Bewilder - I love Juicy: A firm two fingers of white foam and a hazy bright orange. The aroma and flavor are both of tropical fruit, with a light pine finish. carries a little amount, but not much, of alcohol. Generally speaking, drinking is quite simple. a mouthfeel that is medium-full with a smooth, hop-oil finish. juicy and has a strong hop flavor. 8.0% - Only at Bewilder
TF - JESSE DELMARish: This one has the smallest head and no lacing, and it pours a very deep black hue. This smells like a vanilla cake-like texture, oak, bourbon, brown sugar, caramel, and light coconut, along with a fruity bourbon sweetness. Because of the keg's age, the coconut is a little bit light. It has a massive amount of sweetness and bourbon barrel. There is still a ton of vanilla in this, along with fading coconut, a ton of brown sugar, caramel, and molasses, among other delicious malt flavors. This has a respectable level of drinkability and is rich and creamy. It's fairly alcoholic. 12.0% - Only at TF.
Wasatch - Holiday Ale: This porter was brewed with hazelnut-shell smoked malt. Infused all-spice, ginger, and cinnamon. Available at Wasatch (Park City), West Side Tavern.
Offset - Hidden Strings (Thiolized New World Pilsner): Hidden Strings is all about pushing the limits of what Offset's brew team knows when it comes to brewing modern, hop forward beer. This is an incredibly crisp beer akin to a traditional Pilsner but with explosive aromatics and a complex flavor profile of guava, pink grapefruit, white wine and Seville Orange. A nice structured bitterness keeps such an intenselv hopped beer light on the palate. 5.8% - Only at Offest Bier.
Shades - Merry Xmas Ya Filthy Animal: This gingerbread pastry stout pours nearly black with a faint trace of ruby visible at the glasses bottom. Thin, flattened-to-a-cover mocha head.

Body is thin. 5.0% - Available at Proper.
