Silver Reef - Irish Dry Stout: Missed this one. 5.0% - Available at Silver Reef's brewery.
RoHa - Hazy IPA: Beer poured a slightly clouded orange with a smallish white head that has some okay hang time. Nose was a moderate combination of oranges and mango. Taste follows the nose, a nice blend of orange and mango over a moderate malt base. Finish was more balanced with trace bitterness. 5.0% - Available at RoHa today.
Bewilder - Low Hanging PHruit: This is a NZ style pils made with Moutere, Nelson Savin & Nectaron hops with thiolized Lunar Crush yeast and house blended lager yeast with Phantasm powder! Between this NZ hop blend, the thiolized yeast & the Phantasm; I can promise you you’ve never had a Pils, (NZ or otherwise) like this. Big citrus peel & vague berries. Damn tasty. 5.0% - Releases today on draft and in cans.
Bewilder - Spelt Lager: This small batch beer debuts today. No notes on this. 5.0% - At Bewilder.
Strap Tank/Proper - Buggy No.9/Thunder Cougar: Just to be clear, this collaboration has two different names. The Strap Tank is called Buggy No. 9 and Proper's is Thunder Cougar. Anyway, this Australian Sparkling Ale is brightly carbonated with a light grassy aroma. Malts are toasty and sweet with some fruitiness from the yeast. Hop again are grassy and herbal which comes from the imported Pride of Ringwood Hops. An effervescent brew that creates big hoppy burps. 5.0% - Available at Strap Tank's locations, Proper Brewing and Slackwater.
Park City - Limoncello Sour: More lemon than lactic tartness here, which creates a lemon forward beer that's not abrasively sour. Fresh tasting for sure. 5.0%
Offset Bier Company - Slarve: A modern approach to brewing pilsner that explores the concept of thiols and their unique tropical flavors and aromas. 5.0%
2 Row - Spring Fever IIPA: Missed this Impy IPA that features Citra, Galaxy and Motueka hops. 8.1% - At 2 Row today in 12 ounce bottles and Growlers.
Ogden Beer Co. - Cougar Juice: Missed this Strata hopped American wheat with tangerine purée. This is the first beer released under OBC. 5.0% - Only at Ogden Beer Co.
Proper - Snake Jazz: This is the same basic recipe as the collaboration Aussie Sparkling Ale above, but hopped with Ruwaka and Motueka. Look for a slightly fruitier and less dry version than the Thunder Cougar. 5.0% - Only at Proper.
Beer Zombies - Zombie HWhip: This "smoothie" beer features Passion Fruit, Papaya, Peach and Pineapple. This shit is THICK. Smells like a fruit salad, tastes the same with papaya leading the way. This doesn’t taste terrible, but holy shit, Jamba Juice doesn’t make anything as sweet & fruit forward as this. 8.0% - Only at Beer Zombies.
Illuminated Brew Works - Your Weird Uncle's Bad Ideas: This "Double Dry Hopped Double IPA" features Rakau ,Mosaic, & Amarillo, Strawberry and Marshmallow flavor. 8.0% - Found at Slackwater.
DESTIHL - Deadhead IPA Series (Looks Like Haze): This Hazy IPA features Columbus, Mosaic and Idaho 7 hops, creating a harmony of citrus, tropical fruit & pine aromas and flavors. 7.0% - Found at Slackwater.
Wild Barrel - Vice peach Pineapple: New to our market, Wild Barrel hails from from San Marcos, Ca. Missed this one as well. 5.2% - Found at Slackwater.
