SEASON-ALES
We come up with a new fill batch each couple of months to compliment the season. If you are lucky, you will catch us on the cusp and be able to try two season-ales at the same time.
Üter Dark Lager
This German style black lager or “Schwarzbier” is made with rich darker malts but is surprisingly light for its color.
Tasting Notes:
The Üter is a light bodied beer with some bitterness but no hop flavour as it has an almost entirely malt derived character. This malt character is bready and toasty with just a hint of dark chocolate with a little bit of roast malt in the finish. It pairs well with roasted meats, red meats and mild cheeses.
ABV: 5.2% | IBU: 21
Maverick NEIPA
Our second “hazy” or “juicy” IPA, this beer has a large oat and wheat component making for a fuller and smoother mouthfeel. The Maverick is hopped almost entirely in the whirlpool and the fermenter to provide a lot of hop flavor and little bitterness.
Tasting Notes:
The nose on the Maverick is bright and citrusy leaning towards a mandarin orange with some tropical fruit notes in the background. The flavour starts off sweet and finishes with some hop bitterness similar to an orange rind. The hop flavours are similar to the aroma: a large orange character with some mango and pineapple in the background. The Maverick pairs well with spicy foods, rich dishes and food dishes. Best enjoyed while inverted.
ABV: 5.3% | IBU: 6
We Got The Funk Sour
An American style kettle sour with a mixture of lactobacillus strains is boiled then fermented with wild yeast.
Tasting Notes:
The nose on this beer is bright and fruity with a hint of barnyard-like phenolics. Overall it is light and tangy with a hint of sourness, some fruit character and a red currant finish. It pairs with sharp cheeses, sweeter dishes, creamy sauces and egg dishes as it will cut the fatty flavour in any food.
