New Belgium Brewing
Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
6.2% abv
55 IBU
On the bottle, “…dark caramel roasted Midnight Wheat braced
with a serious load of Styrian Goldings, Centennial and Casade hops?”
Had this beer on tap at The Oven in Caro Michigan and
enjoyed it so much I almost stayed the night in the town just so I could drink
another one or two. Looking forward to
having it today while, I watch my Detroit Lions.
Can they beat a bad team in the Arizona Cardinals ... I doubt it ... but, I'll watch anyways.

Appearance: very dark brown body; hold it to the light and
you’ll see some mahogany highlights; super 2 finger light tan head that has
great staying power; just sheets of lacing hanging on the glass like a big old velvet
curtain.
Aroma: toasted grains/malts, hint of dark fruit, touch of
spice, light pine.
Flavors: deep roasted caramel malts, profound toasted grains,
and grassy bitter hops. Not all that
complex but, it sure is enjoyable.
Mouthfeel: nice moderate bitterness from start to finish, fine
fizzy carbonation, roasted notes and light-moderate bitterness linger on the
aftertaste, firm body, medium-full overall,
My Strength Rating: 6.5 – the hops kick it up notch (50
IBUs); deep roasted notes
To the Point: I really enjoyed this on tap and now I wish I bought
the twelve pack instead of the six pack.
I am waiting for my ‘Snow Day.’
Side note: the Detroit Loins lost ... of course.
My Black and Tan Hound Dog ... Annie
Rules, the Detroit Loins Suck
And she is a Judge ... see the wig
