Martin House getting to be one of my favorite breweries, they do so many styles and generally do them well. Tonight I have Battle Snakes, don’t know the story, really not concerned. But I will say that the graphics on the label are pretty damn good. Pint can, tipping into my Cowtown (Fort Worth too) snifter. I see a murky, gold-orange liquid completed by a strong but dwindling off-white head of foam. The scent pulls me in, tropical fruit and light pine. And the drink may not be great but it is fine for the style. Pineapple, grapefruit, grass, crackers and a bit of hoppy bitterness. The 10% slips through unnoticed but appreciated. Nice.
