People's Pint: 100% Local

People's Pint: 100% Local

            When you go to a brewery, you must try the seasonal beers.  Did you hear me?  I will say it again, you must try the seasonal beers.  This season at The People’s Pint they have a new and exciting beer called “100% Local Ale”.  The description reads:

"The People's Pint is super proud to announce our 100% Local Ale. It's made with Barley grown in Hadley & Wheat grown in Belchertown; both malted by Valley Malt in Hadley. Four Star Farms in Northfield grew the Cascade and Nugget Hops and The People's Pint Brewery mixed it all together to make Massachusetts' first 100% Local Ale. Please enjoy."

            And honestly, this green, locally sourced, way of thinking is something to be very proud of.  The beer pours golden amber with a short, quickly dissipating head.  It has a strong smell of ginger and lemon that carries over into the flavor.  It is crisp with a very strong wheat presence, almost yeasty.  The local American hops impart a zesty citrus flavor to this gloriously balanced and hoppy beer.  This is truly a unique and honest beer, but not very complex, a definite must try but maybe not a mission brew.  I give it a B+ for concept and taste.
