Quite flowery tasting and some interesting flavors. I liked it but I wouldn't have been sad if I didn't get to try it. It was a bit pricey ($3 for the can), so I don't know if I'd drink it more often.

Great Divide Belgian Style Yeti Imperial Stout
It's ok, but not nearly as good as the other Yetis. Maybe it was just the style, but it definitely was not my favorite from Great Divide. It was smooth and not harsh for an imperial stout, but seemed lacking in something.

Red Horse
The Navy rumors are that this beer has formaldehyde and will make you forget where you are and sick. Really though this beer is ok. For a lager it's not so terrible. Much better than some of the other Asian beers I've had. Not something I'd hunt out, but would drink if I were in the Philippines.

Taj Mahal
Poured with almost no head and them disappeared. Notice the s'mores in background. It was ok. I could drink it, but I definitely wouldn't let it get warm. It was good for what it was, but definitely not a choice beer.
Samuel Smith Taddy Porter
Meh. There were a lot of licorice notes in this porter which is not my style at all. Not a favorite. Don't think I'll be getting this one again. Turns out the rest of the world loves it (or so it seems). Maybe you should try it and tell me if I'm wrong.

Saranac Kolsch
This beer was a Kolsch I guess. It was nothing special and a style I generally don't like, but it worked well to quench a thirst at a BBQ on a humid Father's Day Sunday. Definitely not one I'd pick up again.

PUB REVIEW: Brown's Brewing
My sister-in-law had her rehearsal dinner at Brown's Brewing, also known as Troy Pub & Brewery, in Troy, NY. The venue was pretty awesome and we were in a private area, so it's a bit hard to comment on the actual restaurant/pub area. Toward the end of the evening we wandered out back onto the patio and I was surprised - it was packed (given it was a Friday night), but after being so secluded I didn't realize.
The staff was extremely friendly and get major props for making my step-daughter a grilled cheese sandwich during a buffet style dinner since she didn't like anything at all that was served. I, however, loved the food. They had a chicken dish that was great. The bartender was quick and ready to help people pick out beers they'd like if they weren't sure.
While there, I tried three of their beers. The first was the IPA. It was good, but not nearly as hoppy as beers I'm used to in the PNW. The brown was pretty good too, but somewhat unremarkable, but then again I'm not a big brown fan. Lastly, was their whiskey porter. It was boozy and delicious. I was floored with how good it was and would definitely come back here for that beer.
