New Beer Friday 11/19/21

Many of you may be planning your holiday getaways. If you're getting away for Thanksgiving, please bring back beer. If your sticking around like me, I have found some excellent New Beer Friday suds that'll make those excursionists wish that they'd kept their asses put!

SaltFire - Mobius Trip (Prickly Pear#2): This foeder-aged golden features the addition of prickly pear. This version features more prickly pear flavor with with medium tartness from the base beer. Oak is prominent along with some watermelon flavors in the finish. 8.0% - Only available at SaltFire.

Offset Bier - Movember (Mosaic/Motueka): Missed this pale ale, sounds tasty though! 5.0% - Only at Offset.

TF - Jarda: This Czech Pilsner starts with nice toasty and sweet crackers. The hop profile is is nice, gassy and herbal with some sneaky lingering bitterness. A great example of the style. 5.0% - Only on draft at TF.

Fisher/City Weekly - Private Eye PA: This beer is an ode to City Weekly's beginnings and is made to support local Journalism. This pale ale has an aroma that is malty, with caramel and toasted bread, plus some piney hops. The taste is the same. Sweet malt honey-like flavors, some toasty bread, and some tangerine flavors. There is some grassy bitterness in the finish. 5.0%. Available at Fisher.

Bewilder - Sauced: This beer is a sour at it's base and is dry-hopped with Idaho Gem. Cranberries, cinnamon and orange peel. Its designed to be a holiday beer. The nose has a lot of orange peel and cinnamon. taste is mildly tart with more orange peel. The cinnamon isn't too overwhelming but it does cover up the hops. 5.8% - Only at Bewilder

Epic - Cranberry IPA: Wasn't sure this would work, but it does. It has a nice malty body with noticeable citrus forward hops (Centennial/Amarillo?) the cranberry is present for sure but not overwhelming. The can says there's lactose but no sweetness that I can detect. Nice stuff. 7.5%. This will be released on Monday 11/22. 

E9 - Transmissions On Air: Missed this new IPA. 6.4% - Found at the Bayou.

E9 - Realize Real Lies: Missed this new IPA. 6.5% - Found at the Bayou.
