New Beer Friday 7/10/20

 After last week's massive New Beer Friday, I'm not surprised that this week's offerings are a little meager. It actually made for a pleasant "research" day. All three of these beers are quite nice and worth checking out. 

Toasted Barrel - Coffee and Cream Brown Ale: It's quite light in body with a nice coffee aroma. The taste starts lightly malty with with added toasty grains. The coffee shows up more towards the end with some added lactose sweetness. It adds a cappuccino quality to the brew. Overall it quite refreshing considering the style. 5.0% Available at Toasted Barrel *Not Vegan friendly

Shades - Orange Creamsicle: Whoa. Big orange aromas from a beer that looks like OJ. The flavor is as you'd expect, lots of juicy, tart orange. Most of the tartness comes from the base beer and it helps keep the citrus from becoming overly sweet. The vanilla part is subtle and less pronounced than you'd find in the classic Dreamsicle treat. Still, it is noticeable and if your a fan of the frozen treat you'll really love this take on it. 6.5% - Available at Shades  *Not Vegan friendly

Illuminated Brew Works - King Felix: Hazy orange in color. The aroma had some ruby red grapefruit pulp and rind, sweet to bitter, light lemon juice with a bit of sweet pine. The flavor was juicy sweet with the bitterness embracing the backbone very well. And steadily lead into the aftertaste to ride nicely into the finish. 7.5% Found at Slackwater (Sandy).

Did I miss something? Please share, if I did.

Cheers!
