Spectacular 100th Beer Grand Finale - Part 2 of 3

[After nightfall]

.

Day 100 – Rock Bottom
.

Today Beer Heads we are drinking The Rock Bottom’s specially crafted Crosley Field Pale Ale. Named of course after the Reds former home Crosley Field. This is a great beer. They say it's malty, but I don't really taste it, but maybe, I have had to much too drink. Nah!
.
We've also decided to try some of their other varieties.
.
Cincinnati American Light: It's light, crisp, and very cold. Iron chef likes this one alot.
.
White Tiger Wheat: It's got some mild cloves. Iron Chef says it's very orange-y with maybe some bananas.
.
Maibock: Wow! It's very pleasant. Iron Chef says she detects some fruity essence to it, almost like a mead wine. She says that if only this weren't a seasonal, she would make this her new favorite.
.
Pumpkin Ale: Iron Chef says it's very pleasing. It's all about the pumpkin flavor and less about the spice like most pumpkin brews.
.
Tall Stacks Ale: We were thinking this was an amber, but it turns out that it's more of a "light" dark beer.
.
The Rock Bottom also has a rotating dark beer ale. Tonight, Iron Chef's curiosity proved to be a good thing. Our server. Michael, sensing that she needed a warmer for the road, has brought her a small sample of the current dark. It just happens to Dry Irish Stout. Have I told you that she loves everything Irish? Now she'll definitely be singing the praises of Rock Bottom Brewery. She says it was very, very good. She can taste the dark chocolate notes in it.
.
And these recognizable home town favorites are great to drink after coming back from a fictitious trip around the world where you've logged in reviews about all kinds of different beers. Which reminds me, I’ve gotta add this last one to the big list I’ve been keeping of all the beers I’ve drank on my Beer Odyssey. Here we go, “Number 100”, “Rock Bottom”. “And I think I will rate it an 8”.
