Sierra Nevada Summerfest 2013

This is the second thread you have posted like this. I really think your palate has changed. Hops are as pungent to you as they once were man. Accept it.

 

I'm just surprised that I haven't seen it in my area yet - and I've been looking.

 

It was scarce around here, too. Dunno why. Great beer, if ya ask me.

 

I should get a job on the Psychic Network. I mean, I knew where this thread was going, like the guy who didn't get on the Titanic because he dreamed it would sink.

 

Maybe it'll taste better when summer starts.

 

Well, in general, we do love our hops... But you're right Kellerweis is definitely not hoppy, many of our Ovila Belgian-inspired beers are low on the hops as well.

Summerfest is 28 IBU... Not hoppy, per se, but definitely has quite a bit of hop flavor for style. Basically it's a pretty straight on version of a classic style, and a only 5%ABV about where we want to keep it.

As for this year vs last... I don't notice a difference. Tastes clean and pretty crisp to me, and makes me look forward to warmer days.
