Last year, Sunset Beer Co. collaborated with Monkish on a 3rd anniversary beer. This year they stayed closer to home and enlisted Eagle Rock Brewery to help them celebrate year 4.
Here are my thoughts on the Morgan Marzen…
#1 on the taplist at the crowded bar that was 1/2 Dodger faithful and 1/2 beer geeks, the beer pours a bright and crystal clear orange with reddish tints. This beer is all about the malt lots of toasty grain notes in each sip. It is also sparkly on the tongue with a good dose of carbonation. There is a Germanic note of lager metallic on the back end but the next taste re-asserts the grain to the forefront. This is very much to style. No bells or whistles, just a simple reproduction of a classic beer. Plus the colorful label is another design win.
