Description
For the better part of a decade we have been dreaming and doing. North Hero Hops & Agriculture is coming into its 11th season while our brewery, Kraemer & Kin is moving into it’s 4th year in 2023. It's been a wild and hard hustling few years. A few broad strokes of our trajectory; we launched in 2020 out of Levi & Christie’s 20x30 garage. The garage was a small but quite the kickass little brewery nuculator space. In early 2022 we dismantled our little garage brewery engine and moved the whole operation further north to the basement of the Alburg Golf Links clubhouse. Additionally, we took over clubhouse operations and morphed the space into our taproom/brewhouse/restaurant, exciting stuff! In the expansion of our operations to the Alburg Golf Links we have gained a stunning public space that overlooks a western facing bay on Lake Champlain bay. Its the kind of view that encourages you to relax and stay awhile.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale yellow cardboard in color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peach skin tartness then a light peach flesh sweetness with a light yeasty spicy scent
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet to spicy quality and adds in a subtle funky to light sour tone; finishes peachy tart and a light sour & semi-funky note
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, some smoothness, and the tart & sour features seem to not be distracting to the tongue
Overall: to me, it's a nice peach tart fruit ale I could come back to but I do have to question - is this truly a sour ale? Hmmmm...

Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: funky/grassy whiffs up front then the lavender with a touch of yeasty spice
Flavor: copies the aromas in a fairly florak sweet way while a super light spice & funk slides in underneath; finishes floral and slightly funky
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, florally smooth along the tongue with expected dryness but nothing overbearing
Overall: good beer with the lavender doing what it does and shows some saison-like vibes.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: brown color with a one finger eggshell white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then once it did some light lace stuck to the glass.
Aroma: soft caramel/toffee malts, toasted nuts, and some earthy/grassy hops
Flavor: pretty much mirrors the aromas in a semi-sweet to toasty quality; finishes nutty and caramelly
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue
Overall: a nice no frills English brown ale I would return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: clear glossy yellow color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated fairly quick to leave some light lace
Aroma: dandelion flowers, a whiff of lemon tartness, touch of yeasty spice and some light grassy notes
Flavor: floral sweet and lightly spicy with a clean finish of the same
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: nice simple floral ale but wasn't really sour to be honest, would be a nice beer just sipping in the backyard on a Summer's afternoon.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear copper color capped by a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big piney fresh hop tones, light lemon hop tones and some biscuity/bready maltiness underneath
Flavor: wraps the prior noted aromas up to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes piney and lemony
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue but a touch of dryness and a little bit of hop assertiveness
Overall: I say a pretty good AIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: purple in color with a two finger pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: black currant sweet and tart qualities; lemon sweetness, light grassy/hay whiff, light doughy malts, spicy notes of the yeast
Flavor: sweet, tart and spicy through the prior noted aromas; finishes with the black currants and hay/grassy tones
Texture: light to medium bodied - perhaps closer to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, light smoothness and some assertive tart to spicy hints rubbing along the tongue
Overall: seems to go to and fro between fruit beer to saison, but perhaps I think it might be closer to a fruit beer if it was up to me to decide. Still, I could bang this one again.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: woody orange color with a slight transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace
Aroma: pumpkin sweet flesh, allspice and clove
Flavor: mirrors the aromas - sweetly and spicy; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue; spices are tame here
Overall: nicely done pumpkin ale with the right level of those spices and not too many different spices. I would love to come back to this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale orange to brown color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: biscuity to bready malts, some earthy to grassy hops then underneath light maple tones slide in
Flavor: seems to come back the same way as the aromas present themselves; finishes malty with the earthy side of the hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: funny how this is called "Maple Ale" yet there's barely any maple smelled or tasted, well, guess it truly lives up to be a "mild ale" as the brewer says it is. I would return to this.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: deep amber color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: caramel, some chocolate, butterscotch, light coffee tones, subtle grassy hops underneath it all
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a sweet to roasty quality; finishes caramel-y and chocolatey
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: these golden/white stouts are getting confusing because this beer is neither color, this beer is dark amber. However, the rest of this beer is nice enough to return to.
