#59 New Belgium - Blue Paddle
I recently picked up 6 different New Belgium beers from World Market in their loose beer section. I've always heard good things about New Belgium brewery and I am looking forward to my beers for the next 6 days.
This beer has a sweet lager smell with hints of lemons. Also in traditional lager fasion the beer is clear enough to read through with a yellow straw color. A nice head of foam is there ins the start of the beer, but it subsides after a few seconds.
This beer has a bitter flavor that is almost sour. I can taste a bit of sweetness, but mainly bitterness. This beer leaves my mouth dry for all the bitterness. The mouthfeel is pretty thin. My mouth is left with a dry unpleasant taste.
I'm not really crazy about this beer. I think the bitterness is too much, I would like something else in the flavor. For a lager is this is one of the more creative I've ever tasted.
