Lake Placid Ubu Ale.


I first had a pint of this at the bar and had my mouth blown away and also fooled into thinking I was drinking something Belgian. It had been preceded by a pint of Yeungling so switching to something like Ubu was a big change of pace. I enjoyed it enough that I gave it a tasting at a brewfest to confirm my thoughts and picked up a sixer later. It's actually an English brown ale but much richer than your typical Newcastle. While I still get a hint of maltiness, it's not nearly as pronounced as it was the first time and it definitely lacks the body of Belgian ales. But I like it well enough.
