EoS Discovery: Weyerbacher Quad
Sep. 6th, 2009 09:17 amAmong the many happy things at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roozle and sunspiral's famous End of Summer party was Weyerbacher Quad.
The good folks over at Beer Advocate gave this merely a B+, but this set of reviews contains several bad ones from people who were disappointed at Quad's lack of head (just barely carbonated), many sweet notes (not overly hopped), and very high alcoholic content (it's a Quad, fer Pete's sake!). If you consider these features, rather than bugs, you may find it as excellent as I did.
It is a very complex beer, with every sip giving different notes from different tastes. And you do want to sip this, as drinking it like a lawnmower beer will knock you flat very quickly. To emphasize the nose, use a tulip glass or even a wine glass. This will also make it easier to share one bottle with a friend or two (see the aforementioned "knock you flat").
This is brewed in Pennsylvania, and the party attendee who brought it obtained it in Troy NY. I will have to look around for a local provider.
