New Belgium Tour De Fall Pale Ale

Still Cooking out here on the Left Coast, 100 degrees in the shade, as they say.  Not really ready for a Fall beer yet, but decided to take the plunge with the Autumn offering from the New Belgium folks.  This a Pale Ale.  Wait - I know you are thinking, like I was, a PALE ALE for Fall?  Not a Punkin or Oktoberfeast?  Those new Belgium lads know how to mix it up.  They are from Colorado, which recently changed some laws......

Not sure what they were roasting when they thought up this one, besides the Caramel, Chocolate Rye and Pale malts that went into the blend.  This one is malt forward and I'm liking that.  No Hop Bomb here!  There is a bit of a bite from the dry hopped Amarillo and Cascade hops, but the IBU count is just at 38, which pales in comparison to the some of the other Pale Ales out there (Dales @65 and Zombie Dust @ 60), but lines up with THE Amercian style Pale Ale (Sierra Nevada's 37 IBU).  With the malt forward style this one is a bit of a hybrid of the American and British style Pale Ale.  Quite an experiment, but this one is just not working any magic for me.  Highly drinkable and well made, a nice example of a Craft Beer is what this is.  Love the label though.

Cheers,

Jerry

Common Cider Company Hibiscus Saison

A hot afternoon out here on the Left Coast, perfect for a cool refreshing Cider.  This one is from the Common Cider Company of Auburn, California.  On the label they call it Drytown.  Really - a cider made in Drytown -- interesting.....

This cider pours a wonderful golden red color with the type of carbonation you see in a champagne - a small head that rapidly dissipates.  A nice stream of bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass as you work your way through the glass.  I've used a Champagne flute for the cider as ciders should be served in either a flute or a pilsner glass, but I thought the flute would show off the color of this Hibiscus Saison Cider well. Hibiscus - let's see that is a tropical flower that lends a sweet smell and a bit of red color to the cider.  The Saison element is mostly non-existent as you don't get the typical funky flavors that you get in a Saison beer. This one is a thirst quencher, but not as complex as I imagined.  One thing I do like - a low alcohol content (6.5%) that makes is easy to work your way through the 22 ounces.

Anchor California Lager

Holey Moley Batman, it is a hot one here on the left coast.  100 degrees in the shade, as the saying goes.  I've retreated to the cool, dark confines of the Pinhead Studios to play some pinball, listen to some tunes and have a nice refreshing brew. 

I've chosen a six pack of Anchor California Lager for the refreshment and this one is really nice.  Not a hop bomb, not even close.  Just a crisp and smooth lager that has a bit of some hop backbone.  This one is new to the lineup over at the historic Anchor Brewing site in San Francisco.  Added last year to the Anchor lineup, this one celebrates the first California Lager brewed up back in 1876 by the Boca Brewing company up in Truckee (where there was the ice needed for lagering).  Check the story link below.  If you are in the mood for a light refreshing summer beer that won't overpower you (4.9% alcohol - yes a "session beer") then I would highly recommend it.
