A drier IPA for the summer, brewed with French Aramis hops to create an aroma of fresh cut flowers and garden herbs.

July 7th, 2015 - New Belgium's French Amaris is a curious brew. To the eye it looks a lot like a blond ale, thick and heavy with shaving cream style foam up top. The nose features some mild tangerine and a lemon freshness, as does the taste. But the flavor ropes in some subtler marshmallow sweetness as well. Fluffy and nice, it's a soft and gently fruity beer with a whipped citrus note to clear the palate.

From the bottle, it pours amber with a nice, fluffy off-white head, which lasts a bit. Lacing as the beer is enjoyed. The nose detects some floral hops. The mouth enjoys the welll balanced flavor. Yum!

This is an American Pale Ale brewed with French Aramis Hops as part of their Hop Kitchen series. It begins in a frothy pour, a massive head that eventually settles into a cloudy amber color. The head is gummy and leaves a clotty resin along the glass rim. There is a pleasant floral nose and the palate is tickled with bits of honey, herbs and hops. Mildy sweet without being cloyingly so. The body is crisp, airy and refreshing. A decent beer that makes for a refreshing summer quaff. Would I drink more than two at a single sitting? Probably not, but it is tangy, unique and worth a taste.
