IT'S LINT, ITS DIRT, ITS UNFILTERED YEAST!!? UFOs???

Harpoon UFO White


First things first, Harpoon's UFO series are their "UnFiltered Offerings", inspired by the cloudy brews (due to the presence of suspended yeast) of Germany. They have 4 of these UFOs: 3 wheats and a Pale Ale.

I was fairly excited to taste this beer, mainly because it was a nice day; perfect for the type of beer. Witbier or White Beer was made popular by Pierre Celis, the original brewer of Hoegaarden (named after his home town). Eventually Celis moved to the states and opened the Celis Brewery in Michigan. Celis White was born. After Hoegaarden and Celis came more whites, like Blue Moon, Allagash White, and this beer: the UFO White.
I poured it into the pint glass and the first thing that I noticed was that the smell was not what I was hoping for or expecting. I was expecting a fruity and clean smell. Instead, it smelled kinda like frat-party-warm Natty Light. Ok, maybe not thaaat, bad but not what I expected.

The flavor was much less offensive. It had the expected wheaty flavor and very slight banana notes, but not as much of either as I would have liked. It did, however, have a very clean finish and taste from the ale yeast.

Maybe this just isn't my type of beer, but I would much rather have a Celis White over this one any day.

Need a Nice Session Beer After a Controlled Fall Down A Moutain?

Sierra Nevada Glissade


Session beer? I hate the term... really, really hate it... but this qualifies. It's easy to drink; not a lot of flavor, and you don't really want it to have much more either.


If mowing the lawn is your first association with the spring, then this beer is a great spring beer for you. It smells like freshly cut grass and wet hay... unfortunately, I feel that it doesn't taste much different.


The beer doesn't finish like most of the Sierra Nevada Beers; they all have a very distinct finishing flavor that I am normally not a fan of - its not a taste I enjoy. The only other Sierra Nevada I've had that lacked that distinctive taste was the Kellerweiss. It was a good for that beer, but the Glissade needs that extra kick. It lacks a lot of taste and finish, and what it does have of those is not that great.

Founders Nemesis

There is absolutely nothing that i can really say that describes this beer better then HOLY @#$!@$%!!!!!!????? It blew my mind as well as the minds of the four other experienced beer drinkers that I was with. We were all blown away by the taste. The maple flavor almost made me want to start singing "Oh Canada." That was, until I remembered that Sidney Crosby goal for Canada put the dagger in USA's heart in the gold medal game of the Olympics. Being a Pittsburgh Penguins fan (of which Crosby is the captain), I don't know which was more confusing the game or the beer.

OK, sorry, back to the beer:



The beer was a yellow, orangey color and very translucent. There was a nice two-finger head and decent lace. (Lace is the head that sticks to the sides of the glass after a few sips or the pour.)

The smell was mostly of sugar and bourbon; not surprising from a wheat beer made from maple and aged in bourbon barrels.

The taste... wow! The taste was sweet and very alcoholic, like a straight shot of Kentucky bourbon. Its strong initial flavor quickly begins to blend with a very strong taste of maple syrup that almost seems to roll around the alcohol flavor and consume it, leaving a smooth (but strong and sweet) finish. The combo of maple and alcohol almost creates a wheaty butterscotch flavor that I'm not a huge fan of.

Wheatwine
Appearance: Cloudy yellowish brown


Aromatics: Sweet, Bourbon


Taste: Overly Sweet, Bourbon, Maple Syrup, Butter Scotch

Notes: Much too sweet for me but worth the taste and time to locate. One of the most unique and strongest flavored beers I have ever tasted.

Even though the actual flavor of the beer was not my favorite I still have to give this beer a fairly high score based on uniqueness and quality. 85

America and The UK together again...

... OK, at least working together.

Stone (famous for Arrogant Bastard and other big character beers) teamed up with Brew Dog (famous for the former world's strongest beer, Tactical Nuclear Penguin) to create a Belgian Style Double IPA.
If you take everything you know about Stone and everything you expect from a Belgian style black beer you'll end up with Bashah.

When I poured it I initially noticed the dark, dark brown color, and the lighter brown head.

The aroma of the beer is about what I expected from the combination of the dark look and from a Belgian. Its dominated by the fruity sweet smells of a belgian dark, but with definite smokey undertones.

The taste is like no other beer I've ever had... it was good, and I enjoyed it, but I had to wait for it to warm up for a bit before I could dissect the flavors. It has a rich fruit and light chocolate flavors, and smokey undertones that I smelled that are caused by the roasted malt. This very light smokey flavor that is not overpowering or dominating at all and are very pleasant. The combination is very nice and well balanced.

When two of the most progressive and dedicated breweries in the world combine their powers anything could happen. In this case they not only hit the target but they blew it up like a Nuclear Penguin, or a stone hitting Goliath... or something like that... I'd have to but this beer up pretty high on my list of all time favorite beers.

