Lov Beer

Beer, I love it and after spending the last couple years following great blogs in the Bay Area I have decided to join the club. I have been passionate about beer for years, worked as an assistant brewer and sales rep for a local brewery. I have had more than my share of glasses and have even traveled to Germany, Ireland, England and of course Belgium to enjoy the local flavors. I hope to discuss new beers coming out, cooking, homebrewing and everything beer. Any feedback is appreciated.

Beer Review: Sierra Nevada Tumbler Brown

I found a six pack of this at Trader Joe's in Queen Anne. This is a seasonal brown I have never seen from Sierra Nevada.

Served in my commemorative Star Trek III glassware (yep, that's Kirk and Spock) from Taco Bell. Tumbler pours medium brown with a light off white head. Great roasted malt nose and a hint of hops. Taste was sweet caramel, roasted malt and a nice hoppy finish. Mouthfeel was light, with medium to high carbonation.

Overall I liked the beer. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase another sixer. I would rather have the Mission St. Brown or the Tamerlane from Black Raven, but overall not too shabby.
