Stone Pale?

Nope. It is part of their 20th Anniversary Encore Series.

Bingo. You're up!

How was that beer? I was thinking about buying it last time I was at the bottle shop but ended up passing on it.

I wanted to like it more than I did. It was definitely good, but it tasted more like just a simple peppery belgian to me than it did like the belgian IPA they make it out to be.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Here we go. Beer and brewery please

 

[TheCADJockey]

Blue Moon Belgian White

 

[hanuswalrus]

If it's a seven year old IPA then I'm not surprised if it lost some flavor by now.

Its a rerelease of the original. It was bottled in late september. So it is quite fresh. The description just says it is strongly hopped with American hops so I was expecting a little more character from them. As just a belgian style brew it was pretty good. Had a nice peppery kick to it. I was just expecting a little more from the hops.

 

[MrFeltimo]

Is it in the pale ale family?

 

[hanuswalrus]

It is not in the pale ale family.

 

[BigMack]

Victory Prima Pils?

 

[drainbamage]

FFF Gumballhead (and Cheddar cheese hamburger patties )

 

[bragona71]

Let's start by narrowing down the location. West coast brewery?

 

[bragona71]

Oh yeah.whats up fellas!! Good to be back. Been a while since I played

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not Gumballhead, not Prima Pils, not a west coast brewery. Hi @bragona71

 

[MrFeltimo]

Was it brewed in the US?

 

[hanuswalrus]

It is brewed in the US, but the style is not American

 

[Zekk]

Is it a Belgian style?

 

[Psylocide]

Is it in proper glassware?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not a Belgian. Yes, pretty sure it's proper glassware.

 

[BigMack]

Firestone Pils

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope

 

[Brauer]

Gordon Biersch Czech style pilsner

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope. This beer is not local to me. Found it at a bottle shop when I visited Vermont last month

 

[MrFeltimo]

So is it a Vermont brewery?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not quite. Distributed in VT, but the brewery is in a neighboring state.

 

[bragona71]

Beach haus

 

[BigMack]

Is it a pilsner?

 

[drainbamage]

SA Noble Pils

 

[cjones]

2-State Berry Nectar Ale - from Beara Irish brewing. - head on beer makes me think wheat

 

[BigMack]

The suspense is killing me...

 

[cjones]

Glad I am not holding my breath....

 

[hanuswalrus]

Sorry guys, I rarely check the forums on weekends. Nobody's guessed it yet. Not a Pils, but the style isn't far off from a Pils. BA calls it one style and RB calls it another.

Is it a Helles?

 

[hanuswalrus]

BA claims that is the style, yes. But RB claims it is another style. The label on the beer itself seems to side with RB
