Beer of the Week

The beer: Baba Black Lager

Brewed by: Uinta Brewing Company, Salt Lake City, Utah

Description (from the website): "This black lager has flavors of dark coffee, chocolate, and subtle wood smoke. Our black sheep’s color stands out and leads the herd in drinkability."

Would I buy it again?: I like black lagers, they're a style you don't see often enough. And this was an excellent example. It's like a lager, but heavier and darker (how about that). But at the same time, it's more drinkable than a stout of similar coloration. Definitely something I'd consider getting again. Also, I like the name quite a lot.

Beer of the Week

The beer: Golden Ale

Brewed by: Uinta Brewing Company, Salt Lake City, Utah

Description (from the website): "A year-round refresher, this golden ale is light bodied and crisp with a subtle sweetness."

Would I buy it again?: Probably not. It didn't taste bad, far from it, but it tasted exactly the same as pretty much every other easy-to-drink ale out there. And if I want one of those, I can go through a lot less effort to get one.
