Yesterday I got down to Washington State for a little family picnic and was able to pick up a couple packs of American Craft Beer. I got the Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat and the Dogfish Head 90 minute Imperial Ipa the Wheat has some clover honey and orange peel in it.The beer poured with a snow white head and a unique orange tint, I was a bit surprised that it was as clear as it was being a wheat beer and I found the body a bit lacking but the flavor was good. All in all a great brew for our little picnic
Now onto the Dogfish Head this beer is 9% ABV it pours with a rich cream colored head that lasted about 4 minutes color is a deep amber with good hop aroma and somewhat spicy nose. Ahh the palate talk about rich the big alcohol gives the brew a nice weight and mouth-feel The taste is such a great balance of malt and hop I wish I could buy this beer here in B.C.
I have to admit there is a lot of fun to be had chasing down the brews that just beg to be tasted and I look forward to that new brew every time I find one.
