22 oz bottle, usual Big Beer Series presentation. Cloudy, hazed, mid-golden pour. Strang, but has the word LAGER displayed on the label without contact as if it’s trying to remind someone of something - odd, since this was also n the dissenter...
Characterized on the label as 'A Belgian Style Golden Ale', and by other sources as a 'Belgian IPA', this beer is now part of the Smuttynose BIG BEER series, but has been a around for a few years previously known as 'The Gnome'. To be fair,...
Pleased to see this beer make it to Hop City, Atlanta, GA. 22 oz bomber. Obviously I was thinking that this would be an Imperial Brown Ale, but apparently it is categorized as an Old Ale here. Pour is a murky brow, Dubbel like color. Not especially...
I've been waiting to try this for many years, and after the initial influx of Smuttynose to Georgia this finally came into the seasonal rotation a few days ago. $4.99 for the bomber from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. This beer essentially...
22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. 2009 bottling from earlier this year. Been holding on to this for a few months, tonight was the night to crack it open. Into the Terrapin snifter in a number of pours. Simple stuff on the pour; black as...
Having spent a large part of my beer drinking youth in Belgium, and visiting literally scores of times over the years, AND have the privilege of hanging out with some natives, I grew to really appreciate and enjoy the art of the simple Belgian Pale...
Bought this 22 oz bottle a couple of months ago at Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. I've been holding on to it for a little while waiting for the moment that I felt like drinking a bomber full of a Quad - last night was that time. Beer poured with a...
22 oz bottle, Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. $5.49 I think. Pour is non-profoundly jet black with the requisite head. Solid if unspectacular. Nose is very malty but a LOT of alcohol. The alcohol theme is taken into the taste. Alcohol is the main...
22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA a couple of weeks ago. Bottle conditioned in 2009; notched on the label. Pour is a quite distinct yellow, golden affair with some big, frothy head. Not a huge amount of lace but this is probably at least...
12 oz single from The Charleston Beer Exchange, Charleston, SC, USA. Solid garnet pour with a standard (typical) Dubbel cloudiness but a little more red color than the traditional dirty brown. Thin foam and some sticky lace. I must admit I wasn't...
2007 vintage (I think). 22oz bottle as part of a trade with BA... Thanks. Shared with a few of the usual suspects at The Brick Store. Nice, clouded ornage pour with a smallish, bubbly, light head. Not much head to speak of but it does leave a very...
12oz bottle from a trade some time ago! This one has been sitting in the DBF for a long time, but I am happy to report, that (as expected), this has aged beautifully. Notched (approx.) best before April 08. Jet black pour and a huge, mocha head,...
This came from State Line Liquors. $4.99 for the 22oz bottle. Like most, I have very little experience with Wheat wines, and the only one I recall from the recent past being Harpoon/The Bros. Triticus - this seemed very different. A very still,...
Additional notes 08/09 22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. $5.99 (I think) for the bottle. Poured into an oversize wine glass that I picked up in Raleigh, NC a couple of weeks ago. Pour is a vivid mustard, clouded body that sits...
12oz bottle as a single in a recent trade - apologies I can't remember who, but thanks. Light amber, solid head and thinnish sticky lace. Slight chill haze and cloudy nature. Simple balance, sweetish malts, easy drinking and well put together. Mild...
12oz bottle as part of a recent trade (Bleedingshrimp? Sorry I forgot). Dirty, rust colored pour, very murky. No head retention - little lace. Not attractive at all. Mild sour notes. Not much aroma to speak of. No distinct cherry flavor, but a...
12oz bottle, thanks to a recent trader - apologies, I forget who. Slightly murky pour, this lacks the absolute clarity that I usually look for in my Brown Ales. Some chill haze. A little lace, but the head fades pretty quickly. A good sweetness,...
Thanks go out to someone for a recent trade (you know who you are). 12oz bottle. Lively pour with a lot of initial carbonation. Fine bubbles. Very good head and lace and some persistent carbonation. Light honey colored, hazed body. Creamy mouth...
Thanks to Silentsabre for thinking of me on this one. Chill-hazed, bright orange pour with what seems to be an unfiltered look about this beer. Head goes quickly but there is some sticky lacing. Mild spice in the aromas and fairly mild in the taste...
Super, slightly viscous red/brown pour with a small head and some sticky lacing. A threatening toffee alcohol nose that sets the table for the tastes. Big and bold up front, with caramel, toffee and sugary sweetness dominating. However, there is a...
Light colored with an orange base, pretty clear with an excellent head and some lovely, layered lacing. Very fresh hops, green and young on the nose and on the palate. This drinks very citrusy, with a serious grapefruit taste. It is really quite...
