This evening Tyler and I got together to assemble some reviews of our first five home brews. We noticed a distinct increase in quality as our experience waxed; our latest brew is extremely flavorful. Hopefully those of you who had the opportunity to enjoy our beer liked it, and for those of you who didn't, this could be your sneak peek!
AlphaBeer American Pale Ale:
Pours hazy, light amber with a thick lasting head, lots of soapy lacing. Aromas of light citrus, pine, candle wax and mild malt. Fairly dry with a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with a sticky mouth feel.
Not-so-Weizen German Wheat:
Pours a hazy orange straw with a big rocky head. Aromas of banana, clove, orange, wheat malt and yeasty esters. Dry and highly carbonated with a smooth mouth feel. Thin bodied with a mildly spiced aftertaste.
OAKville Imperial Stout:
Pours opaque black with a thin beige cap. Largely oak on the nose with a touch of earthy hop, deep roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. A touch of sherry like sweetness with a hit of bitter hop and roasty malt on the finish. Mild carbonation, full and layered on the palate with a long lingering finish.
Brohemian Rhapsody California Common:
Pours a clear dark amber with a thin white head, minimal lacing. Herbal hop nose with hints of thyme, allspice, wood and caramel malt. A touch of sweetness, high carbonation and a hint of hop bitterness. Smooth and sessionable with lingering malt sweetness.
Saison du Maison:
Pours murky orange amber with a thick white head. Nose is very estery, banana, clove, honeycomb and black pepper. Dry with a touch of zesty sourness on the finish. High carbonation with a thin mouth feel and lingering noble hop bitterness on the finish.
It has been a blast brewing all these beers, we have both learned a lot and are continuing to learn more. Anyone interested in brewing with us or enjoying a sample please feel free to drop me a line!
