Description
Craft beer is a passion, an obsession and a journey. This journey has opened our eyes (and taste buds) to some of the finest examples of beer this planet has to offer. Our tastes and expectations have forever changed, and so have our methods of enjoyment. From beer trades, to home brewing, to attending release parties and festivals one thing became clear… We rarely drink the same beer over and over again, and we love to share.

Sampled at the Black Squirrel’s NKOTB event pours a hazy amber with basically no head. Nose has lemon rind, a little wet wood, some dried grasses, some vitamin C. Flavor has a big acetic note, lemon juice, lemon rind, some passion fruit. Oily and tart. A little ways to go on this one.

Sampled at the Black Squirrel NKOTB event pours a deep burnt gold with a ring of white head. Nose has a blend of approachable citrus, grapefruit, lemon, orange and tropical fruit, dried pineapple, guava. Flavor follows right behind, pineapple, guava, mango, orange, tangerine. Mostly dry finish. I still like Home a little better, but another solid offering.

Draft in memory of Fred Eckhardt, who I had the honor of meeting at Fred Fest two years ago. We asked him for a picture, and he was so humble he went to take a picture of the two of us. We explained we wanted a picture with him in it! He looked puzzled, but obliged. And the beer has an orange perl aroma with a softly sour orange aroma. Tasty and easy drinking. Here’s to you, Fred.
