And another great BBQ.. weather was good, grill was hot and beer was cold.. The favorite for the night was the Dark Ale, followed by the Blonde, and the IPA was nice, but a pass on any repeat..
ZUNGA - Golden Blonde Ale
DEFINITION:
(zung-ga) 1. a word peculiar to Powell River meaning rope swing, esp. over water
2. A delicious golden blonde ale.
This golden blonde ale has a light bitterness and a balanced body to create a dry, refreshing finish, with hints of European hops. It is the perfect accompaniment to a hot day up the lake.

This Red IPA pours with a finger and a half of head and is a reddish-amber hue. leaving thick lacing behind on the glass this beer has an aroma that is rich with hop character and toasted malt. The toasted malt gives a caramel-like sweetness on the nose while the hops give a spicy, piney, bitter aroma. Tasting the beer the malt takes charge up front with a toasted malt character that is slightly burnt. Along with the burnt flavour comes a caramel sweetness.

Midnight Rhaposdy -Dark Ale
Midnight wraps her velvet-golved hand ’round the city. The purples of neon lights flood the big rock in the sky. A chorus of voices sing berry-sweet songs and dark dream ballads. A smooth finish with a soft bitterness, this ale pours a dark amber with subtle currant and roasted malt aromas. Dance, sing, sway…to the tune of Midnight Rhapsody.
