New Beer Friday 06/25/21

UTOG - Mother Puck'n Mango: Sour notes: wheaty, bready, and light mango. Definitely getting those traditional tart, sour and bready flavors. Nice mango flavor that doesn't overpower the base beer Overall: Nice sour with complimentary mango flavors. Looking forward to the next can I have in the fridge. 6.5% Available at UTOG

Epic - Rocky Mountain Chai: This is a cream ale at its base with chai spices. The nose is massive with Spicy botanicals, ginger, cardamon, white pepper, orange peel, cinnamon and clove. The taste follows with equal intensity as this spicy beast envelopes your senses. There's a lingering spicy finish. 5.5% Available at Epic 

Desert Edge - Ete Saison: Pours golden in color with a finger worth of fluffy white head. Aroma has spicy citrus and clove with a hint of a honey-like sweetness. A bouquet of different spices -- so many it's almost hard to pick each one out. Taste is not overly sweet (a common complaint I have with these style interpretations), yet it's not overly dry. Citrus and spice rapidly cycle. A primarily dominant lemony-citrus flavor emerges, but it is then quickly cut by a varietal of different spices. A bit of spicy ginger finishes the sip. 6.1% Available at Desert Edge

Proper -Death in the Afternoon: This is a rum barrel aged Gose made with passion fruit, guava and coriander. The rum comes through nicely in the aroma along with lemon and guava. The taste starts with a briny bite that transitions into the passion fruit and then the barrel. There's a fair amount of wood that along with the sodium, mellows the tartness from the Gose. 7.5% Available at Proper.

Proper - Key Lime Ale on Nitro: The name says it all, and it delivers. The nitro conditioning gives this a nice creaminess that kinda pushes this into sorbet or gelato territory. It's not sweet at all, but the gas gives it a nice round feel. Tasty stuff. 5.0% Available at Proper 

Wasatch/Three Weavers - Collaboration IPA: This IPA has a slightly hazy pale gold color, large frothy white head with good retention, nice lacing. Plenty of carbonation streaming as it sits. A nice aroma of pithy tangerine, grapefruit and lemon. The taste follows with pineapple, mango and papaya along with a little bit of stone fruit. Modest pine, dank, malt sweetness and grass notes. Solid malt backbone. Worth your time. 7.0% Available at 

Bewilder - Blackberry Passion Fruit: A nice nose of mostly lemony yogurt and blackberry. The tastes starts with a bit of sulfur then transitions into lemon, then passion fruit with the blackberry rounding it out.  Nice berry profile. 5.0% Available at Bewilder.

Shades - Tropical Storm: Pouring a standard hazy appearance, the light goldenrod finish on the appearance is topped with an arid, cottony froth. A robust tropical perfume rolls off of the foam before a light and malty sweetness graces the tongue with sourdough, saltwater taffy and fruit juices. Then as the acidity washes away the sweetness, a quick middle palate of of passionfruit, crabapple, lime, lemon and white grape rise to the forefront and is backed with gooseberry, pineapple, grapefruit and papaya. High praise for its tropical fruit portrayal, the beer even quicker late palate is sour with the medley of citrus and orchard fruit directly behind the exotic tropical taste. 6.5% Available at Shades

Three Weavers - Cloud City: This hazy IPA has a fresh aroma of peaches, mangoes, and vague citrus fruits. Ripe mango and fresh pineapple start things off in the taste, with peach, apricot, orange, and pine running in the background. The bitterness is right upfront alongside the immediate citrus and tropical fruit flavor. 6.5% Available at UBC's West Side Tavern.

Deep Ellum - Manic Confidence: Pours a slightly hazy apricot color with pineapple, mango, peach wafting up. Sweet, sticky, hop punch out at first with light, citrus, orange, pineapple with a slightly dry finish. A  slight hint of alcohol in the finish. 8.0% Available at UBC's West Side Tavern.

Cigar City - Fancy Papers:  Light amber hazy body with a nose of mango, pineapple and orange and biscuit. Although this is well hopped, at no point is it bitter in a traditonal sense. Passionfruit, lime, grapefruit, kiwi and honeydew hit first. Mango, guava and orange play secondary rolls ahead of a fairly bitter late palate of tea and hay. Alcohol is well hidden. 6.5% Available at UBC's West Side Tavern.

Note: The West Side Tavern is no longer a full service bar. It is a literal tavern now. You can still buy "high point" beers to go though.  

St. Feuillien - FIVE: Missed this one.  5.0% Found at the Bayou on draft.

Revision - Nelson RV: Missed this one. 8.0% Found at the Bayou and Slackwater.

Revision - Hop Anatomy: Missed this one. 5.5% Found at the Bayou and Slackwater.

Lone Pine - Holy Donut Blueberry: Missed this one. 7.5% Found at the Bayou and Slackwater.

Bombastic - Attempted Murder: Missed this one. 10.0% Found at the Bayou and Slackwater.
