Dead Rise Old Bay Summer Ale

Flying Dog Dead Rise Old Bay Summer Ale. Herbed/Spiced Beer made with Old Bay Seasoning. Frederick, Maryland. 5.6% ABV.

I wrote only a few short days ago during my review of Flying Dog's Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout that I was anxiously looking for their beer made with Old Bay Seasoning. It so happens that I found it that very evening at Carmine Street Beers in the West Village. I was able to buy a single bottle of this, as well as The Kimmie, the Yank and the Holy Gose from Friday and the Pumking from Saturday's review and a few other upcoming ones. On to the review.

Served chilled from a 12 oz bottle and poured into a pint glass. Pours a hazy straw/golden color with a two finger white foam head that disappears rather quickly. Smells are of the Old Bay seasoning, though had I not known it was in there would have been impossible to distinguish from another spice variety. Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated with a medium to light body. Taste is very bready and spicy, with the Old Bay seasoning shining through. It is actually nicely balanced, and finishes crisp and salty. 

I am a big fan of Old Bay, and put it on practically everything. In NYC, it has become readily available at most grocery stores, but before it did, I tended to use Tony Chachere's. I would love to try a beer made with that as well! (Homebrewing idea-stay tuned).

Overall this is a very drinkable beer. I would rebuy this, and can see why it has been flying off the shelves. Next time I'll pair some crab cakes with this-would be perfect!
