Barleys Full Moon Ale

Brewed by Barleys Brewing Company
Style: Barley Wine
Columbus, Ohio USA

Serve in Snifter

Nose of pepper, yeast, and spice, softer than the nose of blue moon. Pours sparkling golden honey with blonde highlights. The mostly lasting firm creamy/frothy off-white head leaves good lacing. The brew starts with toasted malt and cereal. High acidity is present with a finish that is both fruity and bready. The light body is creamy and lively with a finish that feels dry.

Okay, this is the winner from two years ago. The were showcasing this again for a limited time. Taking into accounts the limits set on brewers by Ohio law, I think this guy did a pretty good job. I poured a light amber color with a nice off white head. Had an aroma of hops, malt and some not citrus, but I would say apples. A slight sweet taste to it with elements of malt. A little lighter in both body and alcohol then this style calls for, but a good beer nonetheless.
