My lack of recent posts has been for a wonderful reason. Last week, I got a job working in the bottle store of a local brewery, and I couldn't be happier! I get to talk beer with people who also love beer all day long. I think the only better thing would be drinking beer with these people, but it probably wouldn't pay well. =) This calls for a special beer...
BG Poured from a 12 fl oz (355ml) bottle into a stemmed tulip, 6.8% ABV, Packaged 10/10/14
A Copper in color with a two-finger collar of tan foam. Sticky lacing decorates the glass as I drink. Tiny bubbles constantly replenish the long-lasting head.
A Citrus hops, biscuit malt backbone, pineapple. There’s something about the hop aroma that is uniquely Sierra Nevada. Juicy tangerines, cereal grains, cinnamon raisin toast.
T The taste follows the nose to a T. Biscuit, roasted nuts, floral hops, tangerines without any citric acid, honey, pine, spice.
M Creamy, a bit more than medium body, and medium-high carbonation
A Perfectly balanced toasted malt and bitter, piney hops
C This beer comes off as nut brown meets pale ale. The dominant flavor is nuttiness, followed very closely by piney hops. It also comes off as a hoppy red ale. No matter what you call it, it tastes delicious, and that’s what matters. It’s like sampling summer flavors wrapped up in winter style. Sierra Nevada never disappoints.
FP Chocolate brazil nut cookies, pear and walnut pizza with a balsamic drizzle, new york style cheesecake
