Ithaca Beer Co. Ground Break

Ithaca Beer Company, Ground Break bottle of craft beer

 

 

This will sound a little odd, but I actually taste bacon or ham flavor when drinking ‘Ground Break’ by Ithaca Beer Company.  It is subtle but very identifiable.  Now that I am thinking about it, I think this one may be spoiled too, my stomach feels a bit odd at the moment.  As they are stored at Wegmans, these aren’t refrigerated and aren’t covered (the full bottle is exposed to light, which is supposedly bad), and I’m not sure how long they might have been on the shelf.  I will have to try it again in the future to get a better sample.

Innis & Gunn Original

Interesting beer.  Mild flavor with with the aforementioned vanilla, toffee and oak flavoring;  in that order I would say. It almost has a slight liquor aftertaste (like when doing a shot of something over 100 proof), but I think this is due to the mix of flavors.

Actually, I’m not sure what oak tastes like.  I know what reed cane tastes like after majoring in saxophone performance in college and playing some clarinet… but this taste is different.  Reed flavored beer might be a bit unusual, but I think someone should give it a try just for the novelty.  This, again, is from the Wegmans ‘choose your own craft pack.’

Interesting stuff.  I’ve never been a big beer fan, but I’m sampling varieties of beer lately, trying to learn the differences between them.  Wegmans has a deal where you can pick any six from an assortment.
Some others I have sampled in the past several weeks: Read more »
