First, the Firestone Walker Double Jack IPA. Smells like a good and bitey IPA which doesn’t disappoint. It doesn’t particularly stand out, but that might be because I love IPAs and I have them all the time. It has a nice malty undertone which mellows out the beer from being overly hoppy. I am told this is Firestone’s first Imperial IPA. It drinks smooth for being 9.5% ABV which makes it a very nice treat for a weeknight. The color is a nice middle gold with a white head, which dissipates quickly when swirled around due to the high ABV. I think I detect a hint of tangerine in there? I would definitely drink this again, and again and again.
Secondly, I love me some Rouge beer. Thirdly, I heard that they also make whiskey which my boyfriend Sean was so excited to see when we were visiting my sister in Seattle. Turns out, they make Rouge Dead Guy Whisky which obviously comes from the Rouge Dead Guy Ale that they make. It won an award in 2008, which explains why it’s so good. Ok, back to the beer. The Juniper Pale Ale is milder pale ale which has 5.2%ABV with a nice light gold color that is foggy with goodness. The beer obviously has Juniper Berries in it, but it’s not over-powering. It’s nicely carbonated with a light finish of slight-hoppyness. It’s an easy-to-drink beer with personality.
