99 Bottles - Beer #10

I finally have a new update for 99! It has been over a year since my last update,  but there is a good reason for it! A little over a year ago, my husband decided to take a year off from drinking, so for the most part I didn't drink, either. That was up in December, so we sometimes will have a beer.

While on a mini-vacation to visit my brother, we went to a liquor store to pick up some beverages. I looked up the beer list online really quick to see if I could fine one. To my surprise, I found one that I thought would be a difficult one to find! This review is for te Alaskan Amber Ale.
Last night before dinner I drank it (but forgot to get a picture). Here is a general picture I found online.


When I first opened the bottle, I took a sniff, and it seemed to have no odor at all, which was interesting. The first sip gives you a fruity taste in the front of your mouth, along with an almost chocolate darkness/bitterness (but not quite). I waited for the flavor to change and evolve, but it never really did. The taste just lingers in the font of your mouth and doesn't really do much else.

I didn't care for it too much. I think if you paired this with some food that may help balance it out, but by itself it is really front-heavy. I definitely would not drink this again by itself. I like something just a little more.

Here is the stitched beer:


Here is all of them so far:

  1. Hubby is going to try to get a cap from each of the bottles after I finish the piece. I think that will be a fun challenge. Love the idea of how you are stitching this one though.

  2. That's an interesting way to stitch this design! I did it a couple years ago, but I don't drink beer at all so I never tasted any.
