Last one from my friends stash....Brown Ale

This one is a brown that everyone can enjoy.

Real Ale Rio Blanco Pale Ale

Again a Real Ale Brewing Company brew from my friend....pale ale to pair with some fish and green beans.

Smell/Look/Pour - Straw yellow/orange....smells like a lightly crisp hop, not overbearing...easy to pour

Taste - Malt is up front, but hops are much more tasty throughout...not too hoppy so a good choice for beginners.

Great beginner beer, a little plain but it's ok that way.

Real Ale Brewing Company Devil's Backbone Belgian Style Tripel

Another from Real Ale that my best bud brought me from TX.  I'm always down to drink a tasty Belgian Trippel, or any double, or any type for that matter.

Look/Smell/Taste - Honey malt, spiced w/ coriander and maybe cinamon; smells almost like a highly spiced wheat beer.  Unfiltered, a good amount of sediment.  Light sunny yellow w/ a lasting, frothy head.

Taste - Honey malt again, with the spices even more prominent on the aftertaste.  So are the hops, who come in around the end.  It's nicely carbonated which helps to alleviate the weight of the beer.

Rating - 10!!!!

It might seem like a stretch to give a Belgian Trippel from Blanco, TX a 9, but that's exactly why I'm giving it a 9.  It's perfect, and if you blindfolded a monk from Belgium I bet he couldn't tell this was brewed in Blanco, TX.  Cheers to Real Ale, try them out for sure.

Full Moon Pale Rye Ale

These beer is from Blanco, TX.  It was a gift from a great friend visiting PCB.  He is really into wine and I love beer, and so we trade our special finds when we can. 
Here's the quote from the back of the bottle;
"The Texas Hill Country is home to Real Ale Brewing Company, where a dedicated team of brewers produce quality handcrafted ales.  We incorporate the finest malted grain, domestic and imported hops, and crystal clear water into our unique, all-natural recipes.  For optimum flavor, our beers are unpasteurized and unfiltered - so remember to keep'em cold and drink'em soon!  Cheers!"

Look, Pour, Smell - Carbonation is evident, clear despite being unfilitered.  Orange, then yellow.  The rye is evident in the smell.  Strong and sweet smell.

Taste - The smell tended towards a strong alcoholic taste, but it is not evident in the taste.  The rye is very evident, which seems to lack in other rye ales.  Maybe a little citrus, but it's very understated.  It's an easy beer to drink, it's try is very full, but other than that this is a simple beer.

It's the best rye beer I've had so far.
