Knee Deep India Pale Ale
ABV%7.5 IBU:75
This year round brew from Knee Deep Brewing Company in San Jose, CA is new to the Charleston area. I picked up a bomber at Total Wine after trying a little bit last week. I poured it at fridge temp into a Sam Adams pint glass. The head didn't last forever but it left a nice lacing effect on the glass. The color was a cool copper with really good clarity.
The aroma of this brew was great. The combo of Cascade, Columbus, Magnum, and Chinook hops put off a piny floral scent that was really inviting. The subtle sweetness of the six malts that they used is almost mouth watering.
Finally, getting to the taste. At first you get a pretty complex sweetness that is then overwhelmed by the piny, spicy hop mixture. It's hard to pinpoint the hop that takes center stage. I'm willing to bet it's the Chinook, with high Alpha Acid Units that adding the bittering aftertaste, leaving you ready for the next drink.
Overall the hops keep the flavor anchored with the sweet malts trying to balance it all out. The full body of this beer coupled with the 7.5% ABV leaves you satisfied after 22 oz. It goes down silk smooth and after it warms up a bit the complex hoppiness really shines.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the next time I can try this or another of Knee Deep's brews.
Prost!

Got the Milk Stout from The Duck Rabbit. Pretty damn good. Medium mouth feel with a good dark flavor.

Sam Adams Third Voyage Batch No. 1
Welcome, beer lovers, to my blog. I hope to have a place where everyone who partakes of the bubbly libation can come to read about some of the less common, more adventurous brews being crafted here at home, across the nation, and around the world. I plan to keep you guys in the loop as I taste everything this sweet and hoppy goodness has to offer. I may even be drinking a few of my own brews here and there.
The first beer we have is The Boston Brewery's Sam Adams Third Voyage. This awesome double IPA is a light amber color with a pretty good reddish head. The idea they had in mind when brewing this one was to follow Captain James Cook on his 3rd voyage as he traveled from England to New Zealand to the Pacific Northwest. They pulled Cascade hops from each of the areas. The Cascade hop being used famously by craft brewers for both aroma and bittering, has a bright grapefruit flavor.
The guys in Boston did a great job of balancing the citrus flavor with some choice two-row Harrington, Metcalfe, and Copeland pale malts. So to get down to it, I thought this brew was pretty damn good. I chose to pour it from it's 22 oz. bottle into a Samuel Adams pint glass at fridge temp. It poured about a 2-3 inch head that was as beautiful a color as the beer itself. The aromas from the Cascade hops were intoxicating on their own. But I could still smell the sweetness from the malts, which had me excited for my first taste.
My first swallow was the old saying in a nutshell. First impressions last forever. It was certainly very hoppy while spicy and not just citrus like I had imagined. The malts were nice and sweet while not at all overbearing. It had a medium mouthfeel which was nice and left me feeling like I had a beer with some good body as well as the bright hoppiness. Overall a very good beer from a very good brewery.
I chose to drink this one with a beef pot roast my wife slow cooked all day. The mouthfeel and sweetness worked well with the meal and I would definitely try the pairing again.
So I hope this post will help to get you interested in trying some new beers. I hope you liked my review and feel free to leave a comment. Prost!
