I’ve had these sitting around for a bit now, popped this open nearly two months back now but never got around to posting any pictures. Don’t recall much about the beer, it didn’t necessarily wow me but it had those complexities and characteristics that I appreciate in a barleywine and it certainly gains depth …
Picked up the new Belgian style summer release from Pelican Brewery – Winema Wit. It’s never a hard sell when a good Oregon brewery has a bomber for $4 but when you throw in the description “Traditionally Spice Belgian-Style Wit Beer with Orange Peel, Coriander and Cardamom.” I am all over it.
