		<description>Someone named Xeriscape posted this review of the beer (posted as a comment to our original Whip Ale post). I re-post it here on their behalf.

&quot;I went to the launch party last night. I don&#039;t know Michael, (a friend I went with does), but here&#039;s my review. Whip Ale was... well... good. Very nice! Not the best I&#039;ve ever had, but a FAR cry from the worst too.&quot;

&quot;It&#039;s extremely drinkable, I&#039;d say that&#039;s the high point. It&#039;s the kind of handcrafted beer that you can sit down and easily drink several pints of without feeling filled or overpowered. it was semi-hoppy but not over hoppy or over malty either. Just nicely balanced... I&#039;d almost say it&#039;s a bit herbal. For me, this would be a go-to beer if it were on tap in a pub, and I wasn&#039;t interested in weighing myself down with the Porters and Stouts I generally like. Last night, I tried my first pint, but when I went back to the bar, I ordered it again, it was better than anything else Valhalla had on tap for sure... by a long shot. &quot;

&quot;I&#039;m no beer officionado, BUT I do know a decent beer when I taste it, and Whip Ale was a decent, solid, easy drinking ale. I&#039;d guess that if you put it on tap in a lot of pubs, it would sell quite well... it has that easy drinking quality that say, Georgetown Brewing&#039;s, Manny&#039;s has (although tastes nothing like Mannys)&quot;</description>
