New Beer Blog Natty Greene’s Buckshot Filtered Amber Ale

In this beer blog, we are going to get into another beer from Natty Greene’s Buckshot Filtered Amber Ale. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this southern craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know this craft brewery. Let us get into this amber ale.

It has a clear light amber color with a white constant head. The aroma has a sweet malty to slight caramel notes. The taste has a sweet malty to a nutty notes with a dry malty aftertaste. It is a pretty drinkable beer.

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

Brewer’s Notes

Richly colored, characterized by balanced hop and malt profiles with roasted toffee and caramel highlights, Crafted to be rich but not heavy. Hospitable and easy to get along with, this is our best selling beer, perfect for every occasion.

We use six different malts, that’s unusual for an amber ale, but essential to creating its deep, full flavor. The distinctive toffee / roasty notes come from three Belgian malts, especially the Special B roast malt. And to nothing interferes with all that good maltiness, we use mild American aroma hops, just to balance the sweetness.

Closing, I am not a huge fan of Red, Irish Red, and Amber ales. I respect the beer style but I do not go out of my way to pick it up. I will drink them. A friend of mine from Tri-City was down south and brought back a few beers. This beer was part of that pile. It is a solid beer and true to the beer style. There is nice aroma and tasting notes. I believe craft beer drinkers that love red and amber ales will love this beer. I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Stone Brewery Enjoy By Tangerine IPA

In this beer blog, we are going to get into another special release from Stone Brewery. It is their Enjoy By Tangerine IPA. 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 West Coast craft brewery. Let us get into IPA.

It has a clear golden color with a white constant head. The aroma has a tangerine to juicey citrus notes. The taste has a nice juicey tangerine notes with a nice tangerine aftertaste. It is pretty drinkable beer.

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

Stone Enjoy By 07.25.16 Tangerine IPA | Stone Brewing

After brewing this intense double IPA with more than 10 different hops and consistently delivering it faster than any bottled IPA on the planet, we decided to do something different with this Stone Enjoy By IPA—we took it to another level, again. Puréed tangerines were added to the batch to create a devastatingly fresh IPA with a tang of tangerine. The flavors yielded by this addition to the recipe meld beautifully with the bitterness of the hops. True to this series, Stone Enjoy By Tangerine IPA is brewed specifically NOT to last, and should be enjoyed within 37 days.

In the end, the year of the fruit beer keeps on rolling. Here is another fruit IPA. It is coming from Stone Brewery. I know this craft brewery never disappoints many of us craft beer drinkers. I have to say they stepped up and made a better beer than New Belgium Citradelic IPA. I am not saying it is better but if I had to drink this one. I have to say Stone. New Belgium one is a great beer and they make great craft brands. I just like this one because of the ABV and that leads me to talk about a local one from Frankenmuth Brewery. It is their Tangerinos IPA. Just like the Stone, the ABV is around 9%. Closing, there is nothing wrong with New Belgium along with these two beers. They are all great beers and this is my thought. I am getting more favor from Stone and Frankenmuth. I highly recommend all these beers. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Woodward Avenue Brewers Visit

In this beer blog, I had a chance to visit brewpub over the holiday weekend, which was Memorial Day. I know it does not matter. I visited the Woodward Avenue Brewpub also known as WAB. It is located almost on the corner of Nine Mile and Woodward. I am going to start with the history, beer, and other things. Let us get into the history.

WAB opened their doors for the first time in 1997. There is not much history that I can find on the web. I believe they are first brewpub and brewery in the Ferndale area. Let us get into the beer.

There is a new brewmaster in place now. The new brewmaster came from Green Bush Brewery. If you live in the State of Michigan, you know everything about Green Bush Brewery. They make some pretty solid beers. Their Blonde Lager has been around since the start of this brewery. It is a pretty solid beer. They did an Imperial Blodne Ale. The Imperial Blonde has some honey in it. I am not a fan of Blonde Ales. I can see many craft beer drinkers drinking this beer. The word on the street was their new IPA. It is Detroit Maiden IPA. It is a pretty solid IPA. I feel this beer is a work in process. I do not mean this in a negative light. Every good brewery is always looking to improve. I feel this brewmaster is still working to improve all the beer and WAB themselves is making it happen. They made a nice dry stout on nitro. They are a little bit ahead of most craft breweries. This is a solid stout and I rather drink this over Guinness. There is a nice cream ale with Raspberries. There is a Pale Ale. Both are pretty solid beers.

Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Twitter: @wabferndale

Closing, this brewpub is starting to move in a good direction. I know a few months back they loss their old brewmaster. I was wondering who would replace him. I have to say that I believe they picked the right guy. He is just starting his tour but I have to say people are already talking about WAB. I live on the west of Detroit. If I am in the Ferndale area, I will stop in and have a few IPA’s. The future is bright and I cannot wait to see what is up next. I recommend this brewpub. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

Closing, I am so done with Session IPA’s. I am not going to blog about them and sample them anymore. They are Pale Ales and that is that. No more marketing gimmick.

Metal it! \m/
