Look: Maple brown with a hefty amount of creamy tan head
Taste: HOPS, sweets
Conclusion: This was an 8.7% mystery of a brew. Never have I heard of this brewing company nor have I ever laid eyes upon the beer can. It caught my eye is a refrigerator full of bottles. The lone can was standing alone in a see of bottles...like the Lone Ranger on top of trusty old Trigger, ready to spring into action.
So I picked up this odd little can and again my interest grew when I saw the 8.7% ABV marking on the side. The can itself is friggin hilarious! Apparently, in the wild, this brews scientific name is [Can'o bliss, satisfy ya]. On the back you can also find a little recycle symbol. Another reason to love this beer even before I've tried it! Also has my favorite mountain biking motto: "Pack it in. Pack it out."
The beer itself is a sticky icky blend of hops, what tastes like caramel, and some sweet but subtle fruit flavor. Gawd!! What an amazing beer! This thing is thick as maple syrup and is hearty like a sonofabitch! An unbelievably powerful and savory drink. Apparently it's in named after Gordon Knight who won gold brewing awards at three different breweries and brewed beer in Colorado, only to die in a plane crash while trying to put out fires. Damn, this guy could be the Paul Bunyan of our time! Makin' beer and saving lives...well, better than Paul Bunyan.
I give this one an excellent, top notch score. WOW!
9 Brews!