QUICK TASTE

Stone & Brew Dog Bashah
Scotland/California


ABV% 8.6


Belgian Style Double IPA
Appearance: Dark brown, almost black; Lighter brown head


Aromatics: Sweet fruit and smoke


Taste: Light hops, dominating fruity and smokey malt taste
Notes: A Scotland-brewed, combined effort between Stone and Brew Dog is exactly what you'd expect from great breweries like these two. Worth hunting down and paying a little extra for. It also has a pretty sweet label...

One of the top beers on my list I gave this beer a 93.

Mom... Theres a 400 Pound Monkey under my bed...

With a name like "400 Pound Monkey" I thought I might be facing a badass crazy hoppy Imperial IPA. Well, I should have known better due to it being billed as an English IPA, but I tend to be a slow learner, especially when my mind is allowed to stray towards the arena of huge, lineman-sized monkeys. 

Either way, this Monkey was not the best beer that I've ever had, but certainly a very tasty and sessionable (yeah, using a buzzword, so shoot me) English IPA that'll sneak up on you with its deceptively high ABV (almost 7%). 

It poured a light golden yellow with a nice, small head and had a very understated aroma. Herbaly(?) hops were definitely the first aroma I got, with a little bit of citrus mixed in. 

The taste followed in just the same manner, with a forefront of subtle pine notes and some lemony citrus bite afterwards. As I usually find with IPAs, the flavors are enhanced as the beer warms and the Monkey was no exception. The flavor became better and better with every sip, but no one flavor ever took over the show. 

All in all, a very well balanced B+ grade English IPA. If you want to enjoy an IPA but can't handle something like a Double Dry-hopped Arrogant Bastard, this one is a great starter with which to begin understanding the nuances of the style. And trust me, I should know... I'm a total wuss when it comes to extremely hoppy beers... and I totally liked the Monkey.

QUICK TASTE



Left Hand Brewing Company 400 Pound Monkey 
Longmont, CO

ABV 6.70%



English IPA



Appearance: Light golden yellow with a quickly diminishing 1-2 finger head

Aromatics: Quite subtle, with herbal smelling hops

Taste: Fairly thick mouthfeel for an IPA. Lower bitterness, as would be expected from the English style, yet still maintains a nice dry, citrusy finish. A few different flavors coming out, from pine to an almost lemon-honey flavor. Well balanced though, so no one flavor dominated.


Notes: A great "beginner" IPA due to its non-overwhelming hoppiness and nice bright flavor. A tasty, above average representation of an English IPA. 86/100.

Beer Raids in Philly, PLCB is crazy

If you don't know, there have been raids on beer bars and distributors in Philly recently. I think people interested in the future of beer and PA alcohol laws in PA should do some research and look in to the situation but this article has some of the points of view of others in the beer community:


"It all came to a head after an anonymous complaint that a Philadelphia bar was selling beer that had not been properly licensed with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, an agency created after Prohibition in 1933 to regulate the sale of alcohol.
That tip led to raids last week at three upscale bars, where police confiscated three quarter-kegs and 317 bottles of beer that were not believed to have been properly registered with the state. Raids at Memphis Taproom in Philadelphia's Kensington section, Local 44 in west Philadelphia and Resurrection Ale House downtown caught the couple who run them by surprise.
"I feel like there are a lot of typographical errors that caused this," said Leigh Maida, who received calls from staff around midday March 4. "The laws were really developed before there were so many kinds of beers."
"The liquor code, they say, is no match for beers with names like Dogfish Head Raison d'etre and a dark ale called 't smisje BBBorgoundier. The rigid code also isn't able to account for when they abbreviate Allagash White Beer to "Allagash Wit" on their menus."

Midwest IPAs: Hops From The Heartland

Zeno's has recently had Founders Centennial IPA, Darkhorse Crooked Tree IPA, and Bell's Two Hearted Ale (also an IPA) on tap. All three of these are from Michigan and all three are high quality India Pale Ales. But which of these three is the best? ... well that's up to you... I'd had the Centennial and the Two Hearted before, but my only experince with Darkhorse was their Perkulator Coffee Dobblebock. To be honest, I'm not a coffee fan, and I didn't really enjoy the beer, so i really had no idea what else to expect from the brewery. However, when I ordered a pint after a shift at Zeno's and one of the bartenders also gave me a taste of the Bells Two Hearted to compare it to, it impressed me greatly. This comparison gave me the idea for this post. I figured why not throw in the third brewery, Founders, and try all three.
I have to admit, it took me three or four attempts to detect the subtle difference between the Crooked Tree and the Centennial. They both share a very similar color, aroma, and taste. Their tastes are flowery and citrus notes are both the bulk of the flavor and the aroma. The largest difference here is the finish, with the Crooked Tree having a slightly more pine flavor to the finish. Bell's Two Hearted is probably the boldest of the three flavors with the strong grapefruit flavor. All three of the beers have great flavors that linger a while, allowing the smooth, yet dry, finish to become more present.


