Sea Dog Brewing Company Old East IPA
This fantastic IPA is brewed traditionally, with heaps of malted barley
and heavy doses of hops. Look for good head retention in this filtered,
deep amber ale. We found it to have a big floral hop nose with a sweet maltiness
evident as well. The body is full and dominated with a hoppy bitterness,
indicative of a true IPA. Note a dry, lingering hop finish. Overall, a superb
representation of the style, very full in flavor and most deserving of its
many awards. Consider pairing this brew with meat or hearty pub fare.
Sea Dog Brewing Company Windjammer Blonde Ale
The intense aromatics of Cascade hops are balanced by the richness of traditional two-row British malted barley; top-fermented, the fruity palate and crisp finish bespeak its British origins. This Blonde Ale is mellow with a good hop character and is perfect for washing down that hot and spicy meal.
Snake River Brewing Company Vienna Style Lager
This amber style Vienna lager is the perfect refreshment to quench your thirst
after a day of mountain bike riding or snowboarding in the hills of Wyoming.
The Snake River Vienna Style lager has a rich, caramel flavor with a subtle
hop aroma. It is brewed with an authentic German yeast strain that adds
to the true flavor of this Vienna style lager. Hopped with Washington Perle
hops for flavor, German Hallertau and Tettenang for aroma, and six different
types of malts, you can bet that this medium-bodied lager will go down smooooooooooth.
So sit back and enjoy this Gold Medal winner from the 2000 Great American
Beer Festival with your friends or keep it all to yourself and enjoy it
while it lasts!
Snake River Brewing Company Zonker Stout
Brewmaster, Chris Erickson uses seven, count 'em, seven different malts and
three different hop varieties to produce the beer before you. Chris uses
77% pale 2-row malt, a 15% combination of 3 different caramelized malts,
5% roasted barley malt, 1.5% black malt, and 1.5% chocolate malts when
brewing Zonker. Thirty percent WA Chinook hops are added 30 minutes into
the 2 hour boil, 40% WA Willamette hops are added at three separate points,
and lastly, 30% English Kent Golding hops are added twice, near the end,
and at the end of the boil. A "zonker", by the way, is a large
underwater fishing fly.
We loved this Stout! Hands down, one of the best we've ever reviewed.
Look for a very deep, dark hue, creamy head, a nice roasted nose and a
rich, full flavor. This full-bodied, well-balanced stout is slightly sweet
with a powerful roasted and extremely clean finish. It's not too hoppy
and the use of roasted barley, black malt, and/or chocolate malt is evident.
Overall, a well-deserved medal winner at the GABF.
