Day 129: Movember Mustache Ale


Name: Movember Mustache Ale
Brewer: Bull City Burger & Brewery (Durham, NC)
Classification: Amber Ale
Alcohol: ?

Thoughts: For those of you who do not know Movember is a foundation that raises awareness for Prostate Cancer through the growing of epically manly mustaches during the month of November. This works out well for people like myself who partake in NoShavember.  A portion of every sale of Movember Mustache ale goes to the Durham Movember Team. A couldn't help but get this one. As you can see in the picture my wife is trying to make a mustache out of the thinning beige head that floats atop this reddish-auburn colored ale. The smell was hop heavy with slight hints of caramel and some earthy barley was mixed in as well. It was extremely fresh, which can make all the difference. The look and smell culminated into an almost divine Amber Ale taste with the balance of a gymnast. It was so clean and drinkable I had another one right after I finished the first. This is the second time I have been to Bull City and the second time I have had an unbelievably great beer. Again if you are ever in the Durham area check this place out!
