Canadian Beer #2- Dundee ale

Dundee Ale

Info: so tonight we went to a local place. I tried finding the Rickards Dark but no one seems to have it. I decided on the house brew, they had Dundee Red and Dundee Ale. I chose the latter. (Abv etc coming soon)

Brewery- Genese Brewing Co

Country- USA

ABV-5.3%

Look golden. See through...That's Yudys Sangria in the background. She really liked that too...

Feel- not overly carbonated.

Smell- Very strange that there's no stand out scents in this one. There's a citrus malty aroma but it's faint... 

Taste- it tastes like an ale. Since I ordered an ale, that's a good thing. Citrus is very slight and in the background only, it doesn't dominate the beer.

Opinion- it paired very well with my burger so that is definitely a plus in my book. It left no ill aftertaste, that's also a plus. It was an ale and It was better than yesterday's beer ...7/10 ...but again it could be skewed because I'm in Montreal lol 

Greetings From Montreal- Rickards Irelander

Rickards- Red

Ale de Style Irelander

Info- Greetings from Canada... I decided while I'm here to do a couple beers. I'll fill in the abv etc later but for now... Beer 1...

Brewery: Molson

Country of Origin- Canada

ABV - 5.2%

Look-See through reddish brown, with a white foam head that wasn't too heady.

Feel-Quite carbonated in every sip.

Smell- It smells like beer, and that's not a bad thing because well, it's beer...the aroma is malty/hoppy with a hint of spices..

Taste- It's very hoppy, smooth and pleasant. 

Opinion- Now this could be just because I'm in Montreal and whatever I had would have been good, but I liked it. It's not bad at all. Not terrific but it's good. I'll give it 6/10

4/9/15 Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale

Kentucky Bourbon Barrell Ale

Info: I've had this beer before and it is fast becoming one of my favorite beers. If your like beer and you like bourbon keep reading... I'm reviewing this because ive been craving this beer for a few weeks.

Name: Kentucky Bourbon Barrell Ale

Brewery: Alltech Lexington Brewing Co

Country: USA

ABV: 8.2

Look: Amber slightly brownish. (The clarity is amazing as well)

Feel: It's light but not in taste. Very smooth with a little carbonation.

Smell: Bourbon! There's almost no beer scent at all. It's a wonderful bourbon aroma. 

Taste: Bourbon, smooth, and not overpowering. As I said I've had this before, this batch seems to taste much more like bourbon than other times I've had it.

Opinion: Fantastic... It's a sipping beer for sure, definitely not a beer to be chugged by any means. It's a distinct taste of bourbon, but it's still a beer. The taste is not overbearing, but not light that you can't taste anything. As of this moment it is in the top 5 beers I've ever had, and for that reason, I will give this a perfect score. 10 out of 10. As a sipping beer this is amazing! Highly recommended. Enjoy!

4/3/15 Bluepoint Brewery Pumpkin Ale

Bluepoint Brewery Pumpkin Ale

4/3/15

Info: I went to a beer tasting back in July 2014. Bluepoint Brewery was one of the vendors. I liked both their beers so I wanted to review one of their beers.

Country: Long Island NY USA

Brewery: Bluepoint Brewery www.bluepointbrewing.com

ABV: 6.0%

Source: Bottle 12 oz

Look: orangish/Amber, with a little head/foam to top it off.

Feel: It's a little carbonated, but not overly carbonated. (You can see the bubbles in the picture above.)

Smell: There's a distinct smell of pumpkin, and what I think may be cinnamon. 

Taste: It's quite good. Despite the strong smell of pumpkin, the taste of pumpkin is not overpowering. However the spices of the pumpkin is evident.

Opinion: like I said in the taste section, it's quite good. I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin to begin with because in food it can be very overwhelming. (And in beer it is hit or miss, , I missed big time with my home brew) However in this beer, it is not. It's tasty but not too spicy. It is a beer that you can have more than one and still enjoy it. It's a solid 7 out of 10. I'd recommend this to others.
