*****  Fungus actually IS one of those rare bands who've got their own signature beer. And Fungus don't just have one special signature beer. It now comes in TWO flavours. The original one is now known as "Fungus Bruin" and the new one is called "Fungus Blonde". Here is some information about the beers... Fungus Bruin Fungus Blonde Type: Wheat ale Color: Brown Malt: Bavarian wheat and bavarian chocolate Hops: Cascade, Fuggles Yeast: Belgian Abbey Ale (Brewer's Choice) Alcohol: 4,5%-6% (different batches) Batches brewed: 3 Though the taste, quality and even color has varied from batch to batch, the initial one tasted of everything from grapefruit to chocolate to bananas and the followers have been similar. The bitterness and wheat ale nature of the beer makes it very refreshing and it has been very popular among both beer enthusiasts and people who are not really that into beer. Serve cold, and if you like, with a slice of lemon. :) Type: Belgian triple Color: Yellow/amber Malt: Bavarian pilsner and caramel pilz Hops: Magnum, target, saaz Yeast: Belgian Abbey Ale (Brewer's Choice) Alcohol: estimated to be around 9% Batches brewed: 2 This is, in a way, the Evil Twin of the original Fungus. Ok, of course all Funguses are evil, but instead of being dark, bitter and easily drunk, this one is lighter in color, tastes sweet but is much stronger and definately not as easy to chug down like it's sibling. There's an orange-like taste that can be attributed to the use of Coriander in the brewing. It's also as sweet as the other brew is bitter, so this is no ordinary beer. To those of you who are into Belgian Triples, this might be a bit reminiscent of Montagnarde. Store and serve this beverage cold. The high gravity (attributed to both the low amount of water and the use of syrup in the brewing process) makes this a drink to savour, rather than just a way to quench your thirst. Therefore, the beer will have gotten warmer before you finish the glass anyway, releasing more and more flavours and aromas you'd never find in your average Bud. Despite problems like cloudiness that requires sub-zero temperatures to get rid of, or the fact that it needs much more time than Fungus Bruin to mature, it has turned out to be another fine brew I find deserving of proudly bearing the name "Fungus".
