Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Russian River Brewing Company
Damnation Golden Ale. Much can be said (and has been said) about Russian River
Brewing Company’s beers. They rank among my favorite breweries.
From the Russian River Brewing company
website:” Inspired
pretty much by Duvel and other strong golden ales of Belgium. It is
medium-bodied, has a fruity/banana bouquet, and a dry, spicy finish.”
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden color with a thick white
head.
Aroma: Fruity, spicy, bananas, coriander, Belgian yeast and
malt. Heaven.
Taste: Balanced with an initial mild sweetness and flavors
that follow the nose. This truly is an
amazing golden ale.
Overall: As with other Russian River Brewing Company offerings,
Damnation Golden Ale is stellar. I feel
blessed to live close enough where getting this beer isn’t difficult. A must try for those who enjoy the
style. At 7% ABV a couple of bottles
will do well for an evening session.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
