In this special beer camp blog, we are going to get into the last beer from Sierra Nevada’s  Beer Camp series.  It is called West Latitude Session Rye Ale.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this California base craft  brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this craft brewery.  Let us get into this Rye Ale.

It has a clear ruby color with a white constant color head. The aroma has a sweet malty to rye notes.  The taste has a smooth sweet malt to rye notes with rye aftertaste. It is extremely drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.beercamp.sierranevada.com):

WEST LATITUDE

Session Rye with Hibiscus

West Latitude combines our Californian Left Coast love of fruity hops with a touch of Hawaiian “aloha” from the addition of hibiscus flowers, all anchored by robust malts and spicy rye. This session beer is light in body but looms large, like the long shadows of a westward setting sun.

In the end, Rye in beer needs to be done right for me.  I know how that sounds.  I love Rye ales.  I did not like this one for some odd reason.  It is a solid beer. I know others will like this brew.  It might be the malt grain that they used in this brew.  I am upset with myself because this brew was made by three of my favorite west coast craft breweries.  I cannot like everything that they put out.  I would be lying to myself.  I highly recommend this beer.  I know you will like it.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

MOXEE-MORON

Imperial Session IPA

The city of Moxee, WA, is in the heart of the Yakima Valley hop growing region and this Imperial Session IPA—a style contradiction—honors the Pacific Northwest’s hop-bomb heritage. Moxee-Moron features hops in the mash, the kettle, the Hop Torpedo, and the fermenter for ultra-complex hop aromas and flavors in an ironically named package.

Ending,  I do not know about you but I am getting sick of these marketing gimmick on brews.  This Imperial Session IPA is really a IPA.  I realize that this beer is making fun of the Session IPA.  I did not like the hops that were picked on this beer.  It is mix of hops.  It is just like every IPA on the market.  I am a little disappointed as a Hophead.  I still recommend this beer since it is one off brew.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Metal it!  Enjoy it!  \m/

Cheers!

In closing, I was not sure how I was going to feel about this beer.  I was expecting a dark color beer because of the Rye.  I was pretty stun that it was almost a golden color.  I enjoyed the aroma notes.  There is some nice Rye notes in the tasting profile.  It is different. I like it. This is what I am looking for to this limited release.  I believe everyone needs to take notes from this beer.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Ending, every sampler pack always has that beer that sticks out and is awesome.  This is the beer in this pack.  The Midwest team did a great job on this brew.  This beer was worth every penny that I invested into it.  There is some nice tasting notes and a awesome aroma that will bring the craft beer drinker to the beer.  I love it and I want more.  I would buy a four pack of this brew.  I hope Sierra Nevada bring this beer back.  This beer saved this sampler pack.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

STOUT OF THE UNION

Robust Stout

This stout hails from the land of sun, sand, and surf and proves that beach beer doesn’t have to be light colored and delicate. Stout of the Union is rich, roasty and full of deep malt flavor, creating a union of like-minded brewers together through beer.

Closing, I was pretty excited to try this beer.  It is a pretty solid stout.  I like it but it is like every stout. I was hoping to get something special in a limited release beer sampler.  I cannot believe that I paid just over $30.00 for this brew.  I can paid a little less and get about the same stout.  It is worth the try but I am not going out of my way to try it again.  I recommend but I bet you feel the same way.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

New Beer Blog Sierra Nevada Beer Camp (2016) Sweet Sunny South Table Beer

image

In this special Beer Camp blog, we are going to get into the first of a few beers from this year’s Sierra Nevada Beer Camp.  This is their Sweet Sunny South Table Beer.   Beer Camp has five different breweries on each brew and with Sierra Nevada in six beers in different parts of the United States.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this west coast craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this California base craft brewery.  Let us get into this table beer.

It has a slight cloudy peach like color with a white constant head. The aroma has a heavy sweet peach notes. The taste has a refreshing peach notes with peach tea like aftertaste. It is a nice drinkable beer but can be a nice sipping beer for the summertime.

Here is a description from their website (www.beercamp.sierranevada.com):

SWEET SUNNY SOUTH

Southern Table Beer

The south holds strong to its traditional flavors—tea, honey-sweet peaches and corn grits—so we looked at those culinary cues for this southern-inspired table beer. With a golden grainy malt body and complex tangy finish from the fruit, tea and herbs, Sweet Sunny South is perfect for sultry summer sipping.

Closing,  I missed Beer Camp last year.  They skipped a year.  I do not know the reason.  Does it really matter?  Nope, it just made it pretty exciting this year.  This year was higher than the last one i price.  Table Beer is not a Saison or Farmhouse Ale.  It can be called a Table Wine.  This beer style is a fruit base beer.  It is a beer that has alcohol 1% to 2%.  This Table Beer is 4.9%.  It is a solid beer but not for me.I am not a fan of fruit notes.  I recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Closing, I miss this beer.  This beer was the fall beer seasonal like two to three years ago.  I give them credit for changing it up once in while.  Everyone does an Oktoberfest and it does not make sense to check into something that the rest of the market.  They did something different with their Oktoberfest.  They are brewing with a German brewery.  I have to say that it is really good.  It became one of my favorite brews to drink this fall.  I always love to revisit this beer.  I love this beer. I just wish that it was still available in six-pack and twelve pack. I hate that it is in a sampler pack, however, I am happy they are still giving us this great brew.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

In this fall beer blog, we are going to get into the new fall seasonal from Sierra Nevada Brewery.  It is their Oktoberfest.  It is brewed with Brauhaus Riegele.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on Sierra Nevada Brewery, you know the history of this west coast craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know Sierra Nevada.  Brauhaus Riegele was founded in 1386.  It is one of the oldest brewery in Germany.  Let us get into this fall beer.

It has a clear golden color with a white constant head on this fall beer. The aroma has a light malty notes. It is hard to pick up. The taste has a malty notes that finish slightly sweet for the aftertaste. It is pretty drinkable.

Here is a description from beer bottle:

We partnered with one of Germany’s oldest breweries – Brauhaus Riegele – to create a true festival beer unlike any other brewed in the USA.  Using traditional techniques and ingredients, we’re bringing the style back to its authentic roots with a deep golden color, delicate hop note and rich malt complexity.

Here is a description from their website (www.sierranevada.com):

Oktoberfest

A German-American collaboration on the classic festival beer.

“How Sierra Nevada Made the World’s Best Oktoberfest” —

We’re on a mission to explore the roots of Germany’s festival beers. Each year, we’ll partner with one of a handful of incredible German brewers to create a traditional take on the most famous beer style in history. This year we’re working hand in hand with Brauhaus Riegele of Augsburg. Together we created an authentic Oktoberfest beer, true to the roots of the festival, that’s deep golden in color and rich with complex malt flavor from the use of traditional German Steffi barley.

In the end, I was pretty excited to see Sierra Nevada making Okotberfest.  I thought it was one from the Fall Sampler from last years.  This is a brand new brew beer for this fall.  The one from last year was their brewpub only Oktoberfest.  I will be honest.  I was not a really a huge fan of this years at first.  I believe it was because I was hoping to get the one that I had from last year.  I have to say it really grew on me.  I have been picking it up and sharing it with friends.  I have to say that my friends are loving it. I love it.  I am having a hard time finding it now because stores are selling out and fast.  I highly recommend this one if you can find it.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
