Fosters: Australian for "day-off"


Had a free day, took a drive to Evangola State Park for a round of frolf (frisbee golf) with my good friend Keegan McNichol. The beer of choice for outdoor exertion? Fosters' Ale and Lager 22oz cans... Surprising ammount of flavor for a macro- reminds me of a lighter yuengling, sweet, with a nice bite. Armed with a pair of Macanudo Robusto cigars, we made the most of our day off.

The Great Belgian Beer Quest!

Week 2: Ommegang Abbey Ale

Ommegang is located in Cooperstown, NY. Despite the great distance between the brewery and the country from which it draws its inspiration, Ommegang manages to transport the beer connoisseur deep into the heart of Belgium with their bold, flavorful brews.


Ommegang Abbey Ale is an excellent example of a classic Belgian dubbel. It pours a rich hazy red, with a light tan head. The aroma is a pungent blend of spicy, citrusy orange with sweet, ripe fruit and malt.

The flavor follows suit... full bodied, almost chewy ripe fruit flavors are well balanced with a spicy yeast finish.
