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

Very pale hazy white golden color. Frothy white head. Over ripe Mikan, burnt fruit, phenolic nose. Odd. Low bitterness. Too phenolic, odd hops. Way too dry. Strange.

Hazy Medium amber golden color. High alpha hop character with onion and restrained citrus notes. Medium full body, but hops don’t shine as much as I expected. Alcohol is apparent but not over the top. Modest bitterness. Ok

Can into a snifter showing opaque orange with sparse quickly dissipating clean white foam. The nose shows oranges and light grapefruit with cleanly blended malt backbone. The palate is medium bodied and light to moderately carbonated. Flavors of light orange with a strong malt backbone that seems more akin adzuki bean sweetness. A slight roasted note of bacon or umami is also there. Not their strongest offering but not bad.
