Heavy Seas Gold Ale

Clipper City Brewing Company - Heavy Seas Gold Ale

Clipper City Brewing Company - Heavy Seas Gold Ale

  • Style: American Blonde Ale
  • ABV: 4.75%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 20
  • Serving Temperature: 43-48°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Warrior, Centennial, Strisselspalt, Cascade
  • Malts: Pale, Crystal, Wheat
  • Country: United States

A 2000 Bronze medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival and the Official Beer of the Baltimore Bicentennial in 1997, this brew presents sweet malt scents with bold aromatic hops revealing notes of pine and citrus. Compared to the nose, the hop presence is subdued in the flavor, with light caramel malts making up the bulk of the profile with restrained hops contributing a floral note against the graininess that steps in just before the...

Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning Über Pils

Clipper City Brewing Company - Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning Über Pils

Clipper City Brewing Company - Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning Über Pils

  • Style: Imperial Pilsner
  • ABV: 7.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
  • Hops: Warrior, Strisselspalt, Saaz, Cascade, Palisade, Simcoe
  • Malts: Pale, Munich, Caramalt
  • Country: United States

This member of the Heavy Seas “Pyrate Fleet” is quite the inventive brew. Is it an amped up pilsner as the name suggests, or a bock, as described on the neck label? Let’s find out. On the pour, this brew presents an attractive coppery golden hue – it’s certainly a bit more color than your average pils. Herbal, grassy hop aromas greet the nose, underscored by fairly robust pale and light caramel malt notes. On the palate, look for the malts and hops...

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company Original Lager

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company - Original Lager

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company - Original Lager

  • Style: Helles Lager
  • ABV: 5.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 19
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass, Mug
  • Hops: Mt. Hood, Sterling
  • Malts: Pilsner, Munich Light
  • Country: United States

This Munich-style helles (German for “bright”) lager pours a medium golden color capped by a bright white head of foam. On the nose, look for a mildly bready malt note overlaid with prominent European-style hop aromas offering sweetly fruity touches of lemon, as well some spicy, grassy notes. Expect a satisfying core of pale malts with a light toastiness and subtle breadiness. Though not a bitter beer, the hop flavors are quite apparent...

Christian Moerlein Emancipator Doppel Bock

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company - Emancipator Doppel Bock

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company - Emancipator Doppel Bock

  • Style: Doppelbock
  • ABV: 7.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 27
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug or Stein
  • Hops: Hersbrucker
  • Malts: 2-Row, Munich Light, Crystal 120, Chocolate, Munich Dark
  • Country: United States

Emancipator is a traditional doppelbock, greeting the nose with bready, malty goodness. Look for notes of dark fruits like prunes and raisins, and a waft of rum. We get notes of toffee, caramel and coffee as well. On the palate, expect a big, chewy beer presenting impressions of figs, plums, raisins, salt and peat, with currants, a slight almond nut character and slight alcohol warmth. There are some slight burnt malt notes in the finish, perfectly...

EKU Pils

EKU Brauerei - EKU Pils

EKU Brauerei - EKU Pils

  • Style: German Pilsner
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 43-48°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass (Pokal)
  • Country: Germany

EKU Pils is a well-carbonated brew, with a big, fluffy, bright white head atop the golden body. Look for notes of spicy and floral hops with a traditional pilsner pale maltiness. We very much enjoyed this easy-drinking brew, with its crisp, clean, and dry finish, and lightly lingering bitter hop-forward aftertaste. This beer is great with food, and would be a great accompaniment for anything from pizza, to whitefish, to Chicken Kiev, to spicy Thai or Indian fare...

EKU 28

EKU Brauerei - EKU 28

EKU Brauerei - EKU 28

  • Style: Doppelbock-Eisbock
  • ABV: 11.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Snifter or Tulip
  • Country: Germany

EKU 28 walks a bit of a tightrope act between a standard eisbock and an amped-up, fortified doppelbock. While their recipe has never been released to the public, we do know that it spends an astonishing nine months lagering, during which time the temperature is lowered until the beer starts to freeze. EKU claims, however, that the amount of ice removed from the beer is not really a major factor in its potent level of alcohol or its concentrated...

Brasserie des Sources Bellerose

Brasserie des Sources - Bellerose

Brasserie des Sources - Bellerose

  • Style: Belgian IPA-French Bière de Garde Hybrid
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: Belgium

In 2011, Bellerose won a gold medal at the IBC (International Beer Challenge) in London, and repeated its performance in 2012, reaffirming its status as an exceptional beer (French beer winning beer gold in the UK? Now that really IS something). These back-to-back accolades represented the first time a French beer has been awarded consecutive gold medals at the IBC. Well done! Let’s get to it… Expect plenty of sediment on the bottom of...

Brouwerij De Ranke Noir de Dottignies

Brouwerij De Ranke - Noir de Dottignies

Brouwerij De Ranke - Noir de Dottignies

  • Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
  • ABV: 9.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: Belgium

Proudly named after the site of their recently-built brewery, Noir de Dottignies fills the glass with a tall plume of creamy, 3-fingers thick head that is a toasty, beige color. Expect the dense head to linger for quite a while. This is De Ranke’s darkest beer, and it features more varieties of malt than any of their other brews (six in fact). Despite the name, it’s not black. That being said, in contrast with all other De Ranke beers to date, this beer definitely...
