Invocation is a Belgian style golden ale by Wild Heaven Brewery out of Decatur, GA. The first thing you’ll notice when pouring Invocation into your favorite vessel is the thick, rich head that seems to hang around forever. Seriously, I had time to photograph this brew, process the photos, even do my taxes – and [...]
Abita is home to two of my favorite brews – Turbodog and Purple Haze, both worthwhile beers in their own right. All the Abita brews that I’ve had the pleasure to try have been mild and not overpowering, yet flavorful and instantly recognizable. Amber Lager is no exception. The color is a surprisingly clear yet [...]
Tonight I’m popping the top on Peak Organic’s Simcoe Spring Ale. I was completely unfamiliar with this brewery when I saw it in my local grocer’s shelf, and being that I’ve never tried “organic beer” (isn’t ALL beer organic), I decided to add it to my “build-your-own-six-pack”. One whiff lets you know this is going [...]
Howdy fellow hop-heads, today I’m popping the top on Left Hand Brewing’s Sawtooth Ale. This is a really nice brew with a well-rounded flavor, so let’s dive in. When you first pour Sawtooth Ale into your favorite vessel, you’re greeted with a nice tight foamy head that wouldn’t be out of place on a stout [...]
Today we’re going to take a look at Dundee’s Summer Wheat Beer. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Hefeweizens, so when I saw this “crisp and cloudy” brew in my grocery store’s BYOSP (Build Your Own Six-Pack), I snatched it up. I mean, it even had Hefeweizen on the label. I’m glad I [...]
Somersault is a summer ale by New Belgium Brewery that rates pretty high on my drinkability scale. Anyone who’s read my reviews already knows I’m not a fan of overly hoppy beers. Somersault, however, contains the perfect amount of hops. Just enough bitterness to counteract the lemon and apricot also present. Somersault starts out just [...]
The correct pronunciation of the word “pecan” is a great debate among Southerners. Some say “pee-can” while others say “pe-conn”. Whichever pronunciation you favor, its almost guaranteed the argument doesn’t even come up when you’re discussing beer. As far as I know, Southern Pecan from Lazy Magnolia Brewery is the only beer brewed with [...]
When many breweries are presenting light-colored (and flavored) wheat beers for summer, Magic Hat went a different way with their Wacko summer seasonal. Wacko is a beet-colored beer, not entirely transparent, but still quite light. When poured, it forms a 1/2″ thick head that sticks around for a minute or so, settling into a ring [...]
I rarely like doing reviews from memory, but I sampled a beer over the weekend that I had to share with iGirls readers, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to find this brew in my local stores as of yet. I was at my favorite Cajun place and the waitress (who knows my taste in [...]
Aroma: This brew smelled mildly spicy when first poured, then lost most of it’s nose after sitting in the glass a minute or so. Appearance: Very clear, attractive mahogany red ale color. Foam was relatively sparse, but quickly formed a thin off-white coating on the top of the brew, and a ring that follows the [...]
