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.

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.

Clear, slightly pale golden coloured body with a nice, fast-dying pure white head, resting to about a centimetre tall. Aroma of sour grapes, very light yeast, sour and salty scents, just like a gose with a subtle malt nose and just a touch of candy sweetness. Light-bodied; Subtle malt flavour at first that gives way to a very minor tart and sour flavour that fades to a bit of berries and a slightly bitter funk. Aftertaste is relatively bland and uninspired with a little yeast, some minor tart sweetness and a good deal of water. Overall, worse than I expected, but not a horrible beer. I’ll try more from this brewery as I find them, but this wasn’t a great introduction at all - this wasn’t a gose nor a sour or wild ale and it wasn’t a blonde, but i’m not quite sure what it was. I sampled this 32 ounce growler purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 02-August-2015 for US$5,00 (for all 32 ounces!!!) sampled at home later in the evening - what a great price, and this wasn’t even a great beer!
