Two new brews:
"Tilt" made by Anheuser Busch. Malt beverage made with 2-row malt, grain, yeast and hops, caffeine, guarana, ginsing, and raspberry flavor.
"NicoShot" by German brewer Nautilus GmbH Laboratoriumsbedarf is touted as "the world's first smoking cessation beer." You get a kick of nicotine when you have a beer. The company claims that three beers have the nicotine equivalent of a pack of cigarettes, so if you get the urge for a smoke, you don't have to light up!

Have you tried the New Belgium Biere de Mars? I don't know if it's really new or just new to me, but I liked it <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
It's probably not something I would drink year round, because for some reason I tend to go with darker beers during the winter, but it was a nice warm weather choice. Has a bit of a citrusy flavor to it, and it's a very pretty sort of orange-y color (or as near as I could tell it was a bit orange, the lighting wasn't so good!).

Broken Top Bock - Deschutes Brewery, Bend, Oregon, USA - Bock - Biscuity aromas with a mahogany-garnet hue - Malty and complex - nice drinkability.
