Beer of the Week

The beer: Apple Pie Blonde Ale

Brewed by: Flying Dog Brewery, Frederick, Maryland

Description (from the website): "Nothing is more American than Apple Pie, right? Well, hold my beer. Literally. We might not have invented beer or pie, but we sure as hell perfected both. 100 times more fun than paying to pick apples on an autumn day, this crisp, spiced brew is perfect for F.A.L.L. in the U.S.A."

Would I buy it again?: This is a beer to drink at Thanksgiving if ever there was one. You can taste the apples and the cinnamon, but it's not as bold a beer as you might think. This is a blonde ale after all, not a triple IPA or heavy stout. I was surprised at how subtle the beer was, considering it's one of Flying Dog's Brewhouse Rarities and the high alcohol content (7.2%). I hope they make it again next fall, and if I go beer shopping again soon, I'll consider getting another six pack of this if it's still around.
