What's Pat drinking?

A new feature - what am I drinking?

Tonight's drink is a Wit's End Ale from Sweetwater Tavern. It's a Belgian-style white, brewed with wheat and a light spice touch of orange and coriander. It is cloudy, as with most wheat beers. I find the slight orange flavor enhances the crispness of the beer.

That's a good beer, of course, anything I've ever had from Sweetwater is delicious.  If you ever get to Knoxville, TN head to the Downtown Grill and Brewery.  It's a bar/grill I worked at for 4 years that brews 7 styles of beer.

Gaelic Ale by Highland Brewing. It's a lot hoppier than I'd expect from a Gaelic-inspired brew.

Tonight’s beer is the Flying Dog 20th Anniversary “Raging Bitch” Belgian-style IPA. Pours a bit hazy, without much head. Flowery on the nose, an an interesting subtle bubblegum scent. Very hoppy, with a slight orange flavor lingering on the palate. Sweet, but not overpowering. The 8.3% ABV will creep up on you, especially on an empty stomach.

My IPA and Dave!'s finished Mai Tai.

That doesn't look like an IPA

The camera metered off the bright cubes in Dave!'s drink, so the red of the beer comes out quite a bit darker.

Caiprinha tonight - cachaça, crushed ice, muddled lime and sugar. Delicious.

Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is tonight's brew. Very light head, and a very light, thin body. Bouquet is faintly touched with pumpkin. Slightly malty.

I like my pumpkin ales to have a lot more feel, and the anemic body on this one left a lot to be desired.

Ah, hard to believe that the pumpkin ale/beer season has come around again! Let me know if and when Sweetwater releases theirs. I'll drive over with my empty growlers for that stuff!

Looks tasty Pat!

You like hops? You will love this Weyerbacher Hops Infusion. Nice head, good body, smells of coppery malts, but no malt flavor. As expected with a super hop brew, it leaves a bitter but not astringent aftertaste.

That looks mighty fantastic Pat! Did it taste as good as it looked?
