LarryD Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Alaskan IPA Style: India Pale Ales are characterized by intense hop flavor and aroma. Thisstyle possesses medium maltiness and body while also being crisp anddry. Citrus flavors and aromas are moderate to very strong. Flavor Profile: Alaskan IPA is honey gold in color with a fruity, citrus aroma. Anenticing blend of hops and our dry hopping process, in which hops areadded directly to tanks during fermentation, give this brew a veryintense, complex aromatic character with a refreshing hop finish. History: India Pale Ale is a style of ale originally derived from a colonial thirst for British-brewed beers. When shipping beer to the colonies, particularly India, thought had to be given to the length of the journey. By initially brewing beer to high specific gravities it could continue to ferment during the journey. Larger amounts of hops were also added for their preservative properties and resulted in a golden beer with a hoppy flavor. Ingredients: Alaskan IPA is made from glacier-fed water and a generous blend of thefinest quality European and Pacific Northwest hop varieties and premiumtwo-row and specialty malts. Our water originates in the1,500-square-mile Juneau Ice Field and from more than 90 inches ofrainfall each year. Recommendations: The pronounced hopflavor makes this style of beer refreshing and a deliciousaccompaniment to grilled prawns, spicy food and as an aperitif. Specifications: Original Gravity: 1.057, ABV: 6.2%, Bitterness: 55 IBU, Color: 9 SRM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirchzep27 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i could be the molson golden czar for the -us if they needed one. nahh that would take all the fun out of periodic drinking cause it would be too serious. sierra nevada pale ale is a great beer/ale. i think this is where the brew pubs are great because they have really different and original beers on tap.

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Back in the day (of drinking) I liked this one quite a bit! The big bottle with the real cork is the best tasting. http://www.grolsch.com/defaultcom.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 When I want to splurge on a special beer I like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. But lately I've had to resort to Bud Light with Lime. Gotta try and watch my girlish figure, or whats left it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) I do like Sam Adams. It redefined American beer...for the better. Edited December 12, 2009 by Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I do like Sam Adams. It redefined American beer...for the better. Sam Adams does have several tasty brews. The hubby liked the Triple Bock once in a while but it was too strong for me. I read that they no longer make that brew. We go to a pub once in a while that has 141 beers on tap so I can get adventurous in my beer tasting. They let me take a little taste test before ordering a mug. Nothing worse than buying a pitcher or six pack and discover I don't like it. But then I usually find someone who would be more than happy to finish it off for me.

kaiser Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I just spotted a bottle of Ommegang the other day & that brought back warm, fuzzy memories. Delirium Dark I love as well, it's like drinking a steak covered in choclate. My old standby is Bass Ale. It's simple but satisfying as it does the job.

ledzepfvr Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) I stopped by a new store in the neighborhood and found another Sam Adams that I like. Blackberry Witbier This store had an amazing beer and wine selection, plus alot of organic foods. A cross between Trader Joes and Henrys market. My new store to grocery shop at. My daughter loved it too as they had alot of vegitarian foods . Edited February 14, 2010 by ledzepfvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I rarely drink beer anymore, but if I do, it's either a Guiness, something locally brewed, or, if I'm at the beach, Corona w/lime (goes great w/seafood!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNK08 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I like wheat beers mostly. But my go to ultra reliable beer has become Miller High Life, the champagne of beers. Truly a great beer at a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I love Duvel's Gulden Draak. If you're used to normal beer, especially something like the more bitter IPA, this would probably taste pretty weird to you because it's actually almost kind of sweet. It's kind of expensive, but I got a small bottle of it to drink while I was watching the Daytona 500 today (no Bud here, sorry), but then I forgot and left it at home, darn it. And I was going to be consoled by the fact that it started a little early for drinking here on the West Coast anyway, but with all the delays, it definitely went over into beer drinking time. I did have some Newcastle as a backup, though, so all was not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioservant Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 German beer is the best because of the 'Reinheitsgebot' My favourite is 'Früh Kölsch' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 i take a break from beer every year, been taking this herb called -kudzu and its good. read about it in a book about the southern states, its a vine that grows all along the sides of roads, its from china and they use it in -china for anti alcohol support. it is sorta like nicorette gum for stopping smoking i guess. just wanted to share that for anyone that might find it helpful.
