Default Re: Review: Moinette Brune

Went by the Three Floyds brewery this evening on the way home from work and picked up a few things...

(EDIT: I should note that while I have a wealth of empirical knowledge about beer [in other words, I've drank a great quantity of a number of varieties], I'm not a great descriptor in the classical sense of food/drink reviewing. What I've got here is straight from my notes at the time of consumption...)

ALPHA KING - [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]1/2 (of 5)
Ruby-gold in color, with a hoppy nose. Light and hoppy on the palate. Bitter aftertaste - though not unpleasantly so. Almost a perfect summer brew. Round and lean at first, with a "pointy" finish. Enjoyable.

DREADNAUGHT IPA - [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]1/2
Deep gold in color with a thick, bubbly white head. Strongly hoppy nose. A classic IPA, smooth and hoppy at the same time, medium-bodied and thoroughly delicious. A classically "beery" beer. Tastes of autumn and sunsets. I love it.

COMING UP:
Gumballhead Ale!
