Grimbergen Dubbel Double Ale

BuffaloJern 1 Comment

Grimbergen Dubbel: 6.5 – This is actually a delight, and very delicious. Points however have been taken off because this on that list of beers where it’s difficult to finish, and suicide to have more than one. That’s because this beer is like a warm candied molasses cookie transmuted into a beer. It’s not even like over sugared or sickeningly sweet, it is just peak Christmas beer (yes we’re aware it’s March), and is invariably tasty.

Price Average: $7.50 draft

Green Flash Brewing ‘Cellar 3’ Baroque Belgique Pale Ale

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Baroque Belgique Pale Ale: 3.0 – The side of the bottle says to open like a champagne bottle, what it really means is that as soon as that wire cap is loose, duck + cover. If that wasn’t an indication of the head be warned it’s a big dome, literally spent the first 10 minutes to get a glass, and you do have to wait because that head is bitter. The beer itself is very hoppy, a bit bitter, and you only get a twinge of that brettsour at the very tail end. Overall this is a miss.

Price Average: $13

Von Trapp Trosten Lager

Trosten Lager: 4.5 – It is a darker and smokier lager and it does rather well in that style. It did have something though that threw us for a loop – the word gemütlichkeit. It said it was a lager full of it, and curious at what sort of hop or yeast (or how to say it) we looked it up. It means friendliness, which is ironic as it’s made us angry. Overall it is a nice relaxing, simple, and tasty beer though.

Price Average: $2 single

Redemption Rock Brewery Edelstein Hefeweizen

Edelstein Hefeweizen: 5.0 – Decided to try out another new and super local brewery to the site (sorry literally everyone not in the North East) You aren’t missing out on much though, because this beer is decidedly serviceable. It’s not outright bad, it’s easy enough to drink, and it has a bit of spice, but fails to impress.

Price Average: $14 Crowler
