New Arrivals For August 31, 2007

First off the truck is Sierra Nevada's Anniversary Ale. Brewed to celebrate their 27th year of producing some of America's most consistently delicious beer. Here's the official description:

Anniversary Ale is an American-style IPA featuring Cascade hops, the signature hop used in our Pale Ale. The beer has a pronounced pine and citrus hop aroma balanced by the sweetness of two-row pale and caramel malts. The result is an unusually well-balanced IPA that proves an IPA can be both assertive and elegant. Anniversary Ale is a medium-bodied, well-hopped ale that finishes with a slight malt sweetness.

I'm envisioning a SNPA on steriods, or maybe a cross between the Pale and Celebration. Either way, I can't wait to get home and try a bottle.

Next to arrive is Widmer's popular fall seasonal, Okto. It's smooth, it's malty, you know you want it. Widmer would like you to know the following:

The full body and malty flavor make Widmer Oktoberfest an ideal beverage for the Fall season. As the style dictates the hopping is delicate enough to allow the malty character to dominate, yet still provides a floral aroma and finish.
