182 BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL

July 2, 2012 (Monday)
HUCKLEBERRY CREAM ALE
12 FLUID OUNCES., ALCOHOL 5.0% BY VOLUME
Brewed and Bottled by Laughing Dog Brewing, Ponderay, ID


FROM THE LABEL: "The huckleberry is native to the Pacific Northwest and it is prized for its sweetness and texture. To celebrate summer and the huckleberry picking season, we have blended real huckleberries from last season with our cream ale.
Smooth and creamy with a light touch of huckleberries, Huckleberry-Cream ale would be great at the lake, a BBQ or simply just relaxing away a long summer day.
Just like the berries, our Huckleberry-Crème Ale will be here for your enjoyment for a limited time, available during the summer months. You never know when it will be gone until next year."

FROM THE MOUTH:FRUIT BEER: You really have to be from the Pacific Northwest to know what Huckleberries taste like and understand their popularity. I personally don't really care for the berry- being from the midwest my preference is the big blueberry. But that does not mean that this is not a tasty beer; it is pretty straight forward- watery huckberry flavor swimming around in a hopless ale. Not found of the way it ends...sort of like when you get grease from the grill on your hands - you know that grease I am talking about- the stuff that won't come off without a scrubby, that is what this is doing to my mouth- not the grease but this dry eraser feeling.

FROM THE STORE: Huckleberry's- of course!
