For Thanksgiving this year, Amanda bought a bottle of Lindemans Pêche, a Belgian peach lambic. It was really good and went well with the turkey and ham sandwiches and with the vegetable and humus. (Supper was our big meal, so it was some nice sandwiches for lunch)
Amanda said that the "beer flavor" was more noticeable than in their framboise. She was right, but I still thought it was a delicious alternative to the sparkling juices and sweet German wines that we typically drink during the holidays. I wouldn't make it my first pick for a sweet fruit beer - and it isn't an every day sort of drink - but I really enjoyed it and plan to drink it again.
Then we had supper at Karl Ratzsch's downtown. Since Thanksgiving is one of their busiest days of the year, we killed some time in their bar, and I tried the Spaten Dunkel they had on tap. It was fantastic - but I wasn't really surpised. I already know that I'm a dunkel fan, and they did it well.
