Beer Brief #5 - New Belgium Kick


Brewery - New Belgium Brewing Company, Fort Collins, Colorado

Beer - Kick

Style - Blended Fruit Beer (75% ale brewed with pumpkins and cranberries, 25% ale aged in wood barrels)

ABV - 8.5%

Color - Orange side of gold with a white head

Aroma - Tart cranberries

Flavor - Brief sweet malt with pumpkin undertone, dominant cranberries, slightly sour

Verdict - Not at all what I expected, the cranberries are the star of this brew. Surprisingly light and refreshing with only some alcohol warmth in my throat indicating the strength. It's really tasty!
