Welcome to July and a New Beer Friday that is slammed with a ton of great options for what I hope is a long holiday weekend for you. Be safe out there.
Offset - Pale Lager: Their "Pils" ups the hops a bit this round. Offset's house lager yeast tends to emphasize malt character a bit more than hops so the hop bill has been increasing each batch. 5.0% - Available at Offset.
Offset - Divi: The newest iteration of Divi gets a few more tweaks with added an enzymes to amplify the citrus/tropical flavors and aromas as well as swapping out the Citra for El Dorado. 586/Idaho7 on the hot-side and 586, Galaxy, El Dorado in the Dry-hop. 5.0% - Available at Offset.
Offset - Enigmatic LIPA: The goal with this beer was to try to make
a beer that expressed flavor and aromas similar to red fruits/berries. Offset used
red fruit forward hops but we also fermented it with a Genetically Edited Belgian yeast strain know for producing a lot of red fruit like esters. We dry hopped it with a blend of Enigma and Cashmere. Look for notes of red currant/raspberry/white wine character while Cashmere offers up some lemon lime and strawberry jam like notes. 5.0% - Available at Offset.
Offset - Lunch Laps: This was made with Phantasm; an interesting new product made from dried Sauvignon Blanc grape skins, it contains insane amounts of thiols. The hops and yeast used in this beer are also thiol forward which create incredibly strong flavors and aromas of tropical fruit combined with very little malt or hop character. It's incredibly interesting and totally unique. 4.5% - Available at Offset.
Epic - Pineapple Creamsicle IPA: I was anticipating a sweet-AF IPA. What I got was definitely pineapple forward, but less lactose for sure. Hops are vague, but they hit the bitter receptors on the tongue easy enough. This is quite enjoyable; A guilty pleasure for sure. Be careful, the 8.5% ABV is barely detectable. Only at Epic.
Silver Reef - Day Drink Believer: I missed this Golden Bock style lager from Saint George. Look for a smooth malt forward and deceptively strong, ABV 6.8%
Saltfire Anniversary Lemonene Terpene Lager: This Terpene lager is one of the best kept secrets in SLC right now. It's not a Terpene hammer but the lemonene is spot-on & 100% crushable on a hot day like today. If you're not drinking this lager over the weekend, you're dead to me. Well, maybe strongly disappointed. 5.0% - Only on draft at Saltfire
Saltfire Anniversary Berrylicious Lager: Same lager recipe as above with the addition of cherry, raspberry and plum. All of the fruits are detectable, but it's the cherry that's most prominent. Quite tasty. 5.0% - Only on draft at Saltfire
Fisher - Matador: This rye pale is very nice with a good dose of malt and rye spiciness. The hops have the typical citrus drive. 5.0% - Only at Fisher.
Proper - East-Side Paradise: This rice lager Pours a very pale gold/yellow classic lager color with a thin white head. Smells slightly nutty, floral hops, honey, grains. Taste follows the nose, has a nice slightly bitter aftertaste. Light-bodied, crisp, clean and crushable! Very nice! 5.0% - Only at Proper starting today.
Bewilder - Feelin’ Loopy: This is a collaboration with Lauter Day Home Brewers own Franklin Aguayo. Franklin was the winner of the Lauter Day Brewers Homebrew competition. This NEIPA is made with Lupomax hops. This is a citrus delight. If I didn’t know better I’d say this was dosed with juice. It’s on the lighter-side for style and perfect. It’s a citrus & tropical dream with low malt sweetness, made with Citra and Bru 1 hops. If you want a crushable IPA for a long holiday weekend, this is one of your best options. 6/3% - Very limited production. Call before making the trip. A delay in recieving the labels may push back today's planned release.
Hopkins - Extraterrestrial Sacrament: This new version of this New England-style IPA is double dry-hopped with Veteran’s Blend: Idaho 7, Talus HBC 692, Sabro, Mosaic, and HBC 630 to provide a big aroma with a thick mouthfeel from locally-grown and malted Solstice Malt. Mild Malt and flaked oats makes for a hyper-dimensional spiritual experience. 5.0% - Only at Hopkins.
Mother Earth - Project X Fractured Reality: Missed this NEIPA that features El Dorado, Citra and Triumph hops. Found at Slackwater.
Revision - Social Fermentation: Missed this NEIPA. 6.5% - Found at the Bayou.
Cheers!
