Widmer Drop Top - Good Stuff
Since I normally have enjoyed Widmer beers and I felt bad about how terrible their W’09 Belgian Style ale was, I thought I’d review one of their best beers. This is an amber ale and it’s not in an established style. It’s a Widmer creation and it’s seriously good on any evening, in any time of year. Lightly malted and lightly hopped, it’s a medium beer in many ways, but the recipe just works. The inspiration is a convertible ride on a summer night and the logo is a dog hanging his tongue out over the side of the car. Definitely appropriate. But make no mistake, this is a great all season beer and you can’t go wrong picking up a large bottle or six pack of this one. Here in Portland it’s available in 22oz bottles, six packs, and twelve packs. I know that on the US East Coast it’s available in the same. Everyone else worldwide are on your own. But if you’re in Portland and want to sample one of the city’s greats, this is, in our opinion, one of the high flyers.
