Name: True Evel
From: Lakefront Brewing Company, Wisconsin, USA
Type: Biere De Garde
Hmmm....Mid-February and this is already my third Biere De Garde, which I consider to be a pretty under-represented style. Interesting. We visited Lakefront Brewery, hoping to catch a tour, but they were sold out for the day. So instead we grabbed some to go, including a 22oz bomber of "True Evel", a tribute beer to Evel Knievel. Why they decided to go with a French-style farmhouse ale to show their love for an American badass, I don't know. The most exciting thing about this beer was that I only paid $3 for the bomber. What a deal! The beer itself was only okay...the grain bill tasted similar to those found in German lagers, but the yeast did give it a slightly bubble-gummy quality that interacted well. Not even remotely funky (boo), but crisp and easy to drink. I wouldn't mind having another bottle around, at least not for $3!
