Beer-a-Day #104
This is new. So new, that it’s not even mentioned on the Old Dominion Brewing website. The label describes it as a Blonde Ale and as a “malt beverage brewed with honey, chamomile and orange peels”.
Pale, hazy yellow with a white head. Plenty of carbonation; it reminds me of ginger ale. Citrus and honey in the aroma. Light and fizzy; it reminds me again of ginger ale, but not quite as sweet. With 7.8% ABV it has a good kick.
Beer-a-Day #84
I’ve never seen this before, in spite of it being fairly local to me. “Premium Ale Brewed with Honey” exclaims the label, as well as 10.5% ABV. Yikes!
Dark honey colored, with a thick, off-white head. Some vanilla in the aroma, along with grassiness from the hops. Not sweet. Some alcohol heat, but not as much as I expected. There’s an unusual burnt toast flavor in the aftertaste.
Beer-a-Day #54
A deep brown with a tan head that drops quickly. Lots of vanilla in the aroma. (Well, it is brewed with vanilla beans.) Some coffee, too. More of that in the flavor with a good bit of roastiness.
