Description

Since 1996, we’ve been brewing in Blanco, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. When you get to make beer in a place like this, you develop a greater appreciation for the simpler things in life — fresh air, wide-open spaces, and working with your hands. We're proud to make beer with as little processing as possible. In addition to being unfiltered and unpasteurized, we never use preservatives or artificial colors. We start with water from the nearby Blanco River and the highest quality ingredients. Then we take the time to allow all the unique characteristics of the ingredients to shine. We believe doing less to the beer actually creates more complexity, aroma and flavor.

The 12 oz. can I just purchased at the nearest HEB says on the label featuring Citra & El Dorado. Just saying what I see. The original Axis is a beer I like. Let's see How Double Dry Hopped Axis stands up to that one. I'm lifting the can into my Buffalo Bayou snifter for the tasting. A cloudy orange body with a decent snow white head. I have a sniff to find pine and a tropical effect. A drink delivers more of the pine, orange, tropical fruit, an easy bitterness. Not bad. Maybe IPAs start tasting similar over time, my life isn't changing with this one.

Bottle 19th February 2020, Fair Market, Austin, Texas. Pretty boring beer, light citrus, nothing much to report, fine

6-pack of cans picked up in Austin, Texas. A very slight hazed, golden colour with a touch of amber. Frothy, mildly creamy, white cap, very good retention and full dirty foamy lacing. Malty nose with some hoppy notes. The hops really stand out in the taste with deep bitterness. Very grassy. Not dry to the max though. Definitely an IPA.

Tap at Bangers, Austin, 11th December 19. Pours a hazy yellow orange. Aroma is citrus, aromatic and dank, pine. Taste is fantastic, skunky, grass, aromatic, grapefruit, dank, juicy and delicious. The original Axis is very good, but this is a different level, great IPA

Tap at Austin Airport, 12th December 19. Flight is delayed, but I’m not getting on it until I finish this beer. Pours a clear straw colour. Aroma is citrus, pithy and loads of grapefruit. Taste is clean and bitter, pithy grapefruit, grapefruit juice, bitter lingering finish, simple and classic west coast IPA, pretty good actually.

Tap at Culinary Dropout, Domain, Austin, Texas, 11th December 19. Pours clear and straw colour. Aroma is straw and yeast. Taste is crisp and lovely and bitter, hay, fresh grass and an assertive bitter finish. Great Pilsner

12 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine in Denton, TX. Pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Very limited lacing. Light caramel aroma. Tastes like a German style Oktoberfest (less sweet and less caramel) and a sharp, bitter pilsner-like finish. Clean and crisp. Repeatable.
