New Beer Friday 2/11/22


Kiitos - Hobble CreekIf you were to say, “this beer tastes like Utah”. This might be the one. This pale ale was made with sage, juniper & elderflowers. The result is an herbal ale with tons of character & local ingredients. Tasty stuff. 5.0% - On draft at Kiitos.

Bewilder - Cosmic Pop: Made with a special Cryo hop blend known as TRI 2304. This Bursts with citrus, both meat and peel - some melon as well. A pleasant bitter finish rounds it out. It's not crazy bitter but it lightly lingers. 6.8% - Available at Bewilder in 16 ounce cans starting today. 

Epic - Experimental IPA #3This is mostly a throwback to the early 21st Century IPAs; Lots of Centennial and Amarillo with a sweet caramel base. Not a lot of breweries making old school shit right now. Give it a go. 6.8% - Only at Epic to-go in crowlers.

RoHa - False Profit Hazy IPAPours a light amber color with slight haze, typical, but the off-white head is thick and frothy and sticks around for a while. Aroma is fairly hoppy, if not strongly so, with an undertone of grapefruit and orange. Flavor is hoppy and woody, slightly bitter, a little fruity - mainly orange and grapefruit with light malt sweetness.Texture is fairly smooth, lively and fizzy, leaving a fairly persistent tingle. 7.0% - Available at RoHa in 16 ounce cans starting today. 

Desert Edge - 1972 IPA: This came in late, sorry I missed it. 6.6% Available at Desert Edge.

Desert Edge - Red LagerThis came in late, sorry I missed it. 5.0% Available at Desert Edge.

Desert Edge - English Brown (nitro)This came in late, sorry I missed it. 5.0% Available at Desert Edge.

Shades - Hazy Brah!: This newly formulated IPA features: Mosaic, Motueka and whole cone Simcoe. Look for a citrusy and herbal punch! 7.0% - Available at both Shades locations.

Offset - Citra Single Hop: Missed this one. Only Citra in the kettle whirlpool and dry-hop. 6.5% - Only at Offset. 

Cascade - Honey Mile: This is a sour rye ale aged in oak barrels and foudres for up to one year, then infused with dried chamomile flowers, local wildflower honey and fresh lemon zest. Like a cozy cup of chamomile tea, Honey Mile offers a delicate floral flavor, vivacious citrus aroma and a kiss of honey sweetness. 5.5% - Found at Slackwater 

Sierra Nevada - Powder DayThis is a classic WCIPA. Dank citrus nose with stone fruit and melon. Citrus is forward on the taste; picking up tangerine and grapefruit flavors, and there’s also a substantial berry note, which is absolutely delicious, with melon and some malt sweetness in the back for balance. 7.7% - Widely available.  

Revision - Baggage Wagon: Missed this one. 8.5% - Found at Beerhive.

Lewis and Clark - Juicy ObSession: Missed this one. Citra and Mosaic hops are blended throughout the brew with lots of late additions and dry-hopping. 5.0% - Found at Salt and Hops.

This Sunday there will be a special firkin competition to celebrate the Super Bowl, featuring Kiitos and RoHa. The pin that's closest to empty by closing, wins the day. 


Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing. Curious to try that Red Velvet Cake!

Cheers!
