Brewers Description of this Summer Lake Beer:

“A raft-up variation. A group of boats anchored together sharing a few stories and a few beers with friends.

Our Boatilla Amber Ale is brewed using a blend of Pale 2 Row and Cara Munich malts that give it a beautiful, deep reddish hue. It’s well balanced, but has a bolder maltiness than our Kölsch. Boatilla is the perfect beer for those summer evenings spent floating on the water with friends and family.”

Our Review:

The identity created by Big Bay Brewing is very cool. The names and labels of all of their beers and sodas are fun and inviting. The pour revealed a clear yet dark copper color emitting a fragrance of rich tobacco or oak. The head reduced to nothing in about 20 seconds. Initially tasting in the bottle gave this lake beer a sharp bitterness. The glass tasting resulted in a much smoother approach with a malty hoppy bitterness that crescendos into a semi-sweet finish.

As the label suggests, find some friends with boats, cove-out, and give this beer a whirl.
