Nate's Beer #14


So for my beer last night I had a Hair of the Dog Rose. Hair of the dog is a Portland brewery that makes beers that are somewhat unusual. Rose is no different. Rose is named for Portland, Oregon, the Rose City. She is inspired by the Belgian style known as Tripple. Rose is low in hops, pale in color and deceivingly light in body for its alcohol strength. Through the use of Belgian candi sugar and honey malts this beer achieves a fruity or floral character. It has 8% alcohol by volume.
Overall I thought it was an alright beer. I personally preferred Fred a whole lot more. I think this weekend though will have to include a trip to the 9th ave brewery for some new brews.
