  Boston Breweries Hazard Ten Ale
  rated 3.9 16 years ago

  Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

  Hazard Ale is a dry-hopped, malty, ruby-brown brew with twice the alcohol of traditional South African beers. Boston Breweries is rolling out this beer in the spring of 2008. It is hoping to develop a niche for this brew, which in color, taste and strength represents a major departure from the typical Capetonian's beer expectations. Though it is malty and high in alcohol, the dry-hopping makes for a beer surprisingly dry in taste. It tastes neither cloyingly sweet nor particularly highly hopped. Rather, it is well-balanced with more than a hint of alcohol in the taste. This is a sipping beer to be savored.
