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

Two 5 oz pours on draft at Aslin. Hazy yellow with off-white head. Aromas of lemon lime, very subtle coconut if any. Tastes of big tart lemons, tart acidic notes, very subtle coconut if any. Lemon really strongarms whatever coconut flavor they were going for. Light body with a dry and tart finish. Pretty tasty, would like more coconut though.

Draft at the source. Murky yellow color, see pic to confirm this. Earthy aroma. Taste is overripe lemon. Citra or Mosaic? Or clones.

Draft at the source. Cloudy pink color, see pic if you want. Nice raspberry and lemon aroma. Raspberry really pops in this one, and lightly earthy lime. Great summer beer.

5 oz draft pour at Aslin. Poured a light neon-yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma had a strong melon character. Honeydew, guava, spicy notes. I got a touch of vanilla and then some dill notes. Okay.

8oz draft pour at Aslin. Poured an incredibly hazy orange color with a small, fluffy but dense white head. Aromawas a blast of tropical fruit notes - lots of mango, papaya fruity blast. Flavor was really juicy beer, lots of tropical notes, some light herbal notes. Not a lot of bitterness in this one. Solid can’t begin to describe it. Delicious.
