Now I have had this beer on tap on a number of occasions at the Eagle Rock taproom but this is the first time from the bottle. So it made sense to review it anew to see if my taste had changed and to see if I had any new insights.
To start here is the old review:
“Eagle Rock really hits the mild side and I don’t mean that negatively. They know how to brew a really nice and bright beer. This new one is no different. Light touch of Belgian yeast with a bit of spice and bit of hops. You get a nice hit of all three without one overpowering the other.”
And now the bottle review, Pours a lovely orange color. Getting slight notes of nutmeg and cinnamon first followed by a dash of hops. Still a pretty bright beer. The spices linger past any other notes. A little bit of banana as well. All light touches. Nothing huge but a nice melange of flavors.
Thieves of Baghdad is the current book that I am working on. I started the Wet and the Dry but was turned off by the writer/narrator/tour guide. So I started this book about the investigation into the loss of antiquities during the Iraq War. The writer/narrator/tour guide of this book and I would have nothing in common but he is engaging and erudite. Plus it is the current Linfield College Common Read selection. And as a loyal Wildcat, I am obliged to read it.
