Beer-a-Day #132
Not too many saisons grace my icebox. I can probably count the number of pints I’ve had on one hand.
Pale yellow; white head. Obviously a Belgian yeast with a lot of complex aromas. Fruity, bubblegum, maybe a little cinnamon. Flavor is complex without overdoing it.
This isn’t something I’d like on a regular basis, but it makes a very pleasant change of pace.

Monkey Wrench Saison Ale

My step-sister* visited recently and brought me a six-pack of 750ml bottles from Fegley’s BrewWorks. The “BrewWorks” consist of three locations in the Lehigh Valley. I visited the Allentown location (or was it Bethlehem?) a looooong time ago and haven’t had a chance to get back. Besides, she brought it all that way… It’s a

Beer-a-Day #290 This robust dark brew has been created in conjunction with Crescent Moon to coffee to come up with a special five bean blend to bring out the depth of the beer.

Beer-a-Day #286 A classic marzen style lager, amber in color with a rich, toasty malt flavor and finish. Well balanced and smooth. Marzen is the style of beer traditionally associated with Oktoberfest. The name is a play on words since in Baltimore, everyone is “hon!” Once a year this beer gets a special “Oktoberfest” label.

Beer-a-Day #250 The cap says: “Without hops the world stops” We’re back to sweltering summer weather, but that little chill we had last week is a reminder that autumn is just around the corner. My favorite season. It’s the color of dried apricot. Head is off-white with some staying power. Nice big grassy hop aroma.

Beer-a-Day #246 In anticipation of tomorrow’s Session topic (Summer Beers) I pulled this out of the fridge. It’s been actually chilly in the mornings the last few days, so I figured I’d better drink this before the autumn weather starts in earnest. Samuel Adams® Summer Ale is an American wheat ale.

Beer-a-Day #227 hI.P.A. is a highly hopped India Pale Ale and the Spring SeasonAle. A medium-bodied beer with a fresh and fruitful nose of vernal vitality. It begins and ends with a big hop bite that is itself forever balanced on the brink by a steady rhythm of malt. Dry-hopped for extra quenching in the
