Weekly Beer Reviews

Boulder Sweaty Betty

Another Summer Blonde Ale on tap. This year has certainly been a Belgian lovers dream! This beer has loads of yeast aroma's on the nose, with hints of coriander and french bread. Light hints of lemon mix wonderfully with the yeast aroma's. The taste was smooth, with slight hints of sourness and a taste of toast. The finish was quick, with bits of clove and a wonderfully refreshing feel. Overall, not an incredible amount of flavor, but it is perfect for Summer.

Shiner Wild Hare Pale Ale

Another sessionable Shiner on tap. That has not been a good thing recently, and this is no exception. The smell is light, with floral aroma's and bits of bananas. The taste is light with a hint of bitterness and a taste of corn. It finishes with a bitter mineral finish. This beer has more in common with a Miller Lite than the craft Pale Ale's that usually grace our wall. It is refreshing, and extremely affordable. However, if you are looking for the best of the best, you can find better options on our wall.

Heavy Seas Collaboration Land Ho

Heavy Seas worked with the Devils Backbone Brewery to present this Black Pilsner to our wall. The smell was light, though had subtle hints of smoke, coffee, and toast. The taste was light, though filled with a decent amount of flavor. Smoke and bitter pine were shown off, with those herbal Pilsner hops shining through. The taste had bits of charcoal on it, though it wasn't overly bitter. A great option for those looking for a dark summer beer.

Sierra Nevada Hoptimum

This is a very popular Imperial IPA on our wall. The smell was soapy, with bits of what Tyler and I described as "dirty washrag". The aroma was certainly unpleasant, though the taste was not. One of the most intense bitter bombs we have had on tap, the age on these kegs has toned down the aroma and flavoring hops leaving a resin-like flavor. The bitterness continues throughout, with flavors of alcohol and pine on the finish. A wonderful option for bitter lovers.
