Kane Brewing (2019)

The BA Coffee Bean one is the one I want to try most. The coconut in past years IMO has been the best but adding the marshmallow has seemed to make it too much from what I’ve read.

 

Had BA Coffee Bean, Chunkey Monkey and PB Chocolate Omna on tap Sunday. I feel like past Omna variants have been better. I liked the Coffee and Chunkey Money but I think I like the PB Chocolate the most

 

I found the coffee Port Omna to be amazing. It's the most bourbon-forward aged coffee bean I've experienced in either coffee or beer, and it comes without the booze. Woody, peppery, very unique. And the coffee itself is earthy and savory, in a delicious underlying stout with a moderately thick but soft body--wonderful to me.

 

I said to my cousin it was very barrel forward. I enjoyed it a ton

 

New cans today: brand new beer called whitehall oated and wheated citra and mosiac IPA then they did a DDH version of Indicators. Looks like still have cans of regular indicators left as well.

If any1 goes and grabs or tries whitehall let me know how it is. We have friends visiting so can't make it out today but might swing by tomorrow if its still around and if feedback is good!

 

i am enjoying it fruity and tropical mild bitter on the back end for kane. Solid beer.

 

I was down in Asbury Park over the weekend for a family party, and grabbed cans of Whitehall and DDH Indicators. The mosaic really shines in Whitehall.

I had the added bonus of there being an open bar at the party and they had head high on tap. My wife ended up driving us home haha.

 

so what was the consensus on Whitehall thus far?

 

Really dig it. Pretty good swing at a more complex style, and not heavy handed.

Specifically I found it had a mildly present woody yet bretty funk with a touch of clovey phenol lifted and sweetened by the red grape of the barrel and orange zest. It seems like the hibiscus adds floral bittering, but it's more grape and wine flavor than zest or hibiscus, zinfandel-like. Smell is funkier than taste, more brett forward with hay, straw and grass, as well as a touch of splintery dusty wine oak.

 

And this is why untappd reviews ain’t worth crap. I love that we have this site. Cheers and thanks.

 

I drank another can last night. It's smooth, and I'm getting that mosaic blueberry. The finish is pretty bitter. I'm not sure if it's like OH where it needs a week or two to settle, or if this is typical for a Kane beer.

 

Kane tends to be a bit more balanced (some bitter) than many of the trendy haze boi 0 IBU beers that are out there.

 

hoping Whitehall is on tap this weekend, I have the weekend free of anything and will be making a nice Kane trip

 

That Referend collab though...

 

Nice looking label. Kane finally getting creative with their designs.

 

I personally am more of a fan of the simplistic labels they used to have over ones like these. Also, I feel like when I had both BA Sunday and Mexican Brunch I almost preferred the normal versions more

 

Looking forward to hearing reports on this batch, I'm sure it's hard to figure out the right ratios after aging, if that's the order in which they do it. In the past I have tended to agree though I have enjoyed the regular Brunches most.

 

I wonder how I'll manage to forget about the Eventbrite this time?

 

agree 100%. The barrel sweetens up the while thing and messes with the flavor balance. 4oz are perfect of it.

 

Yes, I’m also in the happy to get a taster of it camp.
