Trip to the Fridge – Oakshire Brewing Ill Tempered Gnome Winter Ale
I bought this 22 ouncer at the Wine and Beer Haus in Seaside, Oregon. This was the first time we sampled a beer made by Oakshire, a little brewery from Eugene, Oregon. I got to say, I really enjoyed the Ill Tempered Gnome Winter Ale. It reminds me of a Nut Brown, with more chocolate and hop presence. They have found a good balance between the dark malts and hops, so that is neither too sweet or bitter. Lush C was also fond of it. She thought it has a nice strong brown flavor with out a heavy finish. Full flavored without the heaviness.
Brewery Information:
Hoppy, Brown Ale
ABV: 6.8% / IBUs: 65 / OG: 15.5° Plato

Take a little gnome home this winter! However, don’t put him in the front yard. The neighbors might steal him & he’ll definitely lose his cool! He’s a malty, hoppy brown ale of pure winter deliciousness. Enjoy!
Good Beer Trips Description: Color: Dark Brown with a hint of Amber Clarity: Clear Head: Cream colored, smooth and lingers. Aroma: Toasted malt and light floral hoppinessBody: Medium Bodied, fairly well carbonated Flavor: very malty, with a prominent chocolate
Finish: Distinct hop, that lingers with a bit of the chocolate
Consensus: If you see it, BUY IT, but as they say don’t put him in the front yard, because I might come and steal it .
