Review – Permafrost from Burnside Brewery

IMG_7380

Though L.A. is in zero need for a winter warmer, I really wanted to try the NW version from Burnside Brewing, and Permafrost pours a hazy and muddled dark orange color. First sip is effervescent but soon settles into a heartier ale. The aroma is dark citrus with malt notes. A bright hit of alcohol also pops in and out. A dark bitterness takes root at the end.  This is the 3rd beer that I have tried from my Christmas beer purchases and though it doesn’t reach the heights of the GoodLife or SixPoint.  It continues the trend of great beers.

The Details
“This is Burnside Brewing Co.’s first winter elixir. It’s a big strong ale brewed with 7 different malts and copious amounts of Columbia and Amarillo hops pillowed in the middle to give this warming brew a chewy complex malt body and a unique fruity juicy hoppiness throughout. You wont want to sip this dangerously strong and tasty beer like you should but pound it . 8.3% abv 77.4 IBU”
