    Good Morning!

    It's that time again...you know, when Short's Brewing Company releases another installment of their 2013 specialty brew schedule...this chapter introduces a new character to the scene--

    In it's original format, Mmmkay was produced using the final runnings of Aww Jeah, our double Huma-Lupa-Licious. It garnered a huge amount of acclaim at the pub--in accordance, we decided it was worthy to be a state wide release in 2013.

    Mmmkay is scheduled to get bottled on Friday. Cheers!

    --Herman

    And how about that label? Too cool!

    MMMKay (5% ABV, 85 IBU) is an India Pale Lager, originally brewed from the second runnings of Aww Jeah. Now, built of its own accord, the nose is a dynamic explosion of hop aromas! The initial fragrances are of bold citrus fruit: guava, orange, and lemon. As the head settles, the aromas shift to fresh evergreen accents. Indicated by the light body and pale yellow appearance, malt was an afterthought, and the focus here would be hops. An array of enjoyable American hop flavors shock the palate ranging from slightly fruity to intense earthy pine. A bold bitterness dominates the finish enhanced by the clean unobtrusive nature of its lager origin.

    This one was killer at the anniversary party, can't wait for it. I'll be at the pub Friday, so would've loved to grab some while there.

    This made me laugh more than it should have.

    Will definitely be getting a sixer of this.

    I was not a huge fan of the original beer, labeled in Huma bottles. This is a slightly tweaked recipe though, right?

    Labeled in Huma bottles? This beer has never been bottled before.

    I think you are thinking of the Huma X that was released in bottles alongside Aww Jeah. Mmmkay was a draft only at the Anniversary party.
