Nodding Head 60 Shilling

The final beer I tried on my first visit to Nodding Head was the 60 Shilling thanks to the recommendation of Ethan (Brewniversal).  The beer pours a dark amber color with a bubbly white colored head.  The aroma consists of caramel, malts, grass, and pepper.  A slight malt funkiness also creeps in to the beer. The taste is smooth and sweet with plenty of caramel and sweet malts making up the profile of this beer. A dry grassy finish accompanies the beer and balances the sweetness rather nicely. The alcohol content is 4.75% ABV. I would have to say that Ethan was right in saying that the 60 Shilling was an excellent beer. A variety of flavors keeps the tongue busy, and all of them are tied well together.

Nodding Head BPA (Bill Payer Ale)

Another beer I ordered on my first ever visit to Nodding Head in Philadelphia was the BPA (Bill Payer Ale). The beer pours an amber color with a frothy white colored head. The aroma consists of tangerine, grapefruit, pine lemon, and caramel. The taste is bitter and dry with lots of citrus on the front end. Grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon all pop out before some bitter pepper and pine dry out the mouth. The alcohol content is 5.0% ABV. This was a rather delicious and dry pale ale, but beware that it is a dry and bitter pale ale.

Nodding Head George's Fault

While in Philadelphia, I stopped in to Nodding Head Brewery for my first ever visit there. The first beer I ordered was George’s Fault. The beer pours a golden color with a thin filmy white head. The aroma consists of orange, coriander, honey, and grass. The taste is sweet and citrusy with plenty of orange flavor on the front end. Coriander and toasted toffee show up in the background, with a honey sweetness comes out in the finish and has a grassy after taste. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. I enjoyed this beer a lot with its citrusy profile, but what made the beer was the spicy accents and a touch of honey.
