Commercial Description:
Pull on your wool socks and crack open a 2° Below Ale. This tasty winter warmer started life as a small batch beer brewed for the Al Johnson Uphill Downhill – a telemark ski race in Crested Butte, Colorado. The Uphill Downhill celebrates the exploits of Al Johnson, letter carrier extraordinaire, who delivered mail by ski in the late 1800’s. Dry hopping during fermentation creates a floral nose with a hint of pepper and spicy, subtle undertones. 2° Below provides a bright, hoppy palate and a cheery warm afterglow.

Some malt hiding in the nose behind the brilliant lemon/earthy notes. Malty slightly creamy body, although a bit thin. Tastes like an Imperial Fat Tire.

Sampled with stegosaurus. Pours a amber color with a white head. Aroma of malts, citrus, and some spices. Great malty flavor with caramel and some light hops. Finishes clean and crisp. Decent brew

Bottle sampled on 12/2/06: Pours a clear copper bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing light tan head. Lightly sweet toasty earthy caramel malty aroma has some mild English hop character. Body starts lightly toasty and sweet but thins with a hint of grapefruity hoppiness toward a duller bland finish. Fairly drinkable, but that’s about it.

Bottle. Aroma is excellent. Flavor is burnt toast and caramel. Flavor is a let down after that excellent aroma.

Tap. Pours amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is floral hops, citrus, pale malts. Flavor is about the same. Palate is medium, medium carbonation, finishes bitter. Decent brew.

Very good looking brew. A crystal clear amber with a nice sized head to it. Smell is decant, light. Taste is light with spices and some maltiness. Very drinkable brew.
