I don’t know what the people at Lakefront Brewery have against bridges and honestly I don’t really care. They’ve made a mighty tasty brew here so if they want to burn them all down I’m not going to stop them. I’ve just started to see their beers pop up in my fine area of New Jersey and I’m as giddy as a school girl about it. Their IPA was so good I drank it all before I had time to write a post or take a picture of it. Don’t you just hate me? I deserve it I know.

Their Bridge Burner ale is part of their special reserve series, so you know it’s going to be classy. It’s a big guy so look out, it’ll take you to thunder dome, whatever that means. Lots of caramel and malt in the aroma and a nice big head tops off this rather dark tadger. I don’t think that’s a word either so don’t worry. The taste is complex, a lot going on here. Sweet with lots of malt but also a big hop presence. Hard to explain but it’s all around good. You would never be able to tell that there’s a 8% ABV floating around in those delicious waters either. This could be bad.

Give this one a go if you can track it down. If not honestly I’m starting to think any of Lakefront’s beers are going to do you right so I’m looking forward to seeing more of their work.
