    Idunware Beer

    Have you ever found yourself wondering about a beer that you drank before and just can’t remember it’s name? I know I have before. We there is now a great little databasing program built specifically to help you with that. It is called Idunware Beer and the program allows you to database different beers, breweries and distributors. The break down of each entry that you put in is extremely detail oriented if you like to be that way. Then again you also don’t have to be. You can add a style and what brewery made the beer to the entries as well as a review with a grade. Hell you can even enter how much you paid for it each time you had it.

    The people over at Idunware were nice enough to give me a copy of the program to test and I must say that a lot of hard work had to have been put into this and it paid off. I consider myself a very detail oriented person. My record collection list I have broken down into all different little things and this program lets me do this with my beer.

    If you are a beer lover and want a great way to organize and database the beers you have drank then Idunware Beer is perfect for this. You can visit Idunware and purchase Idunware Beer at their website by going to www.idunware.com

    Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

    Name – Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale
    Country – United States
    Type – American Brown Ale

    Appearance – Very deep brown color with a nice, thick tan head.

    Smell – Roasted malts, toffee and nuts.

    Taste – A rich, sweet, roasted taste of toffee and malts.  Slight coffee taste with a hoppy finish.

    Not being a fan of coffee I was a little concerned going into this one but figured why not.  The appearance is just amazing but then the smell got me scared again.  The roasted smells usually indicate a coffee taste.  While it did have a slight coffee taste it was not overpowering like some imperial stouts would be.  It was sweeter than I thought which helped me enjoy it more.  Not an amazing beer but an above average one.

    Overall Grade – C+

    Saint Somewhere Lectino Devina

    Name – Saint Somewhere Lectino Devina
    Country – United States
    Type -Belgian Strong Pale Ale

    Appearance – Beautiful deep amber color with a frothy head similar to foam from the ocean.

    Smell – Strong fruity smell of apple.  Slight caramel smell.

    Taste – The taste had definite apple to it.  A yeast taste is also there with a slight bite from the alcohol.

    I initially tried this at the Treasure Coast Beer Festival a couple months back and they are a Florida brewery out of Tarpon Springs.  I didn’t quite remember the taste from the festival but was pleasantly surprised.  It was absolutely smooth from the first sip all the way down.  The only issue I may have had with it was that it seemed just slightly empty.  Just not strong enough on the flavors.  I did not find the taste overly strong but with 8% ABV it is technically strong by alcohol content stand point.  I enjoyed this one a lot and would definitely recommend it.

    Overall Grade – A-
