Episode # 393: Baby’s On Fire

Life On Tap

Dan cracks a collaboration beer with Widow Jane Distillery from Strong Rope Brewery: Baby’s On Fire, featuring proprietary flaked corn.

Strong Rope Brewery Baby’s On Fire

STYLE: American Amber Lager
INGREDIENTS: Proprietary “Baby Jane” corn flaked by New York Craft Malt
ABV: 5.6%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Seasonal)
COLLABORATION: Widow Jane Distillery
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Appearance

Deep amber in color with a huge, fluffy, white head.

Aroma

Malt sweetness with corn, grain, and a hint of caramel.

Taste

Gentle, toasted sugar sweetness blends with malt/corn character.

Mouthfeel

Medium body and weight despite the lower ABV with carbonation providing a great mouthfeel.

Overall

This was very easy-drinking and I could see this being a great transition beer from lighter lagers to something heavier a la Doppelbock. Pairing-wise, this is also very versatile, but I was feeling roast chicken or even for braising various fish or fowl.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
