A special Imperial Amber Ale brewed in remembrance of a great grandmother. Late last month, Barbara Lanier gave up her ghost and the impact of her time here on Earth will not soon be forgotten by the many who loved her. A fiery Irish spirit who imparted deep values of dedication to family and love, “Ma” was certainly one of a kind. This beer mirrors her spirit with sharp, flavorful notes of resin, pine, and citrus, backed up by a rich caramel base and a medium body. A very special release and available for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend. Drink to honor “Ma” and reflect on those recently lost, but never to be forgotten. If not, you’ll get the paddle.

Growler via trade shared at the 42nd floor tasting. It pours murky deep reddish-amber with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is fresh, piney, resin, varnish, light spice, varnish, touch of dried berry and caramel. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, varnish, pine, light alcohol boost, some caramel, mild hop astringency, grapefruit and resin with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Well-rounded and highly drinkable. Didn’t quite blow my socks off, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
