Dan enjoys a celebratory beer from a recent haul: Strong Rope Brewery 10th Anniversary Golden Ale, with Vienna malt and Bell Captain hops.

STYLE: Blonde / Golden Ale – English
INGREDIENTS: Vienna Malt and Bell Captain hops
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)

Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd.

Beautiful gold in color with a white, foamy head and light lacing.

Lemon and honey sweetness leads, with some stony minerality coming in later.

Toasted breadsticks lead, with lemon/lemon verbena on the mid-palate, with a lovely saline note coming in later.

Lighter in body, crisp, and mouth-coating, with soft carbonation and mouthfeel.

Once again, I am happy to see this style being pushed into the ether. Pairing-wise, cheese was the obvious choice, but chicken satay or a bean dip might also be interesting.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
