Their IPA ranks among my favorites and their Big Bottle Series present some great beers at even greater prices. Seek out their Imperial Stout.

I've been meaning to make it out to Rustico anyways, now I have an excuse! 'Bout time I check out one of NoVA's better beer bars. I assume this means logoed pint glasses will be given out, correct?

ManekiNeko Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Picked up Smuttynose's Hanami Ale on a whim at Arrowine last night, mostly because the label is so dang kawai >^o^<. Brewed for springtime, this is obviously the perfect beer for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Why no local brewers thought of something like this earlier is beyond me. It's basically a Belgian-style pale ale with cherry juice added to it. Don't serve it too cold or there's an overly tannic, almost metallic twang on the first sip. Otherwise, there's a lovely tart cherry flavor (I'm talking real cherry flavor here, not Luden's cough drops) balanced by a beer something not quite unlike a weaker (in abv) Delirium Tremens. Crisp and refreshing, but with enough oomph to it that it should take the edge off a crisp spring afternoon (or morning if you're a lush). ETA: forgot which store I bought the beer at. ~$9 a 6-pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Riley Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 We just picked up that Smuttynose Hanami today. We also just got in the Dogfish Head "Red & White" (in 1 pint, 9.6fl. oz. bottles). It is, "Malt beverage brewed with coriander & orange peel with pinot noir juice concentrate added with 11% aged in pinot noir barrels and 89% aged on oak barrel staves". Other new beer additions this week are the Sam Adams White Ale, the Ringwood "Old Thumper" and Reisdorf Kölsch. Our allocation of Bells "Hop Slam" came and went, but we hope to try and get more when/if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
