5 Seasons Brewing Co. North
Recently, I took a much cherished visit to 5 Seasons Brewing Co. North.
I don’t get to go here very often, but when I do, it’s worth the wait!
Here are the beers I had…
Cask Aged Dark Star Licorice Stout-dark chocolate bitter, yeasty and nourishing.
Oktoberfest Lager-great hoppy marzen, loaded with malt and plenty of hops powering through. This is the best of both worlds!
Big Red-smooth amber ale, kind of finishes like unsweetened tea. Good Fall beer.
Amberliscious ESB-I used to be avoid Extra Special Bitters, until I started getting into hoppy- bitter beers. To my surprise, ESB’s really aren’t that bitter, but they are usually pretty special. This one is no exception. Lots o’flavor, and it does actually finish with a good hop bitterness. Earthy butterscotch with great hop finish.
Plan B IPA-2 years ago, I couldn’t have finished this beer. Now I love it! This is a freakin’ hop bomb! Citrusy-Skunky,(in a good way), aroma. Sweet malt flavor mixed with grapefruit hops and hops and hops, with a bitter pine hop finish. This beer could’ve carried itself from Britain to India!
Decadent Brown Ale-dark brown chocolate-nutty brown ale with plenty of hops breaking through. This ain’t no Newcastle! Deliciously Decadent-10 malts/10 hops, (Deca)= Mmm, mmm good.
Belgian Red– Bubble gum/candied apple with warming alcohol. Probably shouldn’t have had the big brown before this one, still very good.
Alright, obviously all the beers were wonderful. I recommend you get the sampler, so you can try all the draughts available. I had Veal Bratwurst and Green Tomato Gyoza to eat, and they were both delicious. Take a trip to Alpharetta, Sandy Springs or Atlanta. It is a wonderful experience to try original, fresh, handcrafted beers, that you can’t get anywhere else.
