Sean Suggests for September 2015

header_beer_shopping_list
Screw the pumpkin beer! It is my new motto in this monthly shopping post. But, you may argue, the medium choice is a Halloween beer. Am I contradicting myself? Nope, because AleSmith beers are best really fresh and their haunting offering is no different. Get it now rather than later.

~LIGHT
Bell’s/ Best Brown Ale 5.8% ABV
“A smooth, toasty brown ale, Best Brown Ale is a mainstay in our fall lineup. With hints of caramel and cocoa, the malt body has the depth to stand up to cool weather, but does not come across as heavy. This balancing act is aided by the generous use of American hops.”

~MEDIUM
AleSmith/ Evil Dead Red 6.66% ABV
“Each Halloween we release this special concoction to celebrate one of our favorite holidays. Deep blood-red in color, an intense aroma of pine and citrus from an abundance of American hops balances the sweetness and rich, bready flavors of this beer’s caramel malts. The result is a fiendishly smooth brew that will make your taste buds scream with delight.”

~DARK
Green Flash/ Green Bullet 10.1% ABV
“With the aim of finding new and unique ingredients, we honed in on New Zealand grown Pacific Gem and Green Bullet hops to create this adventurous Triple IPA. Green Bullet leaps onto your palate with bold, spicy pine and citrus flavors including tropical notes of mango and pineapple. The aggressive yet well-balanced finish will stun the senses of even the most skilled hop hunter.”
