Summer, though it may not feel like it, is slowly coming to an end. This means that summer seasonal beers are on their way out at the fall seasonals are on their way in. I, for one, am not ready to admit that the seasonal change is upon us, so today I have the Southern Tier Farmer’s Tan Imperial Pale Lager, the summer seasonal of Southern Tier’s Imperial series.
Peter, the man behind the name Simply Beer and his eccentric, decadent Peanut Butter Porter, delivers again with a generous sample package. All seem enticing, but today I sampled his British Bitter (an English term for Pale Ale) at a mild, but not unusual for the style, 3.4% ABV.
Delirium Tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or neurological changes. With a name like that it’s got to be good, right? From Brouwerij Huyghe (don’t ask me for the pronunciation) in Belgium, their Tremens is a Belgian Pale Ale that sits at 8.5% ABV.
Brooklyn Brewery, in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, presents their Pennant Ale ‘55, named in honor of the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. At an expected 5% ABV, this brew is sessionable and perfect for a day of easy drinking.
We are back with another, yet totally different, brew from the Boulder Beer Company, the Sweaty Betty Blonde. If the name isn’t enticing enough, the label and style sure are. Heading further into Spring, this Pale Wheat Ale is moderately low in its ABV at 5.9%, making it sessionable and refreshing.
