Sunday Night Suds - New Belgium Mary Jane Ale


This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium Mary Jane Ale.

Although not a new beer, the New Belgium Mary Jane Ale is new to the East Coast as it has been nationally distributed as part of the Winter Variety Pack which includes standard bearer Fat Tire (reviewed here  https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/12/sunday-night-suds-new-belgiums-fat-tire.html); Accumulation (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2015/02/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium.html) and Snow Day (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-snow-day.html).

The Mary Jane Ale is an American Pale Ale and the first sip had good pine and hops. There is a fair amount of carbonation and successive drinks over the half hour this was on my shabbos table did not disappoint. The beer was a little more bready than I expected, but the hops were present throughout. I was surprised to learn that the beer is only 4.5% abv as the taste was not weak in the slightest. This beer would be a good accompaniment to chicken dishes or light stews, but this is not strong enough for a cholent or steak.

The New Belgium Mary Jane Ale under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, and their symbol is on the bottom of the mix box. However, not every brew produced by New Belgium is under kosher supervision.
