New Beer Friday 12/3/21

Level Crossing - Cryptoporticus: This double IPA was made using the new-ish Philly Sour yeast. First whiff gives off some lacto sour notes then explodes with dank hops. First sip is like the screech of a needle on an LP. Big sourness with equally big dankness. It’s all Sour & IPA. It’ll blow yer mind.Releases today. 8.4% - Only at Level Crossing.

Proper - Wolf of the Eclipse: This Roggenbier (rye lager) was aged in pinot noir barrels. You’d think this might be tart or sour by the Pinot noir barrels. Nunnna no... It’s actually quite balanced. The barrel is present but not overwhelming. The rye is immediately noticeable too. It’s all very balanced and quite enjoyable. Releases today. 6.66% - Only at Proper Brewing.

Proper - Novemberfest: I guess I drunkenly suggested the name for this beer & the Proper crew figured I wasn’t a complete drunk-ass idiot, so it's obviously brilliantly named. It’s a Märzen that wasn’t quite ready by Oktoberfest…. You get the idea. Such a wonder and malty lager with nice caramel & vanilla notes with medium IBUs. If you're craving a fresh Märzen, look no further. 5.0% Available at Proper. 

Fisher - Yakima Bloke: Missed this pale ale. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.

Uinta - Schmetterling Altbier: You've probably wasted enough bandwidth here to figure out I'm a total tart for Altbiers. Looking forward to trying this later this one this afternoon for sure. 5.0% - Available at Uinta. 

Bewilder - 60 Shilling: This is the second runnings or "small beer" from the forthcoming, Wee Heavy collaboration beer Strap Tank Brewing. This beer is lightly malty and hoppy; very much like an English Mild ale. Small Beers are one of the most under appreciated beers you'll come across. They're light, wonderful and mini versions of their big brothers or sisters they're emulating and definitely worth your time. 3.7% - Only at Bewilder starting today. The Wee Heavy  collaboration is coming soon.    

Firestone Walker - Cinnamon Dolce Nitro Stout: I missed this. I hope this is good, I want it to be good, but 100% of the time cinnamon is into a beer 99.9% of the beers are over spiced. Please don't be over-spice!!! 6.0% - Found at The Bayou in cans.

Cheers!
