Back to Silver Gull Beach Club to open our cabana for the '08 season. While eating lunch I will do a quick tasting to launch the season. It will pit a Magic Hat entry vs. an old friend from Sierra Nevada. Let's go!!!
Magic Hat Hocus Pocus: Color-Amber Nose-Of cloves First Taste-Full mouth Observations-Good Flavor Where Brewed? So. Burlington, Vt. Alc# 4.5% Fizziness-Rim head; minimal carbonation Aftertaste-Pleasant Rating-7
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale: Color-Amber Nose-Hoppy First Taste-Very Crispy Observations-Grapefruit; bitter Where brewed? Chico, Cal. Alc# 6.8% Fizziness-Slight head; mild bubbles Aftertaste-Bitterness remains Rating-8
FINAL THOUGHT- Two stalwarts did well; Celebrations' hoppiness won out!!!
