Blue Star Brewery

A couple of new beers on the board at Blue Star:
1. Pomegranate Ale: As my friend said -- an ale that got a little out of hand and thus infused with pomegranate. It's a little sweet and over-carbonated (as the waitress noted right away), but not bad. It sits heavy at the back of the tongue.
2. Cask Conditioned Dry Hopped Stout: No aftertaste to this one. It does have a vaguely hoppy taste which is quite a nice complement to the bitterness of the stout (the hoppy bitter hits you further back on the tongue). Not bad.

The Pale Ale is good. A tiny bit fruity, but no skunky aftertaste. Not particularly hoppy either, but very good. Their beer has improved tremendously and I love heading over there on a Monday night for football and some chitchat.
