Check out the individual Socials for more details on the events above. Now on to the new beers.
RoHa - Brewers Select (Game Blouses): This is a Hazy IPA features Citra and Mosaic, Big citrus peel flavors here with some strawberry as well. It’s simple and effective. It’s well hopped with some resiny smack towards the finish. Excellent hop combo… always. 7.0% - Available today (Friday).
RoHa - FestBier: RoHa's take on a German style Fest Bier. Toasty crackers aroma with some caramel maltiness. Taste is similar. It’s a balances out with the malty and toasty grains. Some herbal hops at the end. 5.0% - Available Saturday, at RoHa's Oktoberfest.
TF/Purpose Brewing - Tomatillo Sour: This Belgian Style Barrel-Aged Farmhouse lager is a collaboration between Templin Family and Peter Bouckaert of Purpose Brewing & Cellars. In August 2023 Bouckaert came to SLC to collaborate with the Templin's for yet another "limited-edition" barrel-aged sour. They went really far out this time with the recipe and Bouckaert even brought his own inoculated oak cask from Purpose Brewing to age in.
Cool color, kinda golden bronze. Mouthwatering aroma; dusty dry like a Geueze with some minor balsamic character and those brettanomyces "horse blanket" notes. Mostly citrus up front unripe tropical fruits too. Oak is next with a hint of that tomatillo twang. As it warms you do get some of those Prickly Ash–peppercorn notes, lightly scratching the back of the throat. Not overly tart, Brilliant, just brilliant. 6.2% - Available now at TF or at Purpose Brewing.
TF - Hoppy Invasion: This beer is from the award winning home brewer Zach Belles, This West Coast IPA features: Warrior CO2 hop extract (boil) Mosaic, Citra T-90, Citra, Citra Dyna-Boost th en a dry-hopped with a lot of Mosaic-cryo and a Krush. This collab based on a recipe by Zach Belles is to be TF Pro Am entry at GABF. Big citrus all around. A massive amount of Citra here in many forms. Ironically, it’s the Mosaic-cryo and a Krush hops that explode here in a melon/citrus bomb! 7.5% - Available at TF starting today.
Offset - Damp 25.01: This Wet Hop "XPA" features Centennial, Organic Cascade, and Amarillo. Oh my f’n G! That aroma is fresh! So much floral and citrus notes. It tastes so fresh, but not overwhelming. This isn’t a slap of hops it’s more of a “ragu” if that makes any sense? It’s a simple salad of flavors, not gaudy or goche, just wet hop bliss. 6.0% Available at Offset - I found it at The Bayou.
Hopkins - Hopkins Pilsner: Hopkins' new flagship lager features Chinook and Cascade hop with Nova Lager yeast which adds a subtle fruit character. It's so nice & citrusy. The hop bill combined with that crazy fruity yeast, makes this super crushable. Oddly enough, it’s hopped enough to dry it out in the end. 5.0% Available at Hopkins.
Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.
