In all my excitement with blogging about the opening of Two Roads Brewery I was remiss in doing a review of the two new beers I tried while I was there.When I had my sneak peek of the brewery prior to them opening their doors to the public I had the opportunity to try their Holiday Ale, Road 2 Ruin and Honeyspot Road. All of which were outstanding brews!
When I was at the opening I got to try two new beers . . .
Worker's Comp Saison is a very sessionable 4.8% ABV. It is murky golden color with a fluffy head and a hearty wheat aroma. Worker's Comp is a very wheaty beer that is lightly fruity and a little hoppy . . . making for a delicious, well-balance brew. If you're a fan of wheat beer then this one is definitely for you! Light and refreshing . . . very good!
The saison was good and all that but . . . Ol' Factory Pils was the star for me. A clear golden colored beer with a thick head and a mouth-watering hoppy aroma. A very drinkable and sessionable 5.0% ABV, Ol' Factory is a surprisingly hoppy pilsner. It's not as hoppy as an IPA. It is smooth, crisp and has just the right amount of bite. Oh . . . and lacing? It's got that! This is one of those beers I could sit around and drink all day . . . and enjoy every single sip. Delish!!
However, I must admit that Honeyspot Road white IPA remains my favorite of all their beers . . . so far.
