Real Ale Devil's Backbone:
Howdy folks and welcome to your source for Texas brew knowledge.  Well maybe not, but that be really cool if it was, right?  One can dream… Anywho, today we do jump back to the Great State of Texas and have a real frank conversation (as opposed to what, a fake Frank?) about Real Ale’s Summer Release- now available year around- Devil’s Backbone. Named after a ridge that runs between those two megalopolises in Texas,  Wimberly and Blanco, the beer is a triple Belgian style that is born of the styles made famous by those European dudes who make really good beer as well.  The beer pours well with a cream gold color with a thick white head that sticks around for most of the beer’s consumption and a nose of fruits, breads and a touch of spice. The initial taste is very fruit based, like overly ripe fruits that have been blended with a biscuit and booze, oh such delicious booze.  The middle tongue and back-end taste is very malty and have a nice spicy orange flavor to them that isn’t too over powering and it finishes with a touch of skunk as the after taste.  A very nice brew and, in my humble opinion, probably the best Real Ale I’ve had so far this year.  Totally worth a 6 pack purchase.
