The 16th snowfall, the long quarantine, busy days at work, the honey-do lists….We all need a Brain Vacation sometimes. Patrick and Keir came to visit recently and while we were talking about all of the challenges that come with life most recently, we decided to turn this beer into an escape.
Brain Vacation starts off with a bunch of oats and wheat before we hopped it with Citra, Strata, El dorado. We finished this beer off by adding a balanced dose of creamy marshmallow. Pouring tropical yellow with aromas of orange berry creamsicles, Brain Vacation has deep flavors of Florida navel orange, peach flesh, melon, pineapple, and a touch of coconut encompasses by marshmallow fluff. Creamy, juicy, and full bodied this beer is truly a vacation.

Läuterhalbe! Hazy, yellow and opaque color and a nice white head. Fruity nose with tropical fruits, vanilla, marschmellows and icy sugar. Taste starts with vanilla to overripe fruits and ends in a nice bitterness. Good work, guys!

Pours a hazy, golden-orange, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with some coconut and vanilla. Flavor is citrus and tropical fruit, with marshmallow. Smooth, but not particularly sweet. It has a nice, bitter finish, with a touch of pine/spruce hops.
