Beer 384 - Ithaca Cold Front Amber Ale (3 stars out of 5)


Brewed and bottled by Ithaca Beer Co, Ithaca, NY. Bought at a 24 hour convenience store opposite Lombardi's in Little Italy, NY. and drunk as a nightcap in the hotel after we had walked from Lombardi’s Pizza in Little Italy all the way back to the hotel.  It took us almost an hur to walk the nearly 3 miles and Patricia ended up with blisters

The web site says “Cold Front Belgian-Style Amber Ale
Availability: Sept. - Feb.
Description: Cold Front is our Belgian-style Amber Ale brewed in autumn to keep us inspired as the days grow shorter and the nights colder. It's brewed with European Malts and hops and fermented with a legendary Belgian "Farmhouse" yeast. Savor its deep russet color, rich flavor accented by slight herbal hoppiness, and definite spicy yeast character. Bundle up!”

I enjoyed the beer because my feet were sore and I needed comforting.
