SaltyGrog Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Pint can from Bottleworks, Seattle. Disposable cup back at the hotel after some great Pho.

Cooked down, savory lemon-lime Gatorade nose; extra lemon oil.
Lemonheads & rosemary oil at a good flavor ratio. More sweet than sour. Slightly brine-y finish is excellent & again reminiscent of Gatorade.
Slightly spirited, low co2, low tartness, noticeable but low preservatives.

Refreshing.

Pink Lady from Long Eared Farm and Cidery (Alexander, United States 🇺🇸)

1 week ago

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 4.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 7 Overall 8.5

Affordable 375ml bottle at Appalachian. Mojito glass at home.

Spritzy soda head. Pale gold body.
Sour sidra, vinegar funk nose, floral, bubblegum, spice, plastic.
Taste is way better. Half tart, floral pear skin, white wine, white grapefruit, seltzer, onion, some residual sugar.
Good carb, good acid, touch too yeasty, agreeable bottle size.

Did that 2% crab really carry this? Good blend? Cheers.

Ciderkin 2025 from Eve's Cidery (Van Etten, United States 🇺🇸)

1 week ago

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 5 Overall 7

Brown 750 via their summer package.

Mojito glass at home. Dusty, medium pale gold, flash of head.
Tart & herbal, almost veggie nose.
White wine, grassy, lemon, caked yeasties, some band-aid, herbal finish. I feel like the bittersweets drag this down from the bright, refreshing beverage it could be.
Watery, half-tart, middle low carb, slightly boozy, mineral finish.

Just okay. If it was dirt cheap, I suppose I'd feel okay about it.

Baltic Porter from Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem, United States 🇺🇸)

1 week ago

6.8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

$2.66 single from Appalachian. Curious what all these unique internal monetary codes mean.

Rinsed lo-ball at home. Dirt brown with amber highlights, tall & sturdy tan head; excellent cascade.
Earthy, caramelized Euro malt nose; no fruit yet.
Lots of caramel upfront, bitter soot, dark chocolate, faint esters, & fainter yet dark fruit. Barely any note of fruit really. Borderline fudge.
Thick n chewy, very hot, building acid, strong co2.

It really comes off as a hearty imp porter, not a baltic. Good enough.

Jalapeño Saison from HopFly Brewing Company (Rocky Mount, United States 🇺🇸)

1 week ago

5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 7 Overall 4.5

$4.40 single from Hopfly. I think I'm a sucker for freshies. Why is this $4?! Jalapenos are .77c a pound. No born on date but it was next to other fresh Hopfly. Beastiefan would probably love this if he were local.

Rinsed out lo-ball at home. Filtered, medium gold, tall off-white head.
Very vegetal with some wanting corn nacho maltiness & weak banana.
Ugly veg intertwined with creamy malt & strong banana esters. I don't like this for the most part but the forced carb is strong & there is a notable old world hop bite that lingers on the tail to distract from the messiness.
Solid acid, crispy, middling abv warmth.

It just isn't a good mesh.
