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

Draft at Aslin. Poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light candied lime peel, mild tartness, a little strange, not digging this as much as I thought i would. Still good, but lacking in something.

Draft at Aslin. Aroma was tart lemon zest, not a lot of coconut, perhaps a little coconut water, but it’s really mellow compared to the lemon component. Really good.

Lots of pine and some bitterroot and wood chip astringency. Hazy orange pour with good head and lacing. I think el dorado may taper some fruitiness here but gives it some bitterness. Tap at brewery.
