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.

Renewal for the New Year

Ninkasi Brewing from Eugene, Oregon is kicking off 2011 with a new red ale.

Here is what their label tells us….”A new year a new beer! Each year, Renewale will be something new and special to enjoy while winter runs its course. For 2011, we brewed a delicious Irish-style red ale that’s smooth and refined with a hint of toasted malt and a clean finish. A great beer for a new year, cheers!”
