Spring sprung today with temps. in the middle 70's in the Big Apple. Parched throats yearn for some of those darker colored bolder ales to do their thing. Tonight, an ethnic newcomer home based in SF, California but brewed in upstate NY will take on Guinness' ale of renown. On we go!!!
He'Brew "Messian Bold" Ale: Color-Dark Brown Nose-Fruity First taste-Full mouth;intense Observations-Complex taste; lingers Fizziness-Medium head; active carbonation Where Brewed? Schmaltz Brewing in Saratoga Springs, NY Cost-Gift Type-Dark Brown Ale Saying-He'Brew The Chosen Beer Aftertaste-Some; positive staying power Rating-7.5
Smithwick's: Color-Amber; orange tint Nose-Caramel First taste-Bitterness Observations-Does not hold balance Fizziness-Frothy head; light carbonation Where Brewed? Guinness Brewing of Dublin, Ireland Cost-$1.33 per 12 ozs. Type-Irish Ale Saying- Brewery in Operation Since 1710 Aftertaste-Slight; not lasting Rating-6.25
AFTER THOUGHT-He'Brew surprises; Smithwick's better on tap!!!
