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....
“Can’t wait for their beer to catch up with their marketing.” That’s something I hear from beer snobs from time to time, but 8th Wonder AstroTurf is the kind of beer that gives me the...
The label art is not for the faint of heart. Death is standing on coffins that are draining blood. The devil and possibly some tortured souls are watching from the woods. A blue eyed wolf is taking off with a severed hand in his mouth like it's a bone. A headstone with a bleeding gory crucified zombie like Jesus is marked the word vivisect on the bottom and inri at the top. Vivisect means to dissect a body while it is still alive....
Nature of Ego & Self boasts a very sessionable, easily drinkable style. Scents of roasted nuts, dried dark fruits, and lightly browned sugar continually graces the palette. Sweetness overwhelms with flavors of caramel, toffee, and toasted malt. However, dried dates give a moderate balance that ends on...
My taste experience with Nightmare on 1st Street mirrors the aroma. The pumpkin taste is there, but fainter than I like. The body is very thin, which is surprising given that it's a 9.27 Imperial Ale. I realize the ale style contributes to the body, so it's more of personal preference. ...
Saint Arnold Oktoberfest is colored like real fall foliage, with heavy wiffs of dried fruit, spice, and toasted bread. The mouthfeel is near perfect with flavors that blend amazingly well with the scent. Expect sweet notes of light spice, orange, caramel, and toasted bread. ...
Southern Star Oktoberfest tastes of cereal grains, toasted bread, caramel, and a touch of coriander and clove. It veers towards a malty sweetness that is overall balanced, but manages to finish with a slight warming sensation, compliments of it's higher ABV for the style....
The label says Lenin's Revenge is "as thick and black as your capitalist blood." I will agree that Lenin's Revenge is a pitch black stout, but the mouthfeel was not as heavy as you'd be led to believe. Does it know something about...
Ennie Meenie miney mo catch a beer by the toe! Maybe nursery rhymes aren't your thing but I bet Meenie by Baa Baa Brewhouse will change your tune!...
Y'all ever get that itch to bake? You know the one, where you have an insatiable desire to craft something sweet, delicious, and oh so fattening? The Pumpkin Porter Spice Cake with Cream Ale Cream Cheese frosting fits the bill to satisfy all your...
Spindletap Juiceston pours an orange hazy color with a good amount of head that is typical of Double IPA's. The lacing is there but minimal. The aroma is killer on this one people. You get a tropical aroma that is heavenly. I definitely pick up some guava on the nose as well as citrus flavors....
Buffalo Bayou Tropikal Rotundone pours a cloudy, light amber tone with colorful, fruity scents of mango and passionfruit. The juicy, fruitiness keeps on coming with strong malty, mango flavors well balanced by the crisp, alcohol notes. It's big wave of fruit flavors creates a completely...
Upon cracking open the can, I was pleasantly greeted with light floral and citrus notes, and the signature yeasty scent of most witbiers. Buffalo Bayou claims "real dudes drink pink" because spoiler alert, Summer's Wit is brewed with the dainty, rosy-toned hibiscus flower! The citrus aroma comes full circle with a...
My first visit to Whole Foods Market Brewing Company isn't one I will soon forget. I managed to squeeze everything I could out of my first Fathers Day as a dad! I went to work like normal so it wasn't like I had all day, then I talked my wife into going to Under the Radar with me then we ended the night at Whole Foods Market Brewing Company. My wife wasn't thrilled to squeeze in two breweries in about two hours, but its fathers day...
Southern Star Summer Saison takes sessionable to another level. It's starts incredibly clean and smooth, with very little to no hop undertones (a bonus if you're not a huge IPA fan such as myself), and finishes with a spicier twinge. Caramel attempts to peek through the flavor profile, but the wetter, fruity tastes have the biggest impact....
Weisstheimer was released this past May and its pun filled popularity has taken the “In the Loop” crowd by storm. I arrived early, and was the second or perhaps third patron who had made themselves comfortable at the bar; I took a quick breather to mentally prepare myself for what my wife would later tell me to be an unheard consumption rate of tacos and beer...
It is a light brew that you could enjoy easily with any southern style comfort food and it won’t ruin your food of choice, nor will your food of choice ruin this palate cleansing beer. This cream ale is low in ABV and is...
Figaro poured a deep, cloudy amber color with a creamy head that stuck around forever after I poured it! I literally walked away for...
Now on to the important part of the review, how's it taste (Chappelle Show fans fill in the blanks)? Simply put, if you like beer and you like coffee, you're going to love Cortado. Brash is all local, and they use beans from...
Fancy Sauce IPA pours a slightly dark golden colored body with a single finger worth of white head that quickly disappeared. Lacing is heavy all the way down the glass. with a real clean, crisp mouth feel....
