Microbrouwerij Achilles - Serafijn Belgian Pale Ale

  • Style: Belgian Pale Ale
  • Alcohol by Volume: 6.20%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Oversized Red Wine Glass
  • Country: Belgium
Serafijn Belgian Pale Ale pours a hazy murky amber with an off white sticky head. On the nose, expect very floral, phenolic, Belgian yeast notes to flutter out of the glass. Expect a mild tartness implied in the aroma, similar to SweeTarts candy. Talcum powder, stone fruits and ripe red grapes are present as well, with caramel and apple skin notes emerging as the beer comes up in temperature. The overall sweetness kicks up a bit at full warmth, a...

  • Suggested Glassware: Oversized Red Wine Glass or Snifter
  • Country: United States
If you are like we were, you’re not sure what to expect from this beer. This heavily hopped IPA is aged on spirals of Spanish Cedar during primary fermentation. Who ages beer on Spanish Cedar, a wood normally used in the construction of humidors and high end cigar boxes? Cigar City Brewing, that’s who—and they are, to our knowledge, the first commercial brewery to use this wood in beer aging. Which had us asking: why didn’t someone else start doi...

Anadolu Efes Brewery - Efes Dark

  • Alcohol by Volume: 6.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute or Pint Glass
  • Country: Turkey
This style of beer, known today quite generically as “Euro Dark Lager,” has its origins in Franconia, Germany, as well as parts of Bohemia across the border in the Czech Republic. Efes Dark serves as a stronger, darker counterpart to Anadolu Efes’ hugely successful Efes Pilsener (that beer is found ubiquitously in its homeland). Just like their pilsener, Efes Dark is produced using bottom fermenting yeast (as all lagers are). These lager yeast gi...

Wychwood Brewery - Hobgoblin

  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug (clear or opaque)
  • Country: England
Rated exceptional (91 points) by the Beverage Tasting Institute, earning a Gold Medal in the 2006 World Beer Championships, Hobgoblin pours a deep amber (you could call it light brown) with a great pub-ale look to it with its beautiful, lacing head. Look for rich caramel, toffee, and maple syrup notes on the nose, with a nice dose of true-to-style British butterscotch character, dried dark fruits, and nuttiness. A notable feature is its woody cha...

Lancaster Brewing Company - Lancaster Strawberry Wheat Beer

  • Alcohol by Volume: 4.60%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 16
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Weizen Glass
  • Hops: Cascade, Hallertau
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Wheat Malt, Caramel
  • Country: United States
The strawberry aroma is unmistakable on this one, but it sits nicely in the overall beery flavor profile, without feeling artificial or extract-like. Along with the fruit aroma, expect some faint bubblegum and cidery, champagne-like scents. It can be challenging to separate from the prominent strawberry notes, but as you sample the beer, look for a hefty dose of cereal grains. We found the flavor profile quite interesting; it does not develop lik...

  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Caramel, Roasted Barley, Chocolate Malt, Black Malt (& Lactose)
  • Country: United States
Just shy of black with a tan colored head, expect big, rich, unmistakable stout notes, with hints of dried plum, dark chocolate, coffee, and a prominent lactic edge that suggests hints of acidity. On the palate, look for a flavor progression that starts with clean, dry stout notes (coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits) and quickly develops a lactic sweetness in the middle. Despite the name, it doesn’t taste like milk, but it has a similar faint sw...

Ranks up there as just about the most phallic beer label art we’ve ever seen, but the real-life show depicted in the portrait is similarly suggestive indeed. Expect profound citrus (orange) notes, provided by the addition of sweet orange peel, and a very active lager yeast strain that has produced an ample supply of fruity esters. These notes bounce off of fennel and aniseed spice notes. Notice how the aroma is absolutely full of fennel, and this...

Brewed to support a good cause, proceeds from the sale of the Coney Island Lager beers support Coney Island USA, a Non-Profit dedicated to the mission of defending the honor of lost forms of America popular arts and culture. This beer really is a freak of sorts; among America’s 1500 or so craft breweries, there are very few aggressively hopped “big” pale lagers. Expect lots of citrus and piney hops to emerge from the glass, with suggestions of pi...
