Utah Get Me 2

Utah Get Me 2

Virginia
USA
Utah Get Me 2, Honor Brewing Co.
Description 

Fear causes hesitation and hesitation will cause you to miss out on this IIPA. If you want the ultimate old school balanced double IPA this is the beer for you. Little hand says its time to rock and roll with a trio of American hops which pack action into every sip. Pairs well with a meatball sub from the shop around the corner, or better yet a second.

Gratzer

Gratzer

Colorado
United States
Gratzer, Seedstock Brewery
Description 

Gratzer is a traditional smoked, Polish beer that was brewed for special occasions. The Seedstock Gratzer is champagne-yellow in color, with a fluffy white head. We brewed this beer using 100% oak-smoked wheat malt, so it definitely has a smokey aroma. The sweetness of the smoke combined with the spiciness of saaz hops creates an incredibly crisp beer – dare we say, the true champagne of beers!

The aroma of hops in this beer wasn’t very profound or strong, but rather muted when compared to other Double IPAs. I still detected hints of pine and resin aromas in the nose. The beer had a light copper color that was somewhat hazy and featured nice carbonation and very good head retention.... Read More
