Hilary T is drinking a Fresh As by Astro Lab Brewing at Left of the Dial
Drinking perfectly right now! Big foamy head, pillowy soft, big tropical fruit flavors, passion fruit, lychee, white wine, a little grassy/piney bitterness. So sad to this now marked “no longer in production” in Untappd!

Hilary T is drinking an All Pear Shaped by Sapwood Cellars Brewery at Left of the Dial
Brewed in 2020, bottled Dec 2021. Mixed culture rye saison aged in barrels and then refermented on pears. Still, dry, light pear sweetness, rye spices, and a mellow tart lemon, all melded together in every sip.

Hilary T is drinking a More Jasper Than All Jasper by Other Half Brewing Co. at Left of the Dial
I’ve never had Jasper, but this is a great ad for it. Hopped aggressively with Citra, which has a great range here, citrus l, papaya and berries w/ a little Cashmere-y Fruity Pebbles and some pine notes plus a little boozy heat. This is really good.

Hilary T is drinking a Very Azure by Tree House Brewing Company at Left of the Dial
As ever, that silky, creamy texture is in a class by itself. The NZ-leaning hop combo of Nelson, Motueka, Citra and Hallertau is lovely, serving up tangerine, mango, peach, lime, white wine and tropical fruits plus a mild bitterness for balance.

These beers pour comically well, super smooth with a nitro-like creaminess. Orange, mango, honeydew melon on the nose and taste. Still a little hot (canned 5/17), grassy, but mostly just big citrus, more one note than other TH beers. Great note, though.
