Every so often, my Seattle-based brother Daniel will send me a box packed with some of the finest in West Coast beers. Since these beers are often available only in the Pacific Northwest, I particularly enjoy reviewing them because I so rarely get a chance to try them.
One of the ones he sent was a 5.2% ABV Belgian-style ale made by Fort George Brewery + Public House, located in Astoria, Oregon.
It looks like OJ - opaque, dark orange, coupled with a faint aroma of spices.
Taste-wise, I really enjoyed it. It has a very mellow tartness to it that balances nicely with the typical Belgian spice flavors. I like the smooth wheat and tasty spice flavors. Warm and smooth overall, with a refreshing citrus levity. I like Belgian beers , and the sessionability of this one really adds to my enjoyment. It's a beer I wouldn't mind drinking all night.
"Sip and Puff" is the personal blog of food & beverage writer James Liska. That's me! Since 2012, I've written about wine, beer, spirits, food, and restaurants. I focus on fundamental information, tasting notes, and overall thoughts rather than scores, harsh criticism, or arbitrary ratings. This supplements my other work such as writing for District Fray Magazine, creating cocktails, and posting more "everyday" stuff through my Instagram, @baconesque. Enjoy!
