Big Sky Brewing Power Hound:
Ah hello friends and welcome to another beer that allows us to dip our toe into the frozen waters of the winter beer pool.  Yes it’s time to once again look at a winter beer and today that beer is Big Sky Powder Hound which is an American Red Ale that is more of a seasonal collaboration beer (Spring and Winter) than a straight up winter ale.  The beer pours a nice amber color with a khaki colored head that has a slight red hue and a nose of floral hops, caramel and spice.  The initial taste is seems to split itself between piney hop notes and bread malts that move towards a mostly hoppy mid tongue and a spice malt back end and after taste give this beer a warming feeling that a winter warmer should.  A good beer that with the addition of the hops makes it a memorable beer in a crowded field though probably not worth an entire six pack unless you absolutely love it.
