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.

Thanks to Skyview for this hard to find beer. I was hoping for a Scotch, rather than a Scottish style ale. Malt in the aroma and flavor, along with an unprocessed grain flavor. A pleasant session beer.

bottle at Ft Wayne locals tasting - Pours hazy orange and smells of floral and citrus hops. The flavor is intensely hopped and is definitely a west coast style IPA. The hops profile is very nice, but I thought this one was kind of out of balance. It has a medium body and the expected bitter finish.

Bottle, 75cl. A slightly unclear, brown beer with a beige head. Dried fruits, sugar and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweet, with dried fruits, caramel, a yeasty, cellary touch, a hint of spices, and maybe a little alcohol. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice bitterness all the way. A really pleasant brune, pinning it’s Belgian inspiration nicely. (080811)

750ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown body with a nice beige head. Aroma is sweet malt, spicy, caramel, dry fruit and yeast. Complex and very promising aroma. Flavor lives up to the expectations, sweet (very Belgium), spicy , brown sugar, caramel, esters and this wonderful little touch of sourness/cellar notes. Fine malty body, and perfect balance between sweet, sour, bitterness and alcohol. Totally awesome!
