Offset - NZH-104: More diesel. That’s the best description I/we beer describers can give to some of these NZ hops. Melon too! Along with some nectarine & orange. I really love these hops, but they can cause some hop fatigue for dainty boys like me. The being said. Tasty stuff. 5.0% - Available at the source, found at the Bayou.
Uinta - White Bronco: This Juicy IPA has a nice mango and pineapple thing happening with these hops. Super fruity & juicy with zero bitterness. Quite nice. On the R&D tap. 5.0% - Available at the source..
Strap Tank - The Walrus: This is a traditional English Mild Ale. Look for a copper color with subtle orange hues and a creamy white/foamy head. It has a slightly heavier than medium body, but drinks super light. The taste, and aroma is nutty, bready, and biscuit forward with a subtle fruity component derived from the English yeast used. It's crushable and warming to the soul. 5.0% - Available at Strap Tank, Lehi.
Bewilder - Belgian Pale Ale: From the award winning recipe by home brewer, Dwight Howard. Generally I’m not a big fan of this style. Often too phenolic and yeast spicy. This is pretty nice. Low peppery/clove notes with an overall dry body. Well executed, it’s like they made it just for me. - Found at the source on draft.
Bewilder - Lichtenhainer: From the award winning recipe by home brewer, Dwight Howard. Hint of smoke in the nose, barely noticeable. Taste starts with a very light lemony tartness that is clean with toasty grains. Finishes light & dry. F’n high drinkability. Would have destroyed a keg or two of this last summer. Still might. 5.0% - Found at the source on draft
RoHa - Dog Tags (Fourth Tour): Great hop blend this year. This IPA is features a great citrus profile that dominates the entire beer. Some floral qualities too, but this whole package is citrus driven, which jives in most IPA palates. Right?
Hopkins - Patch Work, Pale Ale with Veterans Hop Blend: Hopkins' rotating and ever-evolving pale ale features locally-grown and malted Solstice Malt’s pale and wheat. This version features Chinook and Veteran hop blend. Look for tropical fruit and pine aroma and flavor from this hop profile. 5.0% - Available at the source.
Saltfire - Mt Naomi - Cab Franc Pilsner: Hint of vine fruit in the nose. This is vine forward for sure, but it’s not sweet. The pils base is lite as expected, and it works well with the Cab Franc varietal. It’s not sweet, though if it was a bit drier this would be a crusher. 5.0% - Found at the source on draft.
SL Brewing - My Wiiiiives Nitro ESB: Say it the name like Borat would and the name will make more sense. Great malt profile: Caramel with bit of toast. Hops are mostly floral with a hint of pine. The nitro lets this Marris Otter ESB sing. No carbonic bitterness makes this sweet without being cloying. 5.0% - Found at the source on draft.
Heber Valley - Volution V6: The 6th iteration of this two-hop hazy focuses on Simcoe & Centennial hops. Made with American 2-Row, white wheat, and flaked oats. Tangerine, pine, and "dank" flavors and aromas. Full mouth feel. Hazy appearance. 6.8% - Found at the source in 16 ounce cans.
TF - Kölsch: TF's first ever Kölsch (believe it or not) debuts today at Noon. 5.0% - Only at TF.
TF - Black Lime Sumac Sour: Debuts today at Noon. 5.0% - Only at TF.
