OBF part 1

Stopped by the brewers festival for a few hours yesterday and sampled some lovely beers.

  • Standing Stone Double IPA
  • Deep amber, sweet and citrus aroma, but the large malty and sweet body hides the 95IBUs so there’s just a mild, managble bitter.
  • Water Street Big Phatty Imperial Red
    • Dark copper with lots of small bubbles. Strong aged malt aroma with burst of floral. Carmel sweetness with dry woody finish.
  • Russian River Pliny the Elder
    • pitchy golden body with great clarity and active carbonation. Intense hop aroma – sharp resin, pine, and citrus. Taste bursts with citrus and packs a full body with ample malt goodness and suggestions of alcohol. Amazing!
  • Bell’s Hell Hath No Fury … Ale
    • Dark syrup with brown foam. Smokey peated aroma. Thick chocolate knot of flavor with orange crisp finish.
