Kegging the Flagship Ale
Published by Doug January 29th, 2006 in Northern Brewer, cornelius keg, final gravityKegging of the Flagship Ale (Friday Jan 29, 2006 7:00pm) as i’m now calling it was rather uneventful. I sanitized all the necessary equipment and siphoned it over. The color is a dark red and it’s final gravity was 1.010. It has a very thin mouthfeel (at kegging time) and mild malty flavor. The hops are certainly pronounced but not overpowering. I can’t wait until it’s carbonated.
My first pull just to taste it was pleasing. It’s decently malty but not overpowering. The hop presence has certainly diminshed. I was able to see the formings of a creamy white head.
Second pull (Sunday 01/29/2006, 9:30AM) definitely some head now. Passed the pint around the breakfast table. My parents agreed, this one came out nice. (Pats self on back)
It leaves the aftertaste in your mouth of Smithwick’s. It’s a reddish color and it’s got a very creamy taste. I think it will be an easy drinking beer that should satisfy many palates.
