Island Haze IPA pours as opaque as the beach water on Galveston’s shores, but instead of brown, it’s a bright orange color. Straight juice. The foamy...
Before tasting it, I heard and read a lot of salty, disappointed feedback about Saint Arnold Brash Not a Collaboration. With each sip, I’m reminded of one of those comments. Each sip starts off bright and citrusy with a sweet and bitter finish. The finish...
...Bam! Pineapple! Bam! Grapefruit! If you’re not reading this in Emeril’s voice, why are you still here? The sip starts off tropical with......
These tots definitely don't taste like 8%. B52 Pocket Tots Strawberry Milkshake starts off smooth and silky from the milk sugar, and finishes with...
SpindleTap 5 Percent Tint was fire in my book. I love hops. I love refreshing. And I love sessionable because I don't wanna ever be the jerk at the bar that's faded, talking all crazy to everybody he halfway knows. Nobody in town...
It smells like very-ripe mango and cantaloupe. Nick said it was a bit vegetal, but I don’t get that - just heavy, ripe fruit and a tiny little alcohol note on the finish; all of...
11 Below Trade Bait IPA is a rotating hop beer with a delightfully fruity hop aroma that smells like oranges and pineapples in the cleanest, sharpest way. Not even sure if that makes sense but...
Baa Baa Brewhouse Double Play has a pleasant citrus flavor at the beginning and finishes with a very slight mosaic flavor at the end. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy, while the body is creamy and smooth. The astringency is very low and hardly noticeable. The drinkabilty is super easy from beginning to end....
I was lucky enough to get a Crowler of Whole Foods Brewing DL Wet Hop by way of Sam. He's up there enough that they probably oughta put his butt to work, but that's another story for another time. It's a fresh...
The aroma of Whole Foods Wet Hop Explorer is danky, grassy, and hoppy. It literally reminds me of high school when I said "I'll meet you after seventh period man". It's plain ridiculous! The pour provides plenty of head and the lacing is right on point....
You head out to your favorite local brewery to get some of that haze to take home. It’s so hazy at the brewery when they pour it out of the tap. Hazier than anything you’ve ever seen! even hazier than the inside of your...
Last weekend was ridiculously full of beer events and releases. It was a particularly good weekend for juice heads. Spindletap, Sigma, Baa Baa, and Copperhead all released hazy IPAs. Copperhead Citraaddicted more than held it's own with Operation Juice Drop, 4xDDH Medina Sod, and Houston Haze. My recommendation is pretty simple, if you like hazy IPA's it's a great time to be in Houston. Drink them all! ...
Operation Juice Drop shines through the dark clouds with fresh, green pineapple flavors on the front and grapefruit and sweet oranges on the finish, but in between there’s a smooth fruitiness. The grapefruit finish also singed of a pronounced hop burn...
From the first scene, the can of B52 Looking Good Barry cracked open and filled my house with the same pineapply, tropical notes that...
The aroma from the Citra, Mosiac, and Amarillo is unmistakable. The name is obviously a take on the children's (and some adults) cereal Fruity Pebbles. It's not a joke! The aroma actually took me back to Saturday mornings as a kid. ...
One of those that got a small release out of the sheep pen was PS I Love Ewe, another NEIPA from the husband and wife duo credited with the first NEIPA brewed in the Houston area...
OMGEENIE, Meenie NEIPA pours like the creamiest, thickest, juice you've ever seen. I was waiting for globs of pulp, but there were none in sight. It's...
RAAAAAAAANDY is GREEEEEEEEAT with 8 A's. Cue the DJ horn sound effect thingy. It's pineappply goodness from start to finish and it's a cool representation of East meets West IPA in a can. This guy knows what I'm talking about. This guy definitely...
Brighter Days pours that beautiful golden hazy yellow color that all hazers are crave. The pour alone lets you know it's a damn good beer. The head sits at the perfect level to add aroma and flavor, and the lacing runs smoothly down the glass as you enjoy each sip....
We know all too well how big Harvey was and just how ominous he looked, but this F U Harvey Cat 4 is a great refuge from all that with the color and opacity of chicken soup broth. There was a...
