Homegrown Beer No. 6
Bale Breaker Brewing Company

Lightly hazy, biscuits on the nose. Frothy head. Mild bitterness, almost Pale Ale territory. Medium dry, very clean with a suggestion of fruit from the hops and a pronounced malt base. Carbonation is good, mouthfeel is pleasant. A well done beer, representative of Bale Breaker's style. I guess with 100% home grown ingredients they're not going into wide distrbution. Get any of this series.

 

Slightly hazy yellowish brew with plenty of foam in the Hopleaf goblet. The aroma is downright odd, sort of old fruit and overripe plum. Sweet and juicy with orange and a touch of lemon peel. Finishes with some astringency and scratchy, piney taste. Rather bitter aftertaste though the sweet notes continue.

Some acidic murk, but quite drinkable for a hazy brew. Found this one at the local grocery story. From the 16 oz can packaged on March 01 2021.

Pours a murky, hazy, dank looking orange color. This beer has a nice, fluffy looking 2 finger white head. The head has good retention, and there's some nice lacing clinging to the side of the glass.
The nose is a nice tropical aroma. I am having a tough time pulling out individiual aromas, but I'll say that they all work together, and smell good.
Taste - Like the nose, I'm having trouble pulling out individual flavors from the hops. I do get pineapple, and am getting more, that I can't pin down.
The body is pretty good. There's a bit of a juicy element here. The hops linger in my throat.
I am enjoying this beer.

There is a great family tradition here going back to great grandpa who started growing hops in the Yakima, Washington area in 1932. Now, the grandkids grow barley too and are the only brewery I know that grows all their own hops and barley on site. This hazy IPA is very good and comes in a pint can rating 7.1% ALC. and 35 IBU. Buy it, you'll like it!
