Description
Foam. It's always been an unconscious calling like drifting into a cumulus cloud bank on a sun-drenched day, or collapsing in a frothy curl of a breaking wave. Foam; it's natural beauty that rises up and is here and gone in a moment in time. I have spent my working life in foam, beer foam that is, brewing beer, conjuring up mixtures of malt and hops to ferment into a crowning moment of beer. Great beer has always sat under foam. Foam. It's not one ingredient that gives stability; it's many interwoven to create a structure of strength pouring out visual excitement. As I sit for a time, I enjoy that moment. All that remains is the lacing that adorns the empty glass and the making of a great memory. Until next time, see you under the Foam...

An at home from anniversary mix pack. Clearish amber gold and sudsy head. Nose is caramel and pine. Yates of pine, florals, soap, caramel, some grapefruit. Medium bodied. Does remind of Sierra Nevada

Poured from a can into a becher pint

Pours a pale golden yellow with a finger and a half of soft foamy head that slowly settles leaving plenty of sticky stringy lace

Aroma is herbal grassy hops, mild spicy hop notes with some yeast in there

Taste takes the aroma and adds some light biscuity notes and amplifies the spicy hop character a bit, a nice subtle bitterness plays nicely

Mouthfeel is slick and light bodied, medium carbonation and an easy bitterness make a crisp and fairly dry finish.

Overall a very sessionable and very enjoyable czech pils, one I'd have anytime, I'd gladly crack this while grilling or by the campfire.

A4 draught, 5/23/26.
Easygoing melon and pomelo with a hint of white grape. White bread and light honey balance gently. Good acidity lingering with spicy, rich tropical fruit building as it warms.
Big kiwi, musk melon and soft honey to balance the zesty spiciness. Mineral and good acidity with grape and kumquat skin lingering. Varied sweet and bitter notes with super interesting exotic fruit character. Incredibly drinkable. Drying earth/chalk from dry hop.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-clear bronzed copper color with approximately a finger's worth of white to off white foamy yet rocky sort of head which dissipated nicely and left a little bit of messy semi-sticky lace
Aroma: honey blossom-like sweet tones with pulled mango to guava-ish hop notes and a touch of lemon peel; slight piney sweetness further underneath; clean malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet to bitter quality; brisk finish of floral to mango-like noted sweet dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; pretty good smoothness along the tongue; good carb level; medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done APA that seemed fairly similar to what I remember of the original version of this. Makes me want to do a deep dive into the different hops they used in this version this time around.

On tap at Foam Brewers.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: deep dark brown very close to black with a two finger dark tan foamy head which must have sat there for at least four minutes before even thinking of dissipating (ha! I loved watching that!) not much lace
Aroma: deep sweet to earthy subtle roasty coffee beans with velvety mocha soaked vanilla qualities; milk and dark chocolatey tones with decadent tones
Flavor: wonderfully meshed with sweet to roasty bittersweet to toned earthy quaint creamy sweetness; finishes oh so smooth with sweet mocha/vanilla/milk chocolatey/dark chocolatey and sweet butter/creaminess
Texture: medium to full bodied; good as a sipper (ABV didn't hit "too hard" - I think); extremely smooth along the tongue - absolutely nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: well daggum, what a knockout of the park! I would absolutely love to have this again and hopefully the next time maybe next Winter? Yeah, I think this would definitely be awesome then.

*Disclaimer - this was a nitro pour.

On tap at Foam Brewers on 05/14/2026 (brought out of retirement).
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: thick burnt yellow opaque-ness with a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: what an absolutely wonderful blend of pineapple sweet to pulled guava toned sweet fleshy qualities; slight pear with toned clean malts
Flavor: fantastically blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet clean quality to a bittersweet juicy balanced quality; finishes so clean and juicy with a pinch of pineapple/pear sweetness
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with a great low carb about it and superb low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a beer like this tells me "Foam is back" on track with the NEIPA's or maybe the assist from Widowmaker pushed them over, I don't know but I do know this is one I know I would return to!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: just seemed super muted initially and really had a hard time opening up but some mixed citrusy to slightly funky sweet character
Flavor: wow! What a 180! Total mango to guava to papaya sweetness and gets extremely juicy; finishes very mango/papaya/guava juicy with an ever so slight touch of dryness
Texture: medium bodied; leaning into being a sipper; very smooth and juicy along the tongue; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: too bad I can't rate a beer solely on flavor as this would be a near perfect NEIPA but it's good enough to return to.
