Justin
Beer: Dirty Bastard
Brewery: Founders
Style: Scotch Ale/ wee heavy
ABV: 8.0 %
IBUs: 50
Beer Advocate Score: 4.05
Brewery’s description:So good it’s almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish, with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain’t for the wee lads.
Christopher
Beer: Mosaic Promise
Brewery: Founder’s
Style: Pale Ale
ABV: 5.5 %
IBUs: 50
Beer Advocate Score:96
Brewery’s description:Mosaic Promise showcases two unique ingredients: Mosaic hops and Golden Promise malt. The versatility of the hop’s pleasing aroma and flavor characteristics and the traditional barley’s depth of flavor comprise this clean, rich, golden beer. We can brew complex beers with the best of them, but we recognize that there is also beauty in simplicity.
