Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale
Beer-a-Day #328 
Designed as our session beer, Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale is bronze in color with a velvety smooth taste and subtle chocolate note. Rugged Trail’s lower alcohol content and subtle hoppiness make it the perfect beer to enjoy during the day and into the night.
Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale is the perfect complement for spicy Mexican and Asian dishes and and spicy, broth-based soups.
It’s a pretty, dark brown color with ruby highlights. Aroma is clean and has that “subtle chocolate note” they mention. Taste is light, but not too light, with a bit of roastiness. I’m not generally a fan of nut browns, but that’s pretty good.

Tröegs DreamWeaver Wheat Ale

Beer-a-Day #86 I’ve been having a lot of wheat beers lately. Odd. Pale yellow with a white head. Hazy, but as it is unfiltered that is to be expected. Plenty of that bubblegum, banana, and clove aroma. Light in the mouth with a clean finish. Good stuff.

The brewery itself is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery, and was founded in 1758. I always worry about beer from across the pond, especially when it’s not one of the really popular ones on this
Tröegs HopBack Amber Ale

Beer-a-Day #28 Tröegs calls this their flagship beer. How odd that I’ve never had it. Especially since I generally like Tröegs’ beers. Nice, deep amber color with a white head. Bready from the malt, grassy from the hops. Medium body with a clean finish and plenty of sharp hop bitterness. Me likey. I’ll be picking

Tuborg aren’t the only ones who are playing on the old joke about beer goggles. Here’s an ad from Tröegs, a craft brewer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and one of my favorite brewers, for their Troegenator Double Bock, which weighs in at 8.2% ABV. http://www.ifilm.com/video/2674442 You can also read my review of the beer itself. submit_url
