Archives: Bullfrog Brewing, 6/25/98

Bullfrog Brewing
Williamsport, PA
Thurs, 6/25/98, 1pm
[open]

House Brews:
Billtown Brown
Red Raspberry Wheat Ale (J)
Red Ale (J: sample)
IPA
Susquehanna Stout
Belgian Wit (B)

Belgian: Cloudy golden color. Whipped cream head. Good aroma - well balanced and promising nose. Is a well balanced swallow too. All spices are evident and there is a distinctive tart/sour finish which refreshes on a 90+ degree day. Body is adequate - not outstanding - slightly thin. A good but not superb Belgian. 8.1

Red Raspberry Ale: A creamy head with no staying power. The aroma is fairly pleasant and fruity. There is not much of an initial taste - the finish tastes like sour raspberries - unpleasant. Body is somewhat on the thin side - but not bad for this style. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 7.1

Red Ale: A reddish brown color. Aroma is fairly weak. Malty taste. A nice balance of malt and hops. The hops are strong, but not obnoxious. Not much of a head. Body is just a bit thin. This is much better than the wheat. I'd drink this again. 8.3

P.S. I put the raspberry aside after having about 1/4 of it and had the red ale instead.
