    Drinking this nice breakfast stout with some of yesterday's leftovers.
    Thunder, wind picking up. Some cooling storms for today.

    Is Shed brown ale available in bottles or cans ? The only packaged Shed that I can readily find in Albany is the Mountain Ale and the IPA. Big fan of both of those varieties.

    Yesterday afternoon we made the 1 hour drive from our camp, up to the Schroon Lake / Paradox Lake area. Stopped at the Paradox Brewery for some refreshments, before going further north for shopping and dinner. By next summer, this brewery will be shut down, and Paradox will be brewing at their new facility in North Hudson, NY.

    Amy ordered a flight, and I had a pint of the Red Ale.

    Before leaving, I had the growler filled with Beaver Bite IPA. Despite what the label says, the canned version of Beaver Bite is brewed under contract at Two Roads, in CT; whereas the beer in my growler was brewed right here in the Adirondacks. This should answer the question as to what beer I will be drinking today.

    Ah, yes . . .

    [​IMG]

    Color of light yellow gold with bountiful white cap and solid lacing.

    Scent of mild sweet malt and floral hops with a discernible touch of ripe fruits such as melon or pineapple.

    Taste seems simple at first but grows increasingly complex as the flavors roll over the tongue. Malt is there, no lack of it for sure, but mainly appears to bolster the slightly sweet, slightly ripe fruits. Hops I notice in the back of the palate where a refreshing bitterness arises to put an end to things. Until the next swallow which is just as good.
    Texture is medium with balancing carbonation.

    Overall it's a splendid take on Kolsch, or at least the things I like about Kolsch, even if it has some indigenous touches.
