My UMIAMI selection for the bowl game

img_6358The Alter Ego from Treehouse rated 100 by Beer Advocate, and I have to agree.  Here is the description from the Brewery.  Sure it’s hipster and you have to wait in line to get it at the brewery, but well worth it.

Notes / Commercial Description:
A beer brewed in the spirit of experimentation and the celebration of our 3rd anniversary… ! What we did here is we took a whole bunch of Mosaic and Amarillo hops, a classic punch of citrus purveying goodness, and added them to the Julius dry hop. The base beer is exactly the same, but the dry hop is altered tremendously. The result is a beer with all the deliciousness of the base beer with a layer of added citrusy complexity. Like devil Julius or something. A real treat!

 

As for the Keeper from Castle Island, just a little light for me.  They pulled back on the hops and make it more in the Viennese style like a Pils.  Don’t get me wrong, i love Pils, but this is another correct Beer Advocate rating of 89.
