Swimming in an imperial, 8.0% abv cider. Rose colored glasses for the soul.   Brasserie d'Achouffe Houblon Chouffe IPA - Belgian / 9% ABV / 47 IBU / 270 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / The gnomes of Fairyland may be little, but they have big, very big, personalities. HOUBLON CHOUFFE matches their impish spirits. All gnomes, with their innate good taste, are in full agreement about HOUBLON CHOUFFE, which is flavoured by three different types of hops. This India Pale Ale is appreciated for its pronounced bitterness combined with the fruity tones of traditional Achouffe beers: it softens the strongest of characters.   Brasserie d'Achouffe La Chouffe Blond Belgian Strong Golden Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / The gnomes of Fairyland are particularly fond of this golden beer. LA CHOUFFE, with its slight hoppy taste, combining notes of fresh coriander and fruity tones, is the drink which gives them their zest for life. At least, that's what these imps say when they are thirsty. Their secret used to be jealously guarded from one generation to the next until the day they shared the recipe with humans to seal their friendship. Of all the legends from the wonderful region of the Belgian Ardennes, the tale of LA CHOUFFE is the one which most merits re-telling.   Brasserie d'Achouffe Mc Chouffe Belgian Strong Dark Ale / 8% ABV / 20 IBU / 240 CAL / Achouffe, Wallonie / Among the mythical characters living in Fairyland, some are more unusual than others. Malcolm, for example, is different because of his accent and his kilt: when it comes to beer, his favourite is Mc CHOUFFE. The delicious flavours of aniseed, liquorice and toffee tickle his taste buds. If you listen to him, he will boast of its ruby sparkle, its smooth bitterness and its strong character, worthy of his native Scotland. Although robust, Mc CHOUFFE goes down as easily as LA CHOUFFE.   Brooklyn Cider House Bone Dry Cider - Traditional / 6.9% ABV / 150 IBU / 207 CAL / New Paltz, NY /   Brooklyn Cider House Little Wild Cider - Traditional / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / New Paltz, NY / Little Wild is a semi-sweet, wild-fermented cider that is tart, earthy and bursting with fresh apple, citrus and honey aromas.   Brooklyn Cider House Raw Cider - Traditional / 6.9% ABV / 207 CAL / New Paltz, NY /   Brooklyn Cider House Rosé Cider - Rosé / 5.8% ABV / 174 CAL / New Paltz, NY / Fruity, bubbly, off-dry   Brouwerij Rodenbach Rodenbach Grand Cru Sour - Flanders Red Ale / 6% ABV / 35 IBU / 180 CAL / Roeselare, Vlaanderen / This is an aged Belgian red ale, which is ‘ripened quietly in oak barrels for two years’, according to the label. It has an extremely pungent aroma of rich grapey fruit, with acidic notes, very much like a slightly sour red wine or possibly a gueuze. In the mouth it is slightly sweet, extremely acidic and fruity, with grapes and even cherries discernible, and very lively. Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity.   Ciderboys Hard Cider Peach County Cider - Other Fruit / 5% ABV / 150 CAL / Stevens Point, WI / The ice

The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack.
