Blueberry and apple up front followed by a light fruit sweetness that fades faster toward the end. The dryness of the cider helps to cut the sweetness on the end and through the finish.

After working in the yard and cleaning stuff up since we're getting closer to spring/lake season, I figured I would start cleaning up what was left in the fridge from September/October since we didn't come back down to the lake like we were expecting to.

I think this is about 4 months old at this point, but I'm not 100% sure. The extra age on it, for an NEIPA, has toned down the coconut/pineapple flavors of the Sabro hops immensely and makes the malt more to the front instead of it being a juice bomb.

It isn't as malt heavy and caramel sweet as the vast majority of Märzens which is a nice change of pace, and makes it much easier to drink. It is slightly over hopped for the style because there is a fruitiness to it that is not typically found in the...

On the porch with the chiminea lit, good weather and one of my favorite beers.

Not a hint of wind and the water is still as can be, which is always nice when you're sitting on the porch at the lake.

After getting the boat cleaned up, it's time to start the weekend on the water off right.

🇺🇲 Happy 4th from the lake. 🇺🇲

Light caramel up front with a mild toasted biscuit flavor. The hops are well balanced against the malt & also don't overwhelm the rye flavor toward the end. As it warms up the caramel sweetness & rye gives way to the malt through the first half & hops.

Light-bodied up front but gets a bit heavier toward the finish. The Saaz hop bite hits about half way through. The one draw back is the sweetness that continues to build & lasts through the finish, which keeps the finish from being very clean and crisp.

Whirlwind trip to Branson yesterday afternoon for work. Hit all three stores this morning, unloaded about 2 pallets worth of shirts total and organized the floor at each. Now it's time to enjoy a weekend at the lake.

Bottled: 03/28/2023 When cold you get a light yeast flavor up front before the malt sweetness takes over midway through. As the beer warms the yeast comes out more on the aroma but fades to the back on the flavor & the malt sweetness comes forward.

Light & very refreshing. A hint of tart lemon up front that quickly transitions into slightly sweet lemon rind, w/ a floral note that shows up about ⅔ the way. The rice helps dry out the finish along w/ the carbonation & keeps the sweetness balanced.

A light tartness up front that last throughout backed up by a mildly sweet jelly flavor. The body of the beer is A LOT thicker than any other sour I've had. The roasted peanut is noticeable on the aroma for a few minutes after pouring it. The peanut...
