Three more...

Three more beers to add to my quest for Flying Saucer immortality:

Wells Banana Bread was the first. Like I mentioned in my last beer update, this one was a keeper. I had it again this time to count toward my total. Smithwicks Ale (pronounced 'Smiddicks') was my second not the best of the three but decent enough. Brooklyn Monster was my third and was served in .

Wells Banana Bread
Container: Bottled
Style: English Ale

Brewer: Charles Wells Pub Co.

City: Bedfordshire, England

Country: United Kingdom

Desciption: Pours a clear amber body with a small creamy head. Aroma of "surprise" banana bread. Flavor of banana, mild hops, and nuts with citrus-peel bitterness in the finish.





Smithwicks Ale
Style: Amber Ale
Brewer: Guinness & Son Co.
City: Dublin
Country: Ireland
Description: This beer is imported from Dublin, Ireland & has been well sought after in the US. It is dark amberish red in color with a nice thick head. Very well rounded beer with some hops and roasty malts toward the finish.





Brooklyn Monster
Container: Bottled
Style: Barley Wine
Brewer: Brooklyn Brewery
City: Brooklyn, NY
Country: United States
Description: This classic Barley-Wine Style Ale, pours a deep copper color with a thin amber head. Aromas of apple, raisin bread, and a brief flourish of hops follow thru in the flavor with some bready and earthy malt notes. The high alcohol is hidden well in the lingering finish. It is vivacious when young, but will age gracefully for many years, becoming more complex over time. 10.8% abv.
