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

12oz draft pour at Aslin. Poured a cloudy yellow haze with a fluffy white head. Aroma was mostly crisp Kolsch notes, not overly fruited or anything. Apricot comes through on the flavor way more than on the aroma. Very crisp and tasty! Light lemon peel, but not too zesty. Pretty refreshing.

10oz draft goblet pour at the brewery. Poured a very hazy orange color with a decent sized fluffy white head. The aroma was a blast of tropical fruits, Mandarin oranges, tangerine and clementines. Light grain. Totally unfiltered. Really nice fruity character. Really nice.
