The Story? Thanks to frequent visits to The Westy, I've been able to explore almost all of Bacchus Brewery's line. Their brewer, Richie works down at The Westy which, while an obvious reason why they're such a proponent of Bacchus, is pretty cool the whole way around. A quality, consistent, draft-only brewery worth checking out amongst a plethora of Finger Lakes breweries.
The Beer? BIG hops with a light body. Staying, fluffy, mustache-giving head. Plenty of strong, bitter citrus flavors with a very dry, lingering finish. Nice amber coloring too. Very piney, but never sticky or dank. A robust blend of lots of Chinook and Ahtanum hops and Vienna, German Carapils, and Acidulated malts, then dry-hopped with and Falconer's Flight.
Overall, a very pale ale with modest gravity. Looking forward to more beers from Bacchus as they continue to climb the ranks of CNY breweries. Flora's Fate has been one of my new go-tos down at The Westy.
