R. Shea Brewing - Merriman Valley

 

 

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured a slightly hazy orangish with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had dank melon fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with melon fruit base and boozy highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Hazy light orange with a modest head that dissipates quickly. Lacing is visible on the glass. The aroma is subdued, citrus and white grapes. kind of unusual. the taste is a nice blend of sweet and bitter. I think the balance is right on the mark. Flavor - the white grape flavor is even more prominent in the flavor. It might take a little getting used to because it is a deviation but I am finding that as I drink it, I am liking it more and more. Mouthfeel is medium full with soft carbonation and a surprisingly clean finish. I don't really know if they will produce this again but I would definitely buy it again if they do.
