New Beer Friday 10/13/23

We have some more Wet/Fresh beers and even a cider this week. On top of those you'll start to notice more of the cool weather beers are rolling in as well. Happy hunting. 

Today, Beer Nerd Radio digs into social media and "beer influencers". Why do they/we do it, is it useful? We'll analyze our panel of participant that include "The Meista" from Brews and Tunes, Ivan From Salt City Suds, Steph From Miss Tipsy Socks and some douche named Mikey from Utah Beer Blog. Participation from listeners is not only welcome, but encouraged for today's show. Please send question to our Instagram Beer Nerd Radio. If you'd like you question to remain anonymous please use the message option. We begin at 2pm today on 99.9fm KUAA or you can stream us here.    

Red Rock - Super Ape: This new DDH NEIPA has a wonderful fruity/hoppy aroma. Flavor is the same with added citrus, mango, pineapple & Strawberry? There’s a minor alcohol kick in the end, but overall this is damn delish. Mikey Likey. 8.2% - Available at all Red Rock locations.  

Salt Lake Brewing - Bronze Age IPL: Lagered for 5 weeks; this beer starts with a toasty, fruity and malty base. Hops are citrus forward with some berries and grass. Tastes like there might be some rye in there as well, but I don't think there is. Finishes hoppy with medium low bitterness. Mikey Likey. 5.0% - Only at SL Brewing. 

Kiitos - Lime Pilsner: This is Kiitos' Pilsner with added lime. You do get hints of lime in the nose, n]but it's mostly toasty grains and hops. The taste is similar. They're a subtle use of lime that mostly an accent of citrus. For me this is a great use of the lime. It's not an "in your face" lime pils. 5.0% - Available at Kiitos. 

 

Fisher - When the Hops Forget Your Name: This new wet hop from Fisher features 100 lbs. of fresh Amarillo hops. Citrus & Melon explode here! I love this Amarillo bomb. I don’t recall tasting this much melon from Amarillo, but it's obviously there for me and I'm all on board. Mikey Likey. 5.0% = Only at Fisher.

Fisher - Fresh Hop IPA: Tons of herbal weed and citrus drives it up front. After the hops subside, you get a great light caramel profile. It's closer to an imperial pale to me. win -win for me. Mikey Likey. 6.5% - Only at Fisher.

Strap Tank - Home Grown: This Wet Hop has a beautiful citrusy orange floral aroma. Taste follows with medium bitterness. Oily slick mouthfeel. A wet hop to look forward to. 5.0% - Available at Strap Tank Lehi.

Policy Kings - Vibetoberfest: Solid aromas of caramel malt and earthy hops with a  touch of grass. The brew has hallmark malt sweetness up front, but there is plenty of earthy and grassy hopping to balance it. 5.0% - Only at Policy Kings.

RoHa - Bing Bong Saison: Toasty base with a minimal amount of clove from the yeast. Orange peel comes in next add some twang to beer. It all finishes with a nice dose Hallertau Mittelfrüh spiciness in the end.

Revision - Coconut Pie Face: This Double Pastry Stout is loaded with toasted coconut, loads of cacao nibs and thousands of Madagascar vanilla beans on top of a rich imperial stout base. 11.7% - Found at Slackwater.

Prairie - Rhinestone Rancher: I missed this Sour Ale with Jolly Rancher green apple hard candy. 4.8% - Found at The Bayou and Slackwater.

Cheers!
