Name: Lip Stinger
Style: Farmhouse Ale
Brewery: MacTarnahan’s Taproom. website
Country: USA
Region: Portland, Oregon
ABV: 4.8% Abv
How served: 22oz capped bomber poured into a Boerinneken glass.
My Overall Opinion: Good. 
I paired this beer with: Grilled tilapia with a spicy marinade.
Tasted on: Wednesday April 7th, 2010.
Note: This was fermented with cracked peppercorn, but I had to use my imagination to taste any of the peppercorns in this beer. The label says Lip Stinger, so I was expecting a little bit of a spicy bite, but there was none. Now to put this in perspective, I love habanero peppers, the hotter the better, so my taste buds are immune to “low heat” and that is a possible reason why I didn’t detect any heat in this beer. Otherwise this was just your run of the mill Farmhouse Ale, nothing to set it apart from the middle of the pack in this style. It was a good beer, refreshing and went well with my meal.
