New beer on draught
(coming throughout the month)
Saint Arnold Spring Bock - "An authentic, German-style
Bock, celebrating the coming of spring. This strong, deeply flavored lager
has been aged to create a smooth, malty taste with a hint of sweetness. A
light addition of German hops balances the malt flavor."
Original Gravity: 1.064 (16.3° Plato)
Color: Copper
Bitterness: 24 IBU

Widmer W'10 Pitch Black IPA - "Our Brewmasters' Release - Pitch Black
IPA is a Pacific Northwest twisted tribute to an IPA style of beer. It
is almost a traditional IPA but it is instead brewed to the emerging style
of Cascadian Dark. We add a modest amount of a specially made debittered
black malt to give this IPA a very dark color but without the characteristic
dark malt flavors. Pitch Black IPA is hopped generously in the brewhouse
and then again later during the dry hopping process. Hopheads of the world
will certainly enjoy this dark version of IPA, as will beer drinkers looking
for something new and experimental to fill their pint glass."

New Belgium Ranger IPA - "Ever met a New Belgium Beer Ranger? They
are our beloved folks out in the field. Spanning all 26 of our states from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, our Beer Rangers do their best to protect,
to pour and to partake. And explore many a beer from many a brewery, they
do. The fellows up in the Northwest kept calling for “more hops!” Soon
it became a common theme across the land. Rangers, fans and craft lovers
everywhere were searching for hoppier beers.
So, here it finally is – New Belgium’s foray into the true
American India Pale Ales. Bring out the hops! This clear amber beauty bursts
at the starting gate with an abundance of hops: Cascade (citrus), Chinook
(floral/citrus), and Simcoe (fruity) lead off the beer, with Cascade added
again for an intense dry hop flavor. Brewed with pale and dark caramel
malts that harmonize the hop flavor from start to finish, Ranger is a sessionable
splendor for all you hopinistas. Thank your Beer Ranger!"

Samuel Adams Noble Pils (Label neck description) - “Samuel Adams
Noble Pils is one of the only brews made with all five Noble hops from
the world’s growing regions. It's bright flavor and lively, citrus
hop character reminds us that the warm days of spring are just a few weeks
away.”
http://beernews.org/tag/samuel-adams-noble-pils/
Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale - "A classic American pale ale, Mirror
Pond Pale Ale uses generous quantities of Cascade hops, offering a lush
floral aroma with a balanced malt body."
http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/Brews/default.aspx
Franconia Kolsch - "Although it is straw yellow in color, this is
an ale with a light pale malt flavor, a slight nutty taste, dry with just
a tiny hop bite. It is clean and easy to drink."
http://www.examiner.com/x-3242-Dallas-Craft-Beer-Examiner~y2009m5d25-A-twofer-review-of-new-Franconia-beers
Real Ale ESB - "pours a deep copper color and has an enticing aroma
of fruit and caramel, with a subtle earthiness. A medium-bodied ale, our
ESB showcases the fruitiness of our house yeast, along with the rich toffee
flavors of English crystal malt. Added complexity is provided by a generous
amount of English hops. Real Ale ESB finishes slightly dry with a mild
spiciness that beckons another pint.
ABV: 5.5%, IBU: 40, OG(plato)"
http://www.realalebrewing.com/beer_styles.php
Redhook ESB - "is modeled after the premium Extra Special Bitters
found in English pubs. Brewed since 1987, this full-bodied amber ale is
Redhook's signature brew with its toasted malt flavor and pleasant finishing
sweetness. Its eminently drinkable style has established Redhook ESB as
a benchmark brew in the amber ale category. The well-rounded finish of
Redhook ESB makes it a wonderful companion to grilled meats. It is also
great with grilled meats, game and cheeses."

New beer in a bottle (coming throughout the month)
Great
Divide Old Ruffian - "is a hefty, hop-forward Barley Wine-
Style Ale. Seemingly mellow at the start with subtle fruit aromas and complex
caramel sweetness, it quickly becomes aggressive with its bold hop flavors
and huge hop bitterness. Ultimately, the big body, succulent sweetness
and massive hop character come together to work wonders on your palate.
10.2% ABV"
http://www.greatdivide.com/#/beer
Real Ale Sisyphus Barleywine Ale - "Intense and warming, Sisyphus
was Real Ale's first seasonal product. A healthy portion of hops balances
the rich toffee undertones of the malt. Weighing in around 11% ABV, Sisyphus
Barleywine is not for the faint of heart - makes a great nightcap! ABV:
10 - 11%, IBU: 77, OG(plato): 24"
