New Beer Friday 6/23/23

As summer eases on in, our local brewers provide a wide array of easy drinking ales and lagers. Every new beer out this week is all simple and fun - a great start for summer. 

Also today, TF's Squirrel: The gold medal winning NEIPA for 2023 is back with a fresh batch! The hype is real, I snagged a taste last night and it's all you're hoping for. If you want your share, I'd suggest getting your ass in line early today, because the traders & Beer mailers are going to be all over this. Run don't walk. 

Desert Edge's Head Brewer, Matt Burdick is our guest today on Beer Nerd Radio. Matt has seen a lot and is now charged with taking Desert Edge to the next level. This will be great discussion. It all starts at 2pm today on 99.9fm KUAA. And don't forget to stream us here. 

RoHa - Finger Picking Pilsner: RoHa's first in-house Pilsner ever! Made with Comet, Idaho 7 & Mosaic hops. It comes across quite traditional. The hop combo mimics classic Euro hops with a hint of citrus, berry & melon. It finishes with a nice herbal zap. 5.0% - Only at RoHa

TF - The Gold Standard: This is the Kellerbier base made with whole leaf Mandarina Bavaria Hops. It’s very similar with exception of citrus peel and clover blossoms. Familiar and different at the same time. Crazy good! 5.0% - Only at TF.

Proper - Sun Is Shining: Definitely some southern hemisphere hops here. Not hoppy in a classic Pils way, more IPL/Cold IPA style. Fruity & citrusy. Tastes quite nice. 5.0% - At all Proper locations. 

Proper - Pink Boots Blonde: Getting some nice melon & peach - berries too. Not as herbal as many 2023 Pink Boots beers I've had. iS This is quite nice. 5.0% - At all Proper locations. 

Kiitos - Strawberry Blonde: Strawberry is light, base beer is lightly malty, a great combo. Thought it would be super sweet, but all quite subtle. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos

Beer Zombies - Zombie HWip (Orange Coconut Vanilla Tangerine): Missed this fruited sour ale. 8.0% - Only at Beer Zombies SLC 

Beer Zombies - Hops From Above (2023): This DDH Double Hazy IPA is exploding with Citra & Galaxy hops! Look for aromas of pomelo, juicy citrus fruits mixed with flavors of candied peach rings, passion sorbet and over ripe melons. 8.2% - Only at Beer Zombies SLC.
