Smoke 'n' Apples

Beer: Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen
ABV: 5.20%
Home: Bamberg, Germany

I love how this beer smells like clothes after a night at a beach bonfire. Pours a translucent amber with a huge foam head. Interesting because it's a fairly light-bodied wheat beer brewed with a smoked malt. This beer is my third Bamberg smoked variety and I think this one's the best. I'd recommend trying this beer on a cooler day with some smoked meat - really good!


Beer: Floris Apple
ABV: 3.60%
Home: Melle, Belgium

In a completely different direction, but still keeping in the spirit of Fall, I ordered this apple wheat brew by the brewery that makes Delirium. It pours hazy golden with a small, short-lived head. Smells strongly of green apples! It tastes both sweet and sour like an apple-flavored soda. A nice dessert!


The bar manager thought it would be hilarious to tell us that the bar is moving... to Lynn. I was ready to have a meltdown right there when he laughed at our reaction and told us they were just moving into a recently vacated space a block down the road. Sometime next year. Nice, it'll be closer to our place!
