Spanish Peaks Brewing Co.’s Summer White Belgian Style White Ale is a very citrus-y tasting beer. From the same people who brings us Black Dog Ale, it is kind of sour, but very easy-drinking. I liked it.

Harp Lager

The other new beer I tried this weekend was Harp Lager. There’s a good description of it on this blog page. I had the impression that it was a very decent and respectable beer. Full-bodied and a good flavor, but not especially adventurous. I’d probably choose it as an “old standby.”

Schlafly Hefeweizen Ale

I really hate to criticize beer, but I was completely unimpressed with Schlafly’s wheat beer, which they call a Hefeweizen Ale. Well, which is it? I tried it at a local pub, and what I experienced was much more like a watered-down lager than either a hefeweizen or an ale. In good conscience, I just can’t give this one my stamp of approval.
