Harpoon Celtic Red

Harpoon Brewing Company - Celtic Red

Harpoon Brewing Company - Celtic Red

  • Style: Irish Red Ale
  • ABV: 5.4%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 26
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Apollo, Willamette
  • Malts: Pale, Irish Ale, Caramel 120, Roasted
  • Country: United States

Like with the Black IPA, Harpoon graciously brewed us a batch of their delicious Celtic Red, which they normally only brew as a seasonal between January and March. Formerly known as Hibernian Irish Style Red Ale, the beer was renamed, probably because most people didn’t get the reference to Hibernia, the Roman name for Ireland, and, well it was a bit of a mouthful. But no biggie, Celtic Red is a perfect name for this true-to-style Irish Red Ale...

Floreffe Triple

Brasserie Lefèbvre - Floreffe Triple

Brasserie Lefèbvre - Floreffe Triple

  • Style: Tripel
  • ABV: ~8%
  • Serving Temperature: 47-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Goblet
  • Country: Belgium

The Belgian Tripel style (alternatively spelled ‘triple’ or sometimes ‘trippel’) is so named because these beers are brewed with significantly more malt than an abbey brewery’s more simple offerings. This version is brewed to an old recipe created by the monks of the Abbaye de Floreffe and pours a beautiful golden-coppery color with a voluminous, pillowy head; retention is excellent. Notice a slight haze, which is expected in bottle-conditioned...

Weihenstephaner Oktoberfestbier

Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan - Weihenstephaner Oktoberfestbier

Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan - Weihenstephaner Oktoberfestbier

  • Style: Märzen
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Country: Germany

Weihenstephaner Oktoberfestbier (also known simply as Festbier in certain markets) pours a brilliant, clear, golden color capped by a nice crop of white foam which retains fairly well before leaving behind some lace as it drops to a persistent collar. Unlike some other Oktoberfest-style beers, which are often very focused on doughy/bready malts, this brew offers a much more balanced approach, and actually leans a bit more towards the hoppy...

Caractère Rouge

Brouwerij Rodenbach - Caractère Rouge

Brouwerij Rodenbach - Caractère Rouge

  • Style: Oak-Aged Sour Ale w/ Cherries, Raspberries, and Cranberries
  • ABV: 7%
  • Serving Temperature: 43–50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Flute, or Pinot Glass
  • Country: Belgium

The appearance of this beer, though—and despite the number of times we’re inclined to use the word “fruit” in the following paragraphs—kind of gives a better sense of what this beer’s about: this is more ruby and caramel and barrel-brown than fruit-pop red, or anything along those lines. Headless, it might pass for sherry. It does give a berry-color glow at some angles. A firm, off-white/light-pink foam lingers for a while at the edge, with...

Peak Organic Fall Summit Ale

Peak Organic Brewing Company - Fall Summit Ale

Peak Organic Brewing Company - Fall Summit Ale

  • Style: American Amber Ale
  • ABV: 5.7%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 64
  • Serving Temperature: 47-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Summit, Palisade, Simcoe
  • Malts: Pale, Munich
  • Country: United States

This seasonal brew presents an attractive amber color topped with lots of rocky foam. On the nose, look for prominent hoppy notes: citrusy, piney, and quite fruity, with touches of stone fruit akin to apricot. A caramelized malt character underpins the aroma, and it comes though on the palate prominently, too, as the Munich malt delivers a toasty, caramelized core. The hop bitterness is quite bold, thanks to a big addition of locally-grown...

Peak Organic Nut Brown Ale

Peak Organic Brewing Company - Nut Brown Ale

Peak Organic Brewing Company - Nut Brown Ale

  • Style: English Brown Ale
  • ABV: 4.8%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 21
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Hallertau, Newport
  • Malts: Chocolate, Munich
  • Country: United States

Loosely brewed as an English-style brown ale, this brew presents an attractive medium brown with a nice cap of foam that drops to a persistent collar. Rich caramel malt notes are readily apparent on the nose, joined by complementary notes of brown sugar, some fruity esters, mild nuttiness, and just a hint of butter. On the palate, look for toasted, caramelized malts to form the core of this brew. All the aromas seem to come through on the...

Malheur Zestig

Brouwerij Malheur - Zestig

Brouwerij Malheur - Zestig

  • Style: Dry-Hopped Golden Ale
  • ABV: 10%
  • Serving Temperature: 46–53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Goblet, Tulip, or Burgundy Glass
  • Country: Belgium

If Malheur didn’t already have a special spot in our beer-loving hearts, we’d make room after sampling this release. We’re most accustomed to Malheur’s deep-dark beers—their 12 and Dark Brut come to mind first and foremost—but Zestig feels more along the lines of a dry-hopped Bière Brut: pale, slightly creamy in texture, with a yeast-forward profile. We love the Bière Brut, in the what-would-you-take-to-a-deserted-island sense of the word...

Harpoon Black IPA

Harpoon Brewing Company - Black IPA

Harpoon Brewing Company - Black IPA

  • Style: Black IPA
  • ABV: 7%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 67
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Chinook, Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial
  • Malts: Pale, Flaked Barley, Caramel 60, Midnight Wheat, Chocolate
  • Country: United States

Originally brewed for their “100 Barrel Series” of one-off beers, this limited edition brew is normally only available—occasionally—in Harpoon’s seasonal IPA Adventure mixed packs. The team at Harpoon was kind enough to resurrect the recipe and brew a limited release batch just for our members. Pouring a very deep brown-black with reddish highlights, this brew delivers a big head of sticky foam that retains well. Look for citrus hop aromas...
