Copperhead Athena has scents of yeast, fruit, and very mild alcohol. Similarly in taste, she is malt forward, with almost no detectible hop bitterness, featuring a lightly sweet, yeasty flavor. My favorite feature of Athena, you may ask? Her absolutely impeccable...
Warimono poured a clear golden color. There was little to no head and only minimal carbonation after the pour, but it packed a strong aroma of bubble gum, peppercorns, and Belgian yeast spice. The 9.2% ABV makes itself known with a...
Fresh Hop Elissa IPA is an farm-to-table, err, brewery, take on Saint Arnold's longtime IPA, Elissa. It's made with fresh hops instead of the usual dried up pellets, and it smells subtle, but of so many different things. There are grassy and fruity notes that...
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. ...
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...
No Label 1st Street Ale pours a beautiful straw blonde tone with sweet, grainy, cereal-like scents and a light enough body, you can easily throw back a full six pack before the first quarter of your favorite football game finishes. While I found the body to veer toward watery, the light hop bitterness...
The taste of Mini Boss was good! After all of these hazy IPAs, I feel like I'm reconsidering my life decisions and prior ratings, but this is a traditional American IPA that could hold it's own alongside something...
Catty Corner Cream Ale really deserves your attention. For a post-hurricane-survival-mode-beer, it was perfect. The light, vanilla scent reminds me of oreo cookies and childhood innocence, and the creamy mouthfeel begs you to drink more and...
Dom’e’stique Wit is no exception to that high quality that Huntsville and most of North Houston has been able to enjoy, and I personally have found myself gravitating towards a Cyclers brew anytime I am at HEB or Hubble and Hudson. Dom’e’stique Wit pours a...
The taste of Running Walker Brewery Stout starts off with bittersweet chocolate and slight burnt coffee. It's a bit light bodied, but not quite watery. The carbonation is pretty high, but I think it...
I know I know this review isn't breaking news that Houston Haze is the bomb. What impresses here is the consistency of the beer. The mouth is super soft and has only improved. The citrus just explodes in your mouth while the bitter remains very low on the back end....
Blue Testament features a black, white, and red can that sets itself apart from the rest of the beers on the shelves. Due to how different it is, somebody could mistake it for...
Before me lies the Brazos Valley “Angel” and all her beauty! I last wrote about this enchanting character several months back and how this series would be a staple on which this brewery would thrive on. I am proud to say that...
My first time trying Kadigan blonde was at New Republic Brewing Co's taproom in college station. I didn't go there for Kadigan but where else do you start? Blondes are the equivalent of dipping your toes in the water before you jump in. Very solid beer, perfect for a weekend afternoon beer! I feel like Blondes and Pilsners get overlooked and are even a little under appreciated! I know I'm guilty of it. ...
Lame Duck pours a medium amber color, with the perfect amount of head. In the recent haze craze, anything amber that you can see through is sometimes dismissed. The color isn't too clear, which sometimes indicates a thin watery beer. Your nose can't miss the citrus fire that exudes after pouring....
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...
BAKFISH I Tell You Wit pours beautifully with a finger of thick, froathy white head. It resembles a cloudier glass of freshly squeezed orange juice that sips incredibly smoothe, with a light body and moderate carbonation. Bold flavors of sweet orange and spicy coriander devour the palette in a delightful balance that veers toward...
Blueberry Blonde isn't just for the beach and it's not just for outside. I've been avoiding going outside as much as I can this summer unless it's toward the evening. So I popped open...
SpindleTap Hops Drop beats down your throat knocking pictures off the wall, and it all starts with a smooth, sweet fruit-punch flavor followed by subtle bitterness and the aforementioned subtly-piny, fruity...
