As phase 2 of the pandemic continues to escalate, the small pleasures in life feel all the more impactful. Another trip to the best-stocked beer supplier in the neighborhood yielded another handful of interesting brews that Leah and I sampled over the course of a couple weeks.
Here are some shots of the non-repeat beers we purchased, along with my notes from Untappd.
Harlem Hops
2268 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, New York, NY
Fest Bier
Festbier
Interboro Spirits & Ales
3.5 / 5
A good, easy to drink beer. Mild bitterness and sweetness with very subtle spice notes. Clear amber color. Great all round no frills beer.
You're Never Too Old For Ice Cream Cake
Pastry Stout
Kills Boro Brewing Company
4.0 / 5
A serious dessert beer. Very sweet with chocolatey flavor and a hint of marshmallow. Thick and dark with almost no head. The sweetness borders on cloying, but if dessert is what you want, this is it.
Banana Fluffernutter
Brix City Brewing
New England IPA
3.5 / 5
Strong peanut butter aroma but almost none of that in the flavor. Sweet and creamy but with a drying mouth feel after swallowing. Mild banana flavor. Very minor bitterness for an IPA. Overall tasty but much less interesting than the name suggests.
Cadence
Helles Lager
Hudson Valley Brewer
3.75 / 5
A nice, crisp easy-drinking beer with just a hint of something interesting which I'd call malt. Light without being watery. Refreshing and goes down fast.
Marshmallow Drip
Pastry Stout
Finback Brewery
4.25 / 5
Strong vanilla sweetness combines with bitter coffee to mimic the flavor of burnt marshmallow. Very thick, oily viscosity with no head. Pronounced peanut butter cup aroma and taste, as well as an unusual hint of raspberry jam.
