For anyone looking for some good beer to try....we found some. We bought a sampler pack - I beleive it was called the "Folly Pack" - which included Fat Tire, Mothership Wit (an organic beer), 1554, and Trippel. Amazingly, all four were excellent. It was some of the best beer we've tasted in quite a while.While Leah was very excited to try an organic beer, the 1554 was our favorite, hands-down. To describe it, 1554 is a Dark/Light beer. It's definitely a dark beer, but yet it's light? Honestly, I'm not sure how to describe it. Here's the description from the New Belgium website:
1554 Enlightened Black Ale uses a light lager yeast strain and dark chocolaty malts to redefine what dark beer can be. It has all the malty complexity of a dark beer, with that light bodied crispness of an easy drinking session beer.
See, they did a much better job at describing it than I could have. The beer is made in Colorado, and New Belgium looks like a pretty cool company too. Check out their website:
