Description
6 Bears & a Goat Brewing Co., LLC (6B&G) is named after its founders (and the mascots of their respective military services). The six Bears are 20-year retirees from the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Goat is a retiree from the U.S. Navy. Collectively, the 6 Bears & a Goat have served their country for over 140 years. While we are very serious about brewing beer, we want to have fun doing it, and our name is indicative of that…it is also indicative of the good-natured rivalry between the Navy and our Nation’s oldest continuous seagoing service, the United States Coast Guard.

Poured a clear golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was clean bready grain, touch light hop. Corn, biscuit. Easy to drink. Really nice beer in this style. Would drink again.

Slightly hazy copper and bronze glowing body with a thinnish off-white layer of a head on top that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of crisp grass and hay with a light dash of grain, citrus fruits and floral notes with a tiny hint of pine noticeable as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal hop notes up front dominate at first, but fade to a light sweetness from caster sugar and some citrus fruit sweetness, that is all finished by some softer herbal and light malt notes with a faint bit of alcohol as well. Aftertaste shows the bitterness from the hops with a light sweetness from citrus fruits and very little else, but at least a balanced and simplistic malt profile. Overall, about what you'd expect from an East Coast IPA - the hop profile is clean and straight forward, the malt is dry and balanced and there is no deep complexities or pungencies on either end, which makes for a refreshing and nice 'old school' IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased just a few hours ago from Giant in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 21-November-2019 for US$1,87 sampled a few hours later at my house here in Washington on 21-November-2019.

Basically like an old school gose, with a sense of salt and some lime. Not a lot to it, but ok. Pours golden with ok head. Not too sour on finish. Tap at brewery.

Tastes like fake mango, artificial juice box mango. Pours hazy golden with good head and lacing. Finishes awkward and artificial. Weird. Tap at brewery.
