Beer of the Week

Boont Amber Ale
ND Kilmer
Boont Amber Ale, created by Anderson Valley Brewing Company is very unknown to these two young gents. It is brewed in Boonville California in Mendocino County. No one knows where that is. Maybe it's the origin of calling the middle of no where "the boonies"? No one knows that either. Also no one knows where this came from, it just appeared in our fridge after a weekend with both Dan and myself missing from the house. All I can say at this point is that the bottle has a very ideal looking scenes of snowy mountains behind rolling green hills with a crystal blue river complete with what looks like a bearmoose hybrid sipping the water in the foreground. So many unknowns, so with no expectations lets dive into our glass of malt and hops.

A
Dan: If Professor Oak were a beer he would be this color.
Ben: I'll pass, oh well why not. It looks like beer. It is a pleasant color.
Noah: It looks like the fake wood siding on a car.

S
Dan: That smells good. Hops.
Ben: That smells hoppy.
Noah: Smells stronger than normal beer.

T
Dan: It tastes really watered down. Like an IPA that's been mixed with water.
Ben: Almost a honey taste, but it is so watery. It feels like it should be thicker than it is, but it's not.
Noah: Leaves much to be desired in taste. Leaves no flavor in the back of my throat.

O
Dan: Weak like the Ukraine. 6, good party beer, high shotgunability.
Ben: 8 divided by 2 so 4, I felt like it was half the beer it could have been.
Noah: Taste is all I really care about and it wasn't great. Probably 45 degrees and cloudy.

Krunkability: 5.8% ABV/$10.99 Per 6 pack=.5277525502 another very low beer. Maybe Dan is wrong about the partyability of this brew.* At least we answered one of our questions this evening: the boonies is short for the boondocks!








*Dan's note: I meant that it was easy to drink.
