Tried a couple of brews at Zeno's Pub tonight. The first was Southampton IPA. My cell phone notes say that it tasted light and well balanced with spicy grapefruit and watermelon flavors. Probably my second favorite of the night. (On tap)Next up was a Founders Centennial IPA. This was an unusual IPA: tasted of figs and dates with a pleasant alcohol burn. Toward the end of the glass chocolate flavor emerged. My favorite tonight. Excellent head retention, and served from bottle. (Pictured)
Last up - make that three brews - was Founders Hop Rod Rye. Coca-cola taste with rye being the dominant flavor. Flavor very true to the name. A hoppy rye flavored beer. Wouldn't go for it again. Third best of the evening. (On tap)
Update: I think Rye should be reserved for stouts.

Duane may blow a gasket with this Hop Rod bashing!
Hop Rye owns Hopslam
Fuck it, Hop Rod owns Hopslam
I can't dig it. Maybe it's the tap.
