Dogfish Head Festina Peche

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Years ago, Mandy and I went to a Dogfish Head brewpub in the suburbs in Maryland. We got some beer and realllly mediocre food. At one point, we ordered a larger bottle to split, and I think it may have been Festina Peche. At the time, we thought it was absolutely disgusting.

This actually smells pretty good. It doesn't taste repulsive. Its a little tart, and definitely peachy (sort of like a gummy-peachy-o). If you think your beer has been missing a peach candy flavor with some added tartness, this beer is for you.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts
[Take a sip. Looks absolutely repulsed. Sticks her tongue out in disgust.]

Ithaca Ground Break

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Found at a little liquor store that I usually don't go to. Turns out they have a few out of market beers. They had a few from Ithaca (Flower Power, Caskzilla and this) and some Lost Abbey beers too.

It was a few months past its "best by" date but I figured a saison should be okay if it just came out in January or February.

The smell is a little off, but it tastes alright. Not spectacular, not terrible.

Roanoke Railhouse - Track 1

Thanks to the Newtster for providing this brew.

Reminds me slightly of Dead Guy Ale. Not bad.

Pretty sweet. Reminiscent of a Red Oak.

DuClaw Naked Fish

It really does taste like raspberries. That's actually a good thing. Its not a hint of raspberries, its a shit ton.

A pretty tasty dessert beer.
