Deschutes Red Chair NWPA

20130102:
There was some confusion as to which beers were which, but after doing some analysis at home (20130121), I determined that the order of the beers was simply the reverse of the order given at the restaurant.

Beer Flight: (listed left to right) (number in parentheses indicates turn order)
Avery The Czar (2)
Deschutes Red Chair NWPA (1)
TAPS Toasted Santa (3)
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale (4)

First, I tried the second from the left (#2).
I wrote: "It tastes strong and bitter. At first, I thought it was the Sublimely Self-righteous Ale, but its not. Haha. Wow, this TAPS Toasted Santa is bitter."*
*I later determined this was not TAPS Toasted Santa, but Deschutes Red Chair NWPA.

I later wrote: "#2 is grassy and tastes like an IPA."*
*The beer is actually an American Pale Ale.

I finally wrote: "#2 is still crazy bitter."

Status: Full. Left to right: The Czar, Red Chair, Toasted Santa, Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale
