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 hazy yellow color with a fluffy white head. Aroma was crisp Kolsch notes, not overly fruited or anything, more lemon than strawberry. Light crisp kiss of strawberry in there - expected that. Crisp and tasty. Light lemon peel finish, but not zesty.

8oz middy pour at Aslin. Poured a very dark brown color with a wispy, bubbly head. Aroma is light powder sugar, lots of roast in this one. Flavor has... Marshmallow! It really does. Milk and bittersweet chocolate. Surprised. Only missing the graham cracker.

Flavor is the same, orange creamcicle, tangerine, orange juice, vanilla. Finished sweet. Solid. If this was in a Trillium bottle, people would be hyping the crap out of this.
