It has a slightly cloudy golden color with a white head at first. It disappears over time. The smell has a heavy blueberry notes. The taste of this light body has a sweet blueberry notes with a sweet blueberry aftertaste. It is extremely drinkable beer.

Closing, I enjoy their beers but I do not go out of my way to find their brews.  I normally get some beer when my friend visits the brewery.  I am guarantee to get the product fresh.  I am a little worried with the beer in the beer stores by me.  This beer is extremely drinkable beer.  It is smooth and easy to drink as the classic beer style was designed.  I am not a fan but I can see people liking this beer.  It is well designed and well made beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

In this fall beer blog, we are going to get into another Oktoberfest from Cheboygan Brewing.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Michigan craft brewery.  Let us get into this Oktoberfest Beer.

It has a nice clear light amber to dark copper color with a semi white head.  The smell has a candy to sweet caramel notes.  The taste has a sweet candy to caramel notes with a dry malty notes for the aftertaste.  It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a desecration from their website (www.cheboyganbrewingcompany.com):

Gold Medal award winner at the 2012 Frankenmuth World Expo of Beer!

The beer, created by the brewery’s operation manager and brewmaster Tim Perry, who was inspired by the 1976 Späten Oktoberfest bier from Munich, Germany, is orange in hue with a pronounced malt presence. 6% ABV IBU 28.  Available in the Fall.  Available in six packs seasonally.

In the end, I have been really impressed with all the fall seasonals asides the Erdinger, Griffin Claw, Atwater Brewery, and Weihenstephaner.  I have to say those were bad.  I believe that is four out of fourteen fall beers.  This brewery puts another good one on that list.  I am so happy to have a great streak of fall beers this season.  I love the candy to caramel notes from the malt. It is pretty sweet but yet has a nice malty dry finish.  It will have you coming back and drink more and more of this beer.  I highly recommend this beer.  You can find this one in the Michigan market.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

In this beer blog, we are going to get into the third beer from Cheboygan Brewery.  It is their High Grade Export Beer Lager.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts, you know the history of this German base Michigan craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Michigan craft brewery.  Let us get into this Imperial Pilsner.

It has a cloudy golden color with a white constant head on this Imperial Pilsner.  The smell has a ton of farm to hay notes.  The taste has a light carbonation notes with a malty to earthy hop notes.  It is not bitter like IPA or pale ale.  The aftertaste has a farm to hay dry finish that will keep you coming back for more of it.  It is pretty drinkable beer.

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

Closing, this is a really great beer and I wish I could get it in the lower part of Michigan.  I love their ongoing theme throughout all of their beers.  It has some earthy, farm-house, and hay notes.  Some people do not welcome that but it is what makes it special about their beers and this brewery.  There is some nice hop notes and a strong malty notes.  It is a pretty drinkable beer with evil side to it.  You need to watch yourself around her.  It has a bite of alcohol waiting to hit you.  If you are around their brewpub, stop and try this beer and take a six-pack home with you.  This hophead needs to get up there and try their IPA one of these days.  I recommend this pilsner.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Cheboygan Brewery Blood Orange Wheat

image

In this beer blog, we are going to sample the second brew from Cheboygan Brewery.  It is their Blood Orange Wheat.  If you read my beer blog posts on their Lemongrass Wheat a few days ago, you know the history of this Michigan craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read to get to know Cheboygan Brewery.  Let us get into this wheat.

It has a cloudy straw to a light golden color with a semi white head.  The aroma has a heavy orange notes.  The taste profile of this light to medium body has a wheat orange notes with a nice orange aftertaste.  It is pretty drinkable beer.

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

A unique twist on a great American-style wheat beer, with the addition of fresh local wildflower honey mixed with blood orange zest, and blood orange puree. The result is a medium bodied beer that is very smooth with a residual sweetness, and creaminess from the honey, and an exhilierating nose of citrus from the orange. Ahh, summertime. 5.7% ABV

Closing, compare to the Lemongrass Wheat, this is not as good but it is still a solid beer.  It is a great beer.  I did not like this beer as much as I enjoyed their Lemongrass Wheat.  I am not a huge fan of oranges and there is nothing wrong with it.  This is why we have several different beer styles in the market.  The orange notes are not overpowering the wheat ale.  It is a nice refreshing beer.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Cheboygan Brewery Lemongrass Wheat

image

In this beer blog, we are going to sample another brew from a Michigan craft brewery.  It is Cheboygan brewery.  It is their Lemongrass Wheat.  I want to thank my friend Mike for bring this beer and two others beer from this craft brewery.  Hentschel brothers open Cheboygan Brewery in 1872.  The lumber industry was growing and the brewery growing at the same time.  As the lumber industry slowed down and moved out of Michigan.  The brewery closed in 1911.  After about 100 years later, this brewery reopen their doors with newer beers and one throw back brew which will be reviewed down the road.  Let us get into this Lemongrass Wheat.

It has a clear dark golden color without a head on this wheat ale.  The smell has hints of hay and slight lemon notes.  The taste has earthly with a smooth lemon notes.  The aftertaste has a lemon finish.  It is extremely drinkable beer.

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

Pale malts are mixed with whole kernel and flaked wheat. This combined with a low rate hopping schedule create a light bodied beer with little bitterness. Fresh lemon zest and fresh lemon grass provide an invigorating finish. Mix with sunshine, and enjoy. 5.0% ABV

Closing, the history of this craft brewery is pretty interesting.  This craft brewery is really the oldest craft brewery in the State of Michigan.  I believe Frankenmuth brewery has it because they did not close.  Anyways, I was pretty shocked that I enjoyed this beer as much as I did.  I am not a wheat beer fan.  I love Hefeweizens.  This beer has a nice light to medium body with some nice lemon notes.  This is a great beer for the spring and summer.  I highly recommend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
