Steve: I noted the city where this is brewed, because I was amazed that New Jersey could crank out a decent beer. Not that NJ is the cesspool people think it is, but it's not known for it's breweries, like Wisconsin, Colorado, Washington, and other such states. This was a pretty thick beer, typical of a Dubbel (French for Double, similar to a Double Bock). Otherwise, the only novelty is that it's from Jersey. I think you might find a better tasting one from the Netherlands or Belgium, but this one will do, if you want to stay domestic. (2/21/2000)

Steve: Boy, you'd think with a name like this the stuff would be gross. Brewed in my home state of NJ, I was on business up there (from Atlanta), and of course travelling on business sucks. So at the end of a particularly sucky day, I went into Red Bank, sat down at Danny's Steak House, ordered a nice $20 prime rib (expense account, of course), and washed it down with this tasty beverage. The steak was huge, the beer was great, and the conversation didn't suck. All on the company tab. Gotta love it. Would this beer have tasted so good if I wasn't willing (at the time) to walk over my mother for a beer? Probably not. But it was there at the right place, right time, and it came through for me (like Claude Lemieux in the playoffs, the gay Frog), so it wins points. (4/20/2002)
