Brewed By/In: Philadelphia Brewing Company / Philadelphia, PA
Best Served In: Stange Glass from the tap
ABV: 4.5%
Characteristics: Perfectly golden straw color, white head that lasted for a minute releasing some hoppy and floral aromatics. Splashed with a slightly hoppy bite onto the palate and finished sweetly. The light body was crisp and refreshing as you tasted hits of citrus.
Food-pairing: Tasty Kake Butterscotch Krimpet Tiramisu (I wish I had a photo to share)
Overall: 8.0 - For a beer whose name seems to refer to a frightening part of Philadelphia, this brew is certainly anything but that. It sat well with my meal at Bridget Foy's of South Street. By the way, this drink was included in the Restaurant Week menu. Thankfully, this year-round beer can be enjoyed again - I have high hopes that sitting on my porch with this chilled will make for a great evening. I am going to preemptively recommend this as a summer session. I am proud to know that Philadelphia has a plethora of outstanding brewers - even if the water sources may be the Delaware or the Schuylkill. I will continue to support the PBC and the many brewing companies of the City of Brotherly Love.
If you have not gone out yet to enjoy Restaurant Week in Philadelphia, by all means, do it. It is a great way to feel fancy without paying the full, fancy prices and many establishments like Bridget Foy's offer a complementary drink! Today begins week 2 of the event for this season. See all of the participating restaurants through OpenTable! See what others are saying and join the conversation on Twitter.
