2011 Day 48 - New Holland Envious


Name: Envious
From: New Holland Brewing Co, Michigan, USA
Type: Fruit Vegetable Beer


This was a good one! Smelled like a brown ale, with some raspberries in the nose, as well as brown sugar. Taste wasn't massively complex, but it was a well balanced beer. A little sweet, a little tart, (I expected more sourness) with the raspberries in the background, as well as some woodiness (I'm guessing from the oak aging). Nowhere near as good as the New Glarus Raspberry Tart, but a solid, tasty beer that has a few interesting things going on without any one of them overpowering the rest. I've heard really bad things about this one out of the bottle, but I had a draught, and enjoyed it very much.
