God love the folks at Full Sail. Everything they do tastes great. This Wassail winter brew is a real biggin: it’s 6.5% ABV, robust flavored, offering a little mocha, cinnamon, coriander…Goodness. This is one big brown beer that grows tastier and tastier as it warms. Eat up! (Rating: Very Good)
The Half Pipe Porter is also grand. It’s a nearly black, fat headed brew. As with the Wassail, let it warm and breath a bit and you will be rewarded: soft smoke, chocolate…Yet it is not a huge, mouth blowing ale. Dare we say that it is delicate and restrained? Regardless- do try this one. (Rating: Very Good) For more information about Full Sail beers, surf to http://www.FullSail.com.
As for this Rogue brew, well….
This brew is a beauty. Looks like a nutbrown when poured into a glass. It is malty, sweet, full-flavored, and full bodied. It’s an under 75 degrees Farenheit weather sort of brew that closes softly with delicious Cascade and Kent Golding hops. Yum.
