What's Your Name Mean?
"Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of deep caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes and nice smooth bourbon notes. Taste is also a mix of deep caramelized malt with plenty but not too much residual sugar notes and some nice bourbon and faint vanilla notes. Body is full with good carbonation and lights arming alcohol notes. Solid BA barleywine which makes for a great nightcap.

Tap at mad mex. Nearly clear pale. Looks like thin lemonade. Interesting friendly mild fruity nose. First taste is not really an IPA. More like a mild APA with some fruit. Decent co2. Easy drinkin. In the middle IPA character tries to come thru but never makes a statement. I don't care for IPA, but I found this quite acceptable. Civilized finished.

Can. Murky gold with a white head. Nose is citrusy with hints of green vegetation. Flavor is tart, citrusy, kinda plain. Bitterish. Disappointing.

I open a 12 oz can acquired from Half Time and have it tilting inside of a Teku glass. Nice. A milky light yellow body, minimal skim of fully white foam. The nose is good. Orange peel, bread and hops too. The taste goes a bit different to the scent. Hops, oranges, crackers, malt, a spot of grapefruit. Rather decent imo.
