The Bruery: Saison de Lente
Based on the name and the nifty pink packaging, this guy is an Easter/Spring seasonal. It is crisp, light, refreshing, sour and slightly bitter. The nose is like all of The Bruery beers, magnificent. I can just sit here all night and just sniff this thing without even taking a sip. In the mouth it is really bubbly like a Txocoli and really crisp. When you swallow you get the sourness of the bret and the bitterness of the hops, plus a mellow nuttiness and mild caramel flavor.
The Bruery: Saison Rue
Freakin awesome! That is all I have to say about this guy… It is freakin awesome. This guy is a Belgian/French farmhouse ale. It is super complex. The nose is luscious and you get a little tartness from the bret which reminds me of a Russian River Bret brewed beer, but you also get a strong caramel, biscuit rye scent that just fills your nose. This guy is really aromatic. In the mouth it is slightly greasy and coats the mouth, but in an awesome way.
The Bruery: Orchard White
Orchard White is a light lemony and refreshing wit from The Bruery. In the nose it is wheaty, lemony with a hint of Belgian ale. In the mouth it is clean and refreshing. You get the strong lemon flavor with the rich Belgian wheat flavor as it goes down.
The Bruery: 2 Turtle Doves
Ok, so I’ve been saving this guy because… well, I’m not sure why… this guy has been sitting in the fridge for a couple months now and The Bruery makes some of my favorite craft beers soooo… actually, maybe that is why I have been saving this guy… wait who am I kidding, it is rainy and cold as shit outside and I am craving a dark rich beer…
The Bruery: Rugbrod
God Damn, I am a fan of The Bruery’s beers! Rugbrod is a Dainish style ale. It means Rye Bread in Danish talk… In the nose you get some light sweetness from the malt, some Belgian-ish spiciness and chocolate. In the mouth you get a hint of cloves and bananas, a ton of chocolate, caramel and a rustic earthy flavor from the Rye malt which really does make this guy tastes like Rye Bread. Tis a great beer. This guy is super balanced, fresh and freakin flavorful.
The Bruery: Autumn Maple
Wow, Autumn Maple is another great beer from The Bruery! It is a seasonal dark Belgian style ale brewed with a ton of yams, a ton of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and vanilla), molasses and maple syrup. The first sip of this guy is sweet and you get the strong alcohol flavor coming from the massive 10% ABV, but the next sip is pure awesomeness.
The Bruery: Hottenroth Berliner Weisse
Wow, I really like this beer. It is super super light in both color and alcohol content (3.1%) but it also has a super super flavorful. It is brewed with lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces which are actually bacteria’s that most brewers don’t want to get in their brews because they leave a distinct sour flavor in the beer…
