What beer are you drinking now? #1382

i want to go live with the Indians from F Troop and when I get there we are going to drink this beer. Morning! Do you know how delightful honey is? Cheerful stuff.




This is my first beer from this brewer. First nose shows me some honey but that seems to fade. Soft sweet hop. Woody earth. Faint cool herbal. And the lightest dry scent of honey that seems to have fled to the top. A faint fruity ester apple. The bread on the nose is lightly golden. The taste is powerful with honey. It has a substantial breadiness and finishes malty and breaddy. The honey is pretty dominant in the flavor though. It still does not add too much sweetness and the malt is crisp . Not so much bitterness but balanced well. I would say that in this beer the honey has given a little contrast to the light tang that should finish the beer. Your mouth still waters but it is a little heavy. Some residual sweetness in the finish but it held together very well. If you have it you will know what I mean and then notice the hop bitterness offsets the honey aftertaste. If you are drinking a beer where you can taste the restrained fruit quality of the bittering hop then the hops were used well. In this one it's citrus or if I had to name a fruit, orange peel. So in this one yes. The hops are alluvial hops and they demonstrate terroir because they are specially grown on rogue farm and only in their beer. The little of bit of wheat they put int he beer meshed well with the honey too . They preserved the mouthfeel and finish of the kolsch by using acidulated malt to accent that in the finish and that imo also allowed the authentic taste of the honey to come through. It puts a bit of sour in the beer via a small proportion of lactic acid and that gave your mouth to water at the finish but did not make the beer truly sour. carbonation is bubbly. A small bubble with a small bite which also puts a little something into the finish and lightens the sugar so medium dry. I really enjoyed this beer.

An American kolsch style beer made with the addition of honey. The Additional Summer. Dare Risk Dream is their slogan.

 

Good morning advocates! They say fruit is a good start to the day for you, right?

Apparently this song has been covered a lot.

This is going down way too easily this morning. I'm actually kind of looking forward to the Fall pack this year.

I may have to try that. Honey is one of my favorite ingredients when added to craft beer.

 

I have to admit I like honey very much. This beer was one I would drink more of. Cheers @JuicesFlowing

Breakfast

 

Hey y'all, I'm back from my 2 week vacation to the Southwest (Colorado, Utah, Arizona). It was plenty hot and many terrific brews were had. I tried almost 30 different beers and the best of the bunch was Juicy Banger by Station 26 in Denver, absolutely marvelous.

This beer sums up my feelings about being home after 2 weeks on the road. Bout Damn Time by 4 Noses Brewing, another very good CO brew.

Cheers!
