A WEST BY MIDWEST ALE BREWED WITH LEMONGRASS AND PASSION FRUIT
This ale was brewed, bottled, and released together in Joint Session with the Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma, CA & Chicago, IL and Short's Brewing, Bellaire, MI. Why? Well, a wise woman once said, “Friends are the family you choose” …It’s good to have friends.

Oof. Pretty hard pressed to find something positive in this pint; grainy, dry malts on top of strong passion fruit notes and a floral hop finish. But the fruit is too aggressive for such a light, bland ale, and the lemongrass adds a medicinal tint to the back end, leaving a beer with no sense of balance or harmony. Decent enough pour, and the feel is light and crisp, but damn is this a hard beer to drink.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours light, translucent gold with a white head. Dang if it doesn't smell like lemon and passionfruit. Med minus body. Flavor is very passionfruit with some bitter lemon. Pretty dry. Not all that hoppy, but bitter enough for me - which is saying something. Excellent session.
