Can you tell that I'm looking forward to Dune Part 2 This weekend? Anyway, welcome to the first New Beer Friday of March 2024. There are some excellent options for you to enjoy this weekend - regardless your activity. Stay dry this weekend!
Beer Nerd Radio is back with a new brewery collaboration episode. We get it started every Friday at 2pm on 99.9FM KUAA
Uinta - Trop Nosh: Re-formulated with L3 and dry hopped with Sabro, Bru-1 and El Dorado. Wow, west coast leaning for sure. Sweet citrus up front that bleeds into peach, coconut and melon. Firm bitterness for sure, but it doesn’t linger too much. The 8.0% abv is pretty well hidden. Tasty stuff! 8.0%
Uinta-Chile Limón: This looks to be a take on Uinta’s Lime Pilsner with addition of salt and chile spices. Nice lime aroma. Lime starts it off with a medium to light amount of scratchy pepper. It’s not too intense, but if you’re not a fan of chile peppers at all, this may be too much for you. 5.0% - Available at Uinta
Level Crossing - Eternal Pursuit: This new barrel-aged Belgian dark strong ale Dark Fruits dominate here. Not in a Holiday or winter warmer fashion, but in bold blend of barrel meets opulence. As expected the flavors are an incredible blend- raisins, toffee, tawny port, dates, caramel, oak, vanilla, leather and semi-hot but balanced alcohol. The port comes through beautifully and serves to really highlight the dark fruit notes of the base beer. Outstanding. 8.8% - Available at both Level Crossing locations.
Level Crossing - Day Tripper: This new pale ale features Strata, Citra, Azaka and Chinook hops. Aroma is bright papaya, tangerine, guava, and orange zest with lighter notes of grass. Flavor profile is more bright tropical fruits, bringing in notes of papaya, tangerine, guava, mango, and orange. It's ripe and juicy. 5.0% - Available West Temple Brewery.
Fisher - Stairway to 7: Another anniversary brew for Fisher's 7th year, features and all Idaho 7 hopped ale. The hop profile generates big flavor and modest bitterness, with significant tropical and summer fruit character, lemongrass and herbal tea. Bitterness is light and the malt profile is fairly transparent with simple pale malt base. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.
RoHa - Depths of Helles: Lagered for 7 weeks, this cereal/grainy malt forward Helles throws out toasty crackers and a traditional hop profile, p Is there? Did was Of the old beers from the previous owner Hooker blonde So that turned out really well and that keeps the whole package in balance. Some light floral hops in the finish that are not lingering. 5.0% - Available at RoHa
Heber Valley - Volution (Strata and Simcoe): Missed this one. look for a flavor profile of citrus that plays out like pink grapefruit, orange peel and a slight lime bite. 6.8% - Available at Heber Valley Brewing.
Park City - Hooker Blonde: To help celebrate Park City Brewing's 2nd Anniversary (under its new ownership) PC Brewing is looking into the past and re-releasing Hooker Blonde (from the previous owners). I haven't had this version yet, but I trust head brewer, Troy Higgins has put is own spin on this blonde ale. 5.0% - Available at PC Brewing.
Moab - Moab Bulleit Bourbon & Brown Ale: Malty and toasty nose - not much whiskey. It’s a 5.0% Brown Ale, so you’re not going to get a lot of whiskey character - and there’s not a lot of the Bulleit happening here. It is a damn delicious beer regardless. Some oak, but there’s not much whiskey. 5.0% - Available at Moab Brewing - I found it at The Tap Room.
Salt Lake Brewing - O'Caden's Irish Red Ale: Looks sexy! Toasty, not too malty or hoppy. The whole beer is fairly tame and doesn’t push you towards Irish or American styles. Clean malt profile with mostly floral hops. No lingering bitterness. I hope it last til St Pat’s Day. 5.0% -Available at SL Brewing.
Chappell - MeSoGosa!: This refreshing tart ale starts with a base of pilsner malt and rice, Chappell brewed this beer with a hint of white miso for a pop of salt and umami. Then Yuzu and crisp ginger was added to bring out more citrus qualities. 5.0% - Available at Chappell.
Bewilder/Lauter Day Homebrewers - Malt Lab Baltic Porter: Aroma is almost raisin-like, kinda like it but not expected. Taste is an excellent baltic porter, malty and some fruit, kinda raisin/date like the smell. Light to medium bodied with very little carbonation. Simple but tasty! 6.5% -Available at Bewilder.
