesn't seem so bad. A decent wheat beer.

Blue Paddle

A better pilsner than Joe's, IMO. At least it knows what it is.

Hoptober

Not bad. Not as hoppy as one would expect, but pleasantly so. If I were a real connoisseur, I'd start learning the names of the different strains of hops, because it's getting pretty normal for brewers to put them on the bottle.

Skinny Dip

A nice summer beer. Refreshing blonde ale.
