New Mexi-Kolsch from Boxing Bear Brewing Company

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
A 16 oz can bought at Susan's in Santa Fe last year, time for a sampling in a style I enjoy somewhat. Earlier I brought out my New Belgium globe glass for receive the pour and now determine a body that is a clear, pale yellow with a momentary, but full head of white foam. A straight-up scent, I get grain, malt and citrus. The taste is lemon, fresh white bread, malt and just a little bit sweet. More a summer beer, maybe next time. A nice effort in a mostly unexciting style.

Black and Blue Sour from Boxing Bear Brewing Company

Can thanks to Bonnie. Now labeled Black and Blue „Tart“, with the same ABV and description. Dark pink with a foamy head of modest duration. Aroma with a whiff of blackberries. Taste is, aptly, tart rather than sour with lingering blackberries over white bread. Light-bodied, mild carbonation. Simple and easy-going. Ok.
