Description
Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in Pacific City in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. And now twenty years later, older, and wiser, Pelican Brewing Company is a craft beer industry leader with fans throughout the Northwest and around the world. Today we’ve taken our breweries and our values to other Oregon coastal towns where we wake up each day in a place that reminds us that amazing is possible. Cheers fellow fanatics. This is as good as it gets.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato da orzo tostato e caffè.. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone scuro resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La parte liquida è di colore scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato pesante. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo persistente. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, agrumi e caldo.

Dark brown, no head. Figgy, dates, big dried fruit goodness, alcohol, toffeeish malt, lots of bitterness, big treacly balance. Really one of my favourite barley wines.
