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.

12 oz. can from HEB. Pours a lightly hazy yellow color with a small white head and fair retention. Very little lacing. Faint pilsner malt aroma. A little more pilsner malt flavor than the aroma, with a bright malt finish. Faint lemon notes. Smooth, clean, and crisp. Good thirst quencher. Medium body. Medium-high carbonation. Low bitterness.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - San Antonio, TX. Pours a semi-clear gold color with an off-white head and good retention. Barely any lacing. Bready and light booze aroma. Initial light bread flavor that's quickly overpowered by a boozy finish. The 8.5% ABV is obvious yet still relatively smooth and clean. Very warming. I'm not getting any of the apricot flavor. and I barely detect any honey notes. The flavor is sacrificed by the alcohol. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness.

A beer I thought is would get to try at the brewery earlier this month, didn’t happen. Tonight on our first really hot early evening this year my Teku is in place for the pour from the 12 oz can I got at HEB. I call it pure gold, an inspiring color followed by a a thin skim of absolutely white foam. The nose is dried peaches, perhaps a bit of citrus and grain. The taste is pretty damn decent. A nectarine sweetness, dry toast, hops, honeydew and malt. A little sweet, a little bitter and the same with the dryness. A blonde with tripel aspirations, rated accordingly.

On tap @CBC in Dallas. 9.7% Hazy Lipton tea pour, weak head. Bruin, brandy & a little toffee on the nose. Oaky foeder, lovely lingering & sharp cherry. Rodenbach twang but a little herbally & brighter. Numbing bitter tea finish. Abv pushes the flavor & warms rather then burns. Mellow fizzy carb. Could definitely have another. Expensive tap but just lovely.
