Description
Casa Agria Specialty Ales is a small brewery focusing on mixed fermentation farmhouse style ales and barrel aged wild ales in Ventura County, California. Like much of California, Ventura County agriculture and farming has played a vital role in the development of the communities here throughout time. The mild climate and rich soil allows for several harvests throughout the year making it one of the most valuable resources here. For these reasons the farmhouse style is a perfect style to refresh during a warm dry winter and a mild summer day alike from one harvest to the next. Further influence is found in the food ingredients and diverse cultural traditions of the people who shaped the California of today.

Pint can. The beer is a light yellow tan color. It’s clouded through. Thick white head, heavy foam. The aroma is a great mix of spicy citrus, earth and tropical fruit. Pineapple, lime, grass, pepper, melon, kiwi, orange. Lots of that zingy lime flavor. Light rye spice. Taste is fairly dry. Lots of hop flavor. Moderate bitterness. Some yeastiness. Soft mouthfeel. This is quite on message for a NEIPA. Their other new can, Mirror Flexin’, is sweeter and a bit heavier, even relative to the different in abv. Very good stuff. Easy to drink. Refreshing. CASA has done some excellent work with hops with these two can releases.

Pint can. The beer is a yellowish, orangey tan color. Clouded through entirely. The head is slightly off white, good sized. Big tropical fruit hoppiness in the aroma. Lots of pineapple, orange, apricot, peach, grape, kiwi, grapes, lemons. All very sweet and juicy. Fairly sweet in the taste with lots of that hop flavor. Light malt sweetness. Mix of overripe fruit and a grassy, earthy spiciness. Fairly easy to drink. Some body to it. You can definitely feel those oats. A little bit of stickiness. Pretty soft mouthfeel. Interesting contrast with Summer In The Streets, which is more on message as a NEIPA than this beer. Still, this is great stuff. Very nice work from Casa Agria where they’re quietly knocking home runs with nearly every beer they touch.

750 ml bottle. The beer is pale yellow, quite hazy. Fizzy white head. Huge guava in the aroma. Very tropical with big juiciness. No artificial sweetener flavor to it. Underlying yogurty lacto tartness. Mild oak. The taste is pleasant enough but doesn’t pack the same fruit juice punch. It’s yogurty tart and fairly dry. The fruit flavor is solid enough but lacks the sweet juiciness of the aroma. A little more oak. Pretty clean and lacking any off flavors. Light, effervescent mouthfeel. Good stuff.
