Blacklist Brewing Or Del Belgique Verte

This is why I drink beer. Because, while most beer is good, every now and then you stumble on something wonderful. This Or de Belgique from Blacklist is amazing, This is a brewer out of Duluth, Minnesota where there are some truly great brewers. The smell of this beer is intoxicating, it hits the nose beautifully and all I wanted to do was drink it...which I did. It's a 9.5 on the Drinkenscale so be careful imbibing this too quickly. It's a strong Belgian golden that drinks so smooth. It leaves a hint of alcohol burn as it goes down, but it's nothing overpowering. This is an extremely drinkable beer with a high ABV and a very complex flavor. It's hoppy too! There's a lot going on here and my tongue liked all of it.

Leffe Blonde

Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to drink some beer.

Started my day off with this beauty right here

Leffe Blonds is a Belgian style blonde ale. Now, it saddens me a bit to learn that Leffe is owned by InBev but this is still a good beer, worthy of being enjoyed. It's an easy drinking beer that measures 6.6 on the drinkenscale. (That would be the ABV) I tasted some citrus and some spices in the mix.

It's really hard to go wrong with a Belgian Ale. Those monks know what they are doing.
