8 Beers to Christmas: North Peak Siren
After bouncing around the world for the last two beers, it's nice to make it back to the cozy confines of the midwest. For more times than I can count, I've been meaning to try out something from North Peak in Traverse City, Michigan. Well, wait no more.
Siren is an amber ale and a fairly solid one at that. It poured a reddy mahogany with a two finger head that dissipated rather quickly. It was malty and sweet, with a hint of molasses. Hoppy and spice undertones then worked their way towards the end.
Siren wasn't an amazing beer, but it was solid and enjoyable. This yields high marks in my book. I'm glad I finally made my way to the peak. It was worth the trip.
