Description
WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH A BEER, YOU’RE AFTER SOMETHING. Maybe it’s nuanced layers of flavor, the siren call of a favorite hop, or to test your skill identifying stone fruit tasting notes. Maybe you’re chasing the new or craving the familiar, perhaps you just want to kick back for a drink with friends—and order another of the same. At Bearded Iris, our beers meet you where you are and deliver the experience you seek, whatever it might be, because that’s what we believe makes beer worth drinking. CULTIVATE VARIETY DRIVES US AT BIBCO. (WE’RE NOT KIDDING.) With a menu that skews heavily toward IPAs, DIPAs, and pales, it can appear that we don’t, in fact, cultivate much “variety.” But here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink. Every time. Regardless of style. To us, that’s the variety worth cultivating. And that’s what we bring to your table.

Draft. A glass of deep gold/orange watery mud with a frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, toasted grain, light tropical fruit, orange. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, slick texture, moderate carbonation. Starts with a nice citrus/orange taste, but finishes with resin and pine, like a loud-mouthed, uninvited uncle showing up at the party.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy, mango colored gold with a full 2 fingers of foam. Nice big white grapefruit nose, with diesel fuel, bit of citrus pith. Light on the palate. More pith and lingering lemon zest, tad bitter. Not bad, but not as good as some of their other drops. --- Beer merged from original tick of Chasing Rainbows Two on 11 Aug 2017 at 22:44 - Score: 7.

Cloudy beige blond beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lovely stuff, very dank, hoppy, grapefruit, some citrus. Taste: very hoppy, bit funky, cheesy touch, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: very dank, some tropical fruits, more citrus, more cheesy notes and grapefruit, bit spicy, tickles the throat, maybe the alcohol?

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy, gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Pungent orange, grapefruit aromas, dank and a touch of diesel. Creamy on the palate, more citrus, dank orange, low bitterness, smooth finish. Not really kolsch like, but still fun.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a brilliant, kabocha flesh colored gold with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Endless mango, pineapple and citrus. Velvety palate. Smooth as butter. Great bit of nashville haze. No trace of booze w/ light bitterness. One of my favorites from BI.
