Beer Nerd Radio has another of our Sensory Beer shows. The kick this week is that our guest’s tongues won't know what they’re having until we begin. Check out the chaos starting at 2pm today (Friday) on 99.9FM KUAA.
Roha - Brewers Select (In The Shade Cold IPA): Fermented cold like a pilsner then pounded with Elani, El Dorado, and Rakau hops give it a big blast of tropical fruit flavors with just a hint of sweet citrus zest. The super easy drinking and light body makes this hop bomb shine.
RoHa - Vanilla Porter: I'm not in dark beer mode right now. But when I see a vanilla stout or porter, I stop & ponder the situation. Pulling the trigger on this one I got a good amount of char from the base beer with vanilla that takes from espresso to cappuccino. Dry not sweet.
Saltfire - A Series of Singularities (Styrian Wolf): Big flowery aroma. Intense flavors of floral, tropical fruit and citrus notes. This is a high alpha acid beer so the flavors are all amped-up, but the bitterness is fairly restrained, but absolutely noticeable. WCIPA for sure with lingering bitterness.
TF/Melvin Collaboration (Ox Blood): It’s a very dark amber color with super toasty aroma. It looks quite malty but it’s more restrained flavor-wise. Light caramel with toasted bread starts it off. Great grassy/ herbal hop profile. The whole package is great & very true to style.
Ogden Beer/Melvin Collaboration (Monte Crispo): This West Coast Pilsner is definitely unfiltered and has a big citrus aroma. The hop bill consists of Cashmere, Vista and Eldorado hops. Love the hop profile more citrus with herbal hops and hint of peach/cantaloupe. excellent stuff one of my favorites of the Melvin Pie and Beer Day Taptakeovers.
Melvin - Double Dry Hopped Star Valley: Peachy aroma, love those Nectaron hops. Flavor starts the same with nice dank-ish peach forward hops. The body is light but the overall big flavor balances it out. Tasty sesh IPA. 5.0% Found at HandleBar.
Melvin - Huckleberry Pie: Missed this one. 5.0% Found at HandleBar.
Melvin - Double Dry Hopped Pils Boutique W/ Necaron: 5.0% Found at HandleBar.
Wiley Roots- Great Barrier Teefs: Love the can artwork. Beer looks great too, a nice clear amber hue. A hop bill of Mosaic, Riwaka & Wakatu hop offer flavors of caramel, berries, strawberry, melon and herbs. Low ABV makes this very crushable. 5.8% - Found at HandleBar.
Prairie - Struck By Lightning, Bit By Cobra: That’s a big-ass can for a big-ass beer (19.2 oz). There’s a lot happening here. Boozy with lotsa citrus and 100 IBUs. It’s basically a WC-TRIPA. I like it but it’s a bit much for a super tall boy can. 11.0% - Found at Handlebar.
