Background: The TBA Collaboration Ale is and ale created by 3 awesome west coast breweries including probably the most popular Stone Brewing Co. These breweries have successfully crafted a wonderful brown ale infused with molasses and brown sugar. This beer clocks in at 7.1% alcohol.
Appearance: Rich amber/brown color, great head retention and color (light brown)
Aroma: malty, molasses, slight hops and earthy smells
Taste: pine, rich brown sugar/molasses flavors are very prominent and mix wonderfully with the pine/earthy notes hidden within the hops and exudes an almost floral after taste.
Mouthfeel: great head retention provides a wonderful burst of CO2 with every sip, smooth and slightly dry.
Overall: This is a good solid beer that resonates well on a hot day. The balance of hops and malt is almost prefect allowing the drinker to enjoy wonderful dark malts/molasses and pine ridden hops. This beer is prefect for a mellow summer day. I will most defiantly be buying this beer again!
