Papa Noel’s Olde Ale Release
11/01/10
Alameda Brewhouse
4765 NE Fremont St
Portland
503-460-9025
This holiday ale was brewed in the English ‘old ale’ style, a traditional strong ale style that is sometimes called a ‘winter warmer.’ The warmth comes from the alcoholic strength of the beer, which weighs in at about 7.2% by volume. Papa Noel’s has a pleasing sweetness from its higher-than-normal alcoholic content, and from its complex malt foundation.This sweetness is balanced by a hint of roasted flavor, as well as a mellow bitterness imparted by a generous amount of English Fuggle hops.
