First and foremost, please forgive any serious typos in this post. I am posting from my phone, which is notorious for correcting me at unnecessary moments. Anyways, I am back in NY once more to celebrate another wedding. Though I will certainly be grabbing some more beers from Ithaca Brewing Company while in town, tonight I enjoyed New Belgium+ Red Rock's Paardebloem.
If you have had a beer brewed with dandelions before, you know there is only one good word to describe them: refreshing. Poured into your every day pint glass, this beer was a hazy gold with a very thin head that quickly dissipated. On the nose are sweet wheat notes. These notes follow through on the taste, accompanied by that unique fresh taste that dandelions give a beer. The most surprising thing about this beer is its strength. Don't be fooled by its light, fresh flavor; this bad boy weighs in at 9%ABV! It does an incredible job at making its alcohol content. If you are looking to break a friend into the world of craft beer, you could certainly do worse than Paardebloem. Its fresh, light taste should be universally enjoyed, and will show fans of light beers that there are better options out there.
