Lost Reviews
I found during my last brew review that I referenced two different beers that I’ve tried, but failed to post a review of. I have no idea how that happened, considering I can remember sitting down and scratching out notes on both of them. Both the Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale and Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale are missing in action. Bummer since I have no desire to buy more Double Barrel and I’ll have to wait for the Celebration Ale to become available again.
In short summary:
Double Barrel Ale - Fat Tire on sterroids. Very biscuity, which just doesn’t suit me very well. Just not my style, but I’m sure Fat Tire lovers who are ready to step up a notch will love it.
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale - quite possibly the very best IPA I have tasted. It is crisp, clean, nice lingering bitter and fresh hops flavors - prinarily NW “C” hops from what I remember. I would travel to get more of it next holiday season if I had to.
Poor substitutes, but they’ll have to do for now.
By the way, I’ve stopped posting reviews of beers I just don’t feel right about reviewing. I’m not going to like a sour beer very much, so when I dig into one, I don’t feel I should be giving a public critique.
