Blue Point Winter Ale

American Amber Ale

Blue Point, Patchogue, New York, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 89

RELEASE: November // THE ABV. 5.3% | IBU’s. 30 // THE NOSE: Sage, Basil, Petrol, Almond, Cantaloupe Melon, Coffee Ice Cream, Bourbon, Puppy Pee // THE TASTE: Juicy Sirloin, Blood Orange, Guava, Papaya, Black Cherry, Cinnamon Stick // THE BOTTOMLINE: This enjoyable Long Island cold weather seasonal arrives with just a pinch of dried spice jar heat and lots of juicy dark red and splashy tropical fruit flavors. A rolling bittersweet 'fructosey' fueled dryness in the rear powers this fairly bombastic little winter drink to a happy close. // THE BACKBONE: Pale, Vienna, Crystal and Chocolate Malts // PRICE POINT: $10 | 6x 12oz bottles //
