Brews and Blues Beer and Smokin’ Blues

White Wolf Golden Ale

It sucks when I get really busy at work. I'm not sure why, but when those times come around, I tend to drink less beer rather than more.  I had a very long week and I didn't try any new beers at all.  So tonight, I'm having a White Wolf Golden Ale from Wolf Beer Company in Wilmington, North Carolina.  I picked up this bottle at the World Market as part of a mixed sixer a couple weeks ago, so I chilled it and gave it a pour.  As noted by the beer's name, it poured a very rich golden color with a thick foamy head.  The beer has a nice clean and crisp flavor with a light to medium body.  It has a delicious malty sweetness with what seems to be a mild taste and aroma of citrus.  I had never heard of this brewing company before, but since it's a North Carolina shop I had to give it a try and I'm glad I did. 

This isn't the ONLY beer I have had in the last week.  I'll have to admit that I had one last night as well.  I cracked the top on one of my Blone Ales that I brewed most recently.  I just wanted to see how it was progressing because I thought it might just be near ready, and I was right.  The flavor was fantastic.  The head and head retention were both up to snuff, but the carbonation hasn't quite finished up yet.  It's almost there, but it needs a little more time in the bottle.  Oh... I also had two sampler glasses of beer on Thursday from Starr Brewing during a tasting at Gail's Hops and Grapes.  I tried their Barvarian Hefe and their Stout.  The Hefe was really nice.  I can't quite comment on the stout yet.  I think I would need to work my way through a whole bottle of a beer like that to give any decent feedback on it.  It did have a very nice roasted flavor though...

Until next time...
