Day 358 - 16 Mile Amber Sun Ale

Big aluminum bottles are kind of cool, but this one masks a very nice colored beer (deep reddish orange), and in my opinion, inparts just a hint of metalic to the taste when you drink out of it. I'm not sure of the economics of glass vs solid aluminum, but probably easier to ship and less breakage with the metal.

From a glass, this is a very pleasing beer, balancing both malt and hops into a tasty brew. You can appreciate it, without being to distracted by it. The analogy being walking down the street with your sig other, and seeing something eye-catching, but not so much you get an elbow in the ribs or feel too bad....

Specs:

Full name: 16 Mile Amber Sun Ale
Brewed By: 16 Mile Brewing Co
From: Georgetown DE
ABV: unknown, but guessing 5ish

So very cool bottle plus good beer plus less than 2 hours away makes for potential visit. They have a couple of other ales out, so will have to try them.

Down to the last week, going to be strange when the year is over, but at least I have my W.o.W. to keep me going. (no, not World of Warcraft, Whisky of Week...)

Cheers!
