New Beer Friday 7/16/21

It was a fairly light week of "research" with just a few local freshies to enjoy. After you've tried this week's New Beer Friday offerings, there's plenty of new beers still floating around from previous weeks. Did I miss something? Please share if I did. 

Bewilder - Altbier: This has a nice chestnut color with an aroma full of sweet grainy malt. This beer is malty with the flavors of light toast and bread crust with a good dose of spicy hops. Overall a toasty and malty German delight with assertive bitterness and dry finish. 5.0% - Available starting today at Bewilder. 

Fisher - Yet unnamed hazy pale ale: Was unable to try this as it's still in the bright tank. Ask 'em for the stuff. 5.0% at Fisher Today.

Shades - Double Trub'l: This is a new addition. This double IPA has large fruit hop overtones and is light on the bitterness. It pours light orange with a light head and medium mouth feel. 10.0% Available at Shades.

Surly - And The Devil makes Three: This TRIPA pours mostly clear with a muted but boozy nose. The taste follows with more heavy alcohol some citrus peel and pine. For such a big beer it seems to lack the characteristics that you'd expect from a Triple IPA. 10.6% - Found at Slackwater 

Surly - Mapping the Multiverse: This Hazy IPA punches out with citrus, pineapple, vague stone fruit and kiwi. Mild grass and herbal hop notes toward the end. A bit of booze warmth in the finish. This is a fine hazy, but not great. 7.3% - Found at Slackwater. 

Robinson - Old Tom: Missed this one. It's described as being rich and warming with a cherry brandy like color and character. This strong ale has a booming balance of ripe malt, and peppery hops combined with roasted nut and chocolate flavours with a smoky richness. A distinctive deep port wine finish with bitter hops balance complemented by heady, vinous aromas of dark fruit. 8.5% - Found at the Bayou.

Robinson - Chocolate Tom: This chocolate version is a rich combination of Robinsons’ Old Tom and the cocoa. It's a full bodied strong ale filled with the flavor of sweet malt and velvety smooth chocolate teased together with an inspired touch of Madagascan bourbon vanilla. 6.0% - Found at the Bayou.

Prost!