As far as appearance, from dark to light: the Centennial is the more typical Amber colored AIPA, followed by the more orange colored Crooked Tree, with and the Bells coming in as the lightest.


The Bells is certainly the most balanced and strongest flavor of the group, with the other two not far behind. The Centennial was the smoothest, with the Crooked Tree somewhere in the middle.


So - long story short... the decision for these beers comes down to what flavor notes you want to experience... For me, I typically like the citrusy notes and the mouth feel of the hops, but in this case the transition from the citrus flavors to the pine in the Crooked Tree was just too nice for me to vote against. So, personally, I'd have to give it to the Crooked Tree in this one.

1 bottle of beer (I used Otto's Slab Cabin IPA)
1/4 cup salt
1/4 Brown Sugar
1/2 tbsp black pepper
1/2 tbsp Thyme
1/4 large onion

Poached Festina Salmon with Festina Reduction
Recipe by Brian Connery
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound fresh Salmon- cleaned, deboned and fat cut off
  • Sliced fresh peaches
  • Salt and pepper (to the taste)
  • Chopped green onion or scallion
  • 1 bottle of Dogfish Head Festina Peche
In a shallow pan, place the salmon, seasoned with a small amount of salt and pepper. Place the peaches on and around the salmon. Pour one bottle of Festina Peche into the pan. Cover tightly with foil and place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until done. Thick cuts of salmon will take longer to cook.
Place it on plate and top with reduction and scallions. Use peaches and mushrooms as side dishes.
Reduction preparation:
Ingredients:
  • 1 bottle of Dogfish Head Festina Peche
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
In a small pot, bring Festina up to a simmer. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BRING TO RAPID BOIL. IT WILL BOIL OVER. Add brown sugar and simmer until thick texture is achieved. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken. Drizzle over salmon and peaches.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA Mushrooms
Recipe by Brian Connery
Ingredients:
  • 1 package of whole button or shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic (I use a tablespoon because I love garlic!!!)
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A few leaves of fresh herbs of your choice- chopped (I like Basil myself!)
  • 1 bottle of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Bring bottle of 90 minute IPA up to a simmer. DO NOT BRING TO A BOIL. IT WILL BOIL OVER.
Add garlic and onion, salt, pepper and fresh spices, cook until onions are tender. Add mushrooms. Cook mushrooms on low heat until soft. Add to plate with salmon and enjoy!!
Editor’s note: Unfortunately, Festina Peche is a summer seasonal. We successfully cooked this recipe up at home using Midas Touch; we suggest adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice to mimic the tangy sourness of the Festina Peche.

Harrisburg's Seasonal Heavy Weight

Nugget Nectar: the Nectar of the gods or over-hyped hoppiness?

Nugget Nectar on cask at Zeno's... It's been long awaited and there have been whispers of its coming for weeks, the first two casks lasted less then a week. People came in mid day just to make sure they got a pint and I was looking forward to it just as much as everyone else.

Troegs labels it as a Imperial Amber. So what does that actually mean? As many of us at Zeno's like to say when people ask for an amber... Amber is a color... Troegs Nugget Nectar is an Imperial or stronger (to over simplify the term) version of their Hop Back Ale, which is named after a vessel in the brewhouse called a hopback. (if you wanna know what it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopback) The Nugget Nectar is the hoppier and more flavorful older brother of the Hop Back. Both beers are classified as American Ambers or Red Ales.


For a beer with a slogan like: "Squeeze those hops for all they're worth and prepare to pucker up," I expected much more flavor, but the flavor that was there was great for hop lovers. Flowert hops with slight citrus and even some pine hints to it. It was a great balance and flavor if you like hopes, but for the hype id have liked stronger flavor and a little bit of a punch in the face. I expected more from an imperial version of their flagship beer, just like I've always expected a little more from the state capital that it comes from. Lets just say that its now quite up to the Philly or Pittsburgh quality that it could be.

QUICK TASTE

Troegs Nugget Nectar
Harrisburg, PA

ABV% 7.5

Imperial Amber

Appearance: Cloudy yellowish brown

Aromatics: Sweet Hops

Taste: Dry, Mellow, Hints of Citrus, Dominated by Hops

Notes: Made with five types of hops, Although this beer is very good I think it gets a little bit over-hyped because it only comes out once a year. However, it's definitely one of the better beers made by Troegs (and maybe even coming out of PA) and worth hunting down, especially if you like your hops.
