To Clarify an Earlier Position

In a recent post, I reviewed a northwestern US beer produced in Montana called Moose Drool. In that post, I spoke of the extreme drinkability of said brew, at least from the perspective of a guy who generally prefers darker beers.

To get to the point without much delay, Moose Drool is still a very good beer. If it's from a bottle. On tap, it's a crap shoot.

Just yesterday, I finally had Moose Drool from a tap. All of my previous experiences had been with the bottled version. Unfortunately, the kegged version seemed to be lacking something. I can't explain it. Perhaps it was an old keg, but doubtful considering its popularity in these parts. Perhaps it was the plastic cup I was drinking from (there was a hoedown and festival on Main St. and people were partaking of beverages outdoors, seriously). Perhaps it was just me.

So, when we got home, I had to test to see if it was just me. Maybe I ate something that busted my tastebuds. But no, the bottled stuff was still good.

Brown ale not quite dark enough to be a porter. Just enough hops to balance sweetness to make it perfect with burgers or pizza.
