Beer of the Week

The beer: Bon Voyage

The brewery: Olde Mother Brewing Company, Frederick, Maryland

Description (from Untappd): "The flavor profile is a delightful blend of sweet malt, subtle spices, and hints of ripe fruit, offering a complex yet balanced taste. Each sip takes you on a journey, capturing the essence of Belgian brewing traditions with a touch of nostalgia from those memorable first sips in Brugge. Perfect for any occasion, Bon Voyage invites you to explore and enjoy the rich heritage of Belgian-style beers."

Would I buy it again? This beer is pretty complex for something relatively light, though at 6.7% ABV it's hardly a beer one would want to chug down. It's got some nice maltiness and fruitiness, and overall I liked drinking it. I didn't think it was revolutionary, but I'd buy it again. 

Except I probably won't. The name of this beer turns out to be unbelievably poetic, as Bon Voyage here represents the last beer I'll drink in Frederick for what will likely be a long time. In a week, I'll be moving to Philadelphia. After a decade in central Maryland, it's a big and exciting change of scenery. All new beers and all new golf courses, something which is sorely needed at this point.
