On Tap
Beer reviews may be a little slow around here for a while Why? Because I have a kegerator full of Guinness goodness up and running.
One of our neighbors recently moved to France and left their kegerator with me for the next three years. They dropped it off before we left for the holidays, but I wasn't able to get a keg until Friday since they only deliver kegs once a week. I managed to not screw up the connection of the gas lines and tapped it without spraying beer all over myself as well. My only slipup was forgetting to open the valve, but I quickly figured that out when the beer slowed to a trickly. Once I opened the valve, the beer flowed freely.
I can't imagine what this setup cost, but I figure I have three years to start saving up. It's going to be a hard habit to break.
Goose Island Matilda
Thanks to Pete and Suzy for the contribution.
Hazy pale orange, good sized head.
Kind of a funky aroma, but also malty, like when I home brew.
There's actually a good bit of sweetness that took me a while to pick up, perhaps it just didn't go well with dinner. But that (tropical?) fruitiness is quickly overtaken by a strong bitter hop flavor, which then yields to crisp finish.
Overall rating: 4.25
