Rush River Small Axe
A cold pint of golden ale (“Um…it’s a golden ale. From Rush River.” OK then!) in the half-dark of the Sample Room. Smooth malty cracker flavor on its own. (Meghan’s review: “It’s not too carbonatey.”) Light floral hops surprised me by appearing along with the baked goat cheese and tomato, and the malt came back strong alongside the fettuccine with wild mushrooms and white wine sauce that was my favorite part of the meal. I would drink it again even if chanterelles were not involved; I’ll bet it’s equally good with pizza.
