Driftwood's Crooked Coast Amber Ale
ah Driftwood Brewery, local brewers extraordinaire! today's tipple is the Crooked Coast Amber Ale.
yes, i know its not an ipa, sometimes i need a little more malt, and my darker beer of choice tends to be an amber ale.
holy head batman! i think perhaps the beer was a bit too chilled at the pour... operator error.
from the bottle: "Inspired by the original Alt-style beer of Dusseldorf, Crooked Coast brings together the aromas of German noble hops and Munich malt to produce a very refreshing and mellow ale that is the perfect companion on any shape of coast."
at a modest 5.1% you can settle in and make this your session beer, and i suggest that you do - its malty goodness sure does refresh!
and then i visited the website to see what they have to say, and they second my suggestion to make it a session beer: "Delicate malt-hop balance is the defining trait of this quintessential session beer!"
and offers these food pairing suggestions:

- Bratwurst, weisswurst…yay German sausage!
- A great compliment to many pork dishes.
