New Beer Friday 4/19/24

New beer and new hockey! It's a good time to be a Utah beer nerd. If you're not already going to the sold out Ogden Beer Fest, RoHa is celebrating their 7th anniversary Saturday. They have two new beers -that are worth checking out. It's also a 420 Saturday and there will be a few dank and weedy beers out there as well.

Speaking of dank and weedy, Beer Nerd Radio is doing a deep dive on West Coast IPAs. We've done a Double WC show, but this is a straight-up IPA event. Steph and Mikey are happy to have back guest tasters Libby Taylor and Teri Munn for the blind tasting. hit us up at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. 

 
Ogden Beer - New Skool: This new Cold-Style IPA features Citra Cryo and Strata hops and boy does it pop with hops. A massive Citra profile that’s all tangerine rind & zest. Malt profile is sweet and toasty; giving it an IPA feel, while have a crispy mouthfeel. Finish with a lingering medium bitterness. Mikey Likey! 7.0% - Available in 12 ounce cans at Ogden Beer. 

Saltfire Chocolate Cherry Pie Stout: All-in-all… this is a well rounded, fruited stout. The cherry is subtle. It’s not overly roasty and the basic balance is absolutely solid. This quite wonderful. Nicely done. 5.0% - Available at Saltfire. 

RoHa - 7 Cs: This 7th Anniversary pale ale is chewy with Cascade, Columbus Chinook, Centennial, Comet, Cashmir & Citra hops. Super floral aroma - citrusy and dank smelling. Taste follows with big hop flavor. Not super bitter, but it’s damn dank and chewy. This is fun to drink. 5.0% - Available at RoHa Saturday

RoHa - MEGA Cloud Seeding: This beer features Citra Mosaic and Simcoe. This is a wonderful showcase for these hops. Fresh off the line, this is slightly dank with excellent citrus qualities. Some melon & berries lurking beneath. 7.8% - Available at RoHa Saturday

TF - OG Bubba Cush: This dankity dank dank IPA debuts Saturday. 7.0% - Only at TF

Helper - Mango-Caruba Tart: Missed this one. 5.0%
