RJ Rockers The First Snow Ale

Beer-a-Day #352 RJ Rockers The First Snow Ale

This hearty American pale ale contains a rich blend of spices that warms the soul on a cold winter’s night. Chill the mug, stoke the fire, and savor this quality seasonal brew. Available only during the Winter season.

The D.C. area is about to be pelted with the biggest snowstorm since 1987. This seems an appropriate choice, then.

Golden yellow with just the slightest chill haze.  Creamy head. Cinnamon and nutmeg in the aroma. The spices don’t overwhelm the beer, though. I rather like that.

RJ Rockers Bald Eagle Brown Ale

RJ Rockers Bald Eagle Brown AleBeer-a-Day #226

A traditional English-style brown ale, but with more body. Its deep brown color comes from a combination of Chocolate and Black malts. Tall, dark and smooth – the perfect cure for the domestic beer blahs.

A craft beer out of South Carolina? Cool. And the owner is from Jersey.

A dark golden brown, with some ruby highlights. Smells rather sweet, with aroma of vanilla and caramel. The taste follows, with medium body. I don’t normally go in for brown ales, but this one is pretty darn good.
