Beer Review: The Men’s Room Original Ale by Elysian

A damn fine ale

A local radio show here in Seattle paired up with Elysian –  one of the micro-breweries in Seattle – to brew a beer. I happen to be a fan of the show so I thought I would give it a whirl.

What can I say?  For a bunch of drunks it is actually a damn fine ale.  Granted they didn’t make but helped create the recipe so I guess it would turn out since the creation of the beer was left in the capable hands of the Elysian brewers.  The beer is golden brown like an ale is supposed to be and is pretty smooth.  This beer has a very prominent floral taste which was surprising to me.  The beer is 5.4 abv and is really not bitter and has a very nice finish.  It was damn easy to drink and I could see how it would be easy to drink a few pints without even noticing it.  Some of the proceeds of this beer go to a charity so while you drink you can have a warm fuzzy feeling without actually getting buzzed.

Unfortunately this beer isn’t being bottled yet and is usually fairly quick to go.  I don’t think Elysian is brewing huge batches of it either and with the radio show pimping the beer it sounds like a recipe for a beer to go quickly.

The good: Easy to drink ale some proceeds go to a charity

The bad: Limited quantities
