Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is North Coast Brewing Company
Anniversary XXV Ale - Belgian Inspired Session Ale.
From the North Coast Brewing Company website:
“In anticipation of long nights of celebration with the many friends we’ve made
over the last 25 years, the brewers of North Coast have created a Belgian
inspired session beer designed to promote a festive mood while minimizing the
consequences of overindulgence.
Brewed with pale malts and fermented with the same yeast
strain used to make Le Merle, our Twenty-fifth Anniversary Ale is sharp and
spritzy with a delicious flowery, spicy dry-hop aroma.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a bright, but slightly hazy straw color with a frothy white head and lots of
lacing.
Aroma: Clean and
crisp, slightly sour, Belgian yeast, apple, pear, lemon, pale malts and grainy.
Taste: Sweet,
bready malts and grains, Belgian yeast, mild citrus, pear, pepper, slight
mineral and caramel notes.
Overall: Refreshing
and light, North Coast Brewing Company Anniversary XXV Ale is delicious. I’m very happy I got to pick this 4% ABV bottle
up at the brewery when I was in Fort Bragg.
I wish I had picked up another bottle.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
