New Beer Friday 2/19/21

Apologies to everyone for last week's lack of content. It was a good beer week that really needed to be looked at properly, I just couldn't do it. This week is lighter, but not lacking in flavor that's for damn sure.

Hopkins - Solstice Lager: Brewed with locally grown and malted Solstice Malt pilsner, wheat, and flaked oats. Then dry-hopped with Pink Boots Hop Blend (Loral, Glacier, Mosaic, Simcoe, Sabro). Hazy, hoppy and soft on the palette with a glorious tropical bouquet. 5.0% - Only at Hopkins

Salt Flats - Luau Rider: This is Salt Flats Low Rider milk stout with toasted coconut added. You can tell that coconut is toasted right off the bat. It tastes fresh, not artificial. The base beer is sweet with lactose and the whole thing has a pastry stout feel. 7.5% - Available now at Salt Flats and the Garage Grill in Draper. 

Bewilder - Dos Hazy Boi: This DNEIPA Pours with slight haze and is orange in color. On the nose I get orange, grapefruit pith, passionfruit flowers, honey and pine. On the palate a creamy orange, tangy, sweet and salty rounded malt hits first followed by a dry hoppy center. A tingly grapefruit, honey, floral and honey rides with it and adds a tang to the sides an tip of the tongue. Hops are more citrus pith and the malt holds it all together for a well balanced beer. 8.0% - Available today starting at noon. 

Kiitos - Light Lager: The beer pours a brilliantly clear pale yellow color with a thin white head that fades to spotty lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a sweet pale malt scent that quite close in style to a German bavarian lager. There is little in hop aroma. Taste is pleasant and refreshing with some fruit and honey notes found. As light lagers go this is much better than most. It has a refreshing taste and would be great to drink several of on a hot summer afternoon. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos.

What did I miss? I know there's something else out there.

Cheers!
