hoppy lager

Brew date: 05 - 25 - 25

This dry-hopped west coast pilsner is the perfect beer for summer sessions.

Appearance: Pale golden with a slight haze. A bright, effervescent pour capped by a dense, white head that lingers and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma: Fresh and vibrant. Notes of gooseberry, white grape, and tropical fruit from the Nelson Sauvin, layered with Mosaic’s punchy aromas of blueberry, papaya, and a hint of pine. A soft bread backbone from the pilsner malt supports the bouquet of hops.

Flavor: Hop-forward yet balanced. Juicy white wine-like flavors from Nelson Sauvin blend with Mosaic’s tropical citrus and subtle herbal bite. The malt character is clean and restrained - light honeyed cracker and grain with just enough sweetness to frame the hops.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and crisp with a smooth, dry finish. Moderate carbonation adds to the beer’s refreshing quality, making it highly drinkable.

Overall Impression: A modern twist on the classic pilsner - bright, aromatic, and crisp. The dry hop character shines without overwhelming the delicate malt base. Perfect for hop lovers looking for something clean and crushable.

Tasting Notes:

A bright and expressive take on a new-school lager, this hoppy Pilsner doesn’t bother whispering — it leads with a confident burst of white grape, gooseberry, and tropical citrus that could trick you into thinking you’re sipping something far louder than a pale lager. Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic team up in the dry hop to deliver a punchy, fruit-forward nose that hits like Sauvignon Blanc spiked with blueberries and papaya, while still letting the crisp, bready spine of Pilsner malt do its job. Feather-light on the palate with a snap-clean finish, it drinks like a classic but hums with the kind of hop presence that keeps IPA drinkers coming back for another pour. Subtle pine, a flicker of bitterness, and a crisp dryness seal the deal — an unapologetically refreshing beer that plays nice with sunshine, good company, and one more round.

Hazy Ipa

Have you ever had an epiphany? This is like that, but delicious.

Appearance: Hazy pale gold with a glowing, sunlit vibrancy. A soft, dense white head rises and holds steady, leaving a lacing that clings to the glass as it slowly recedes. The addition of oats and wheat creates a plush, opaque body that signals what’s to come.

Aroma: An expressive bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus leaps out of the glass. Juicy notes of mango, orange pulp, and pineapple are layered with Mosaic’s blueberry and papaya, while Citra brings bursts of tangerine and passionfruit. A dank, resinous undercurrent from CTZ adds depth and contrast to the fruit-saturated nose.

Flavor: A hop-saturated showcase that balances juice and dankness. Ripe citrus and tropical flavors dominate — think orange creamsicle, mango nectar, and passionfruit — while Mosaic adds a splash of berry brightness. CTZ provides a grounding resinous edge, preventing the beer from leaning too sweet. The malt character is clean and supportive, with soft cracker and a hint of honey carrying the hops forward.

Mouthfeel: Velvety and smooth thanks to the wheat and oats, with a pillowy body that coats the palate. Medium carbonation keeps it lively without cutting the creaminess. The finish lingers with a sticky yet balanced hop bitterness, encouraging another sip.

Overall Impression: A modern hazy IPA with a saturated hop profile that leans into citrus, tropical fruit, and berry, all wrapped in a soft, creamy body. Expressive yet balanced, it delivers big flavor without overwhelming, making it both bold and approachable at 6.5%.

Tasting Notes:

Brewed with a malt bill of Superior Pilsen, White Wheat, Flaked Oats, and Golden Naked Oats, this IPA pours with a pale golden haze and a soft, pillowy body that lays the groundwork for a hop-driven showcase. Whirlpool additions of Citra, Mosaic, and CTZ lay down deep fruit tones with flashes of resin, while the dry hop of Citra Cryo and Mosaic Cryo turns up the dial on saturated juice character. Fermented with Imperial’s Juice yeast, esters of ripe tropical fruit weave seamlessly into the hop bouquet, amplifying notes of orange pulp, mango nectar, blueberry skin, and fresh-cut pineapple. CTZ cuts through with just enough dank edge to keep things from floating away too sweetly, grounding the finish in a resinous grip.

On the palate, it’s a full-throttle juice box of citrus and tropical fruit with creamy oats and wheat giving a velvety mouthfeel. A touch of sweetness up front quickly transitions to waves of tangerine, passionfruit, and papaya, leaving behind a sticky, resin-kissed bitterness that lingers without overstaying. At 6.5%, it’s approachable yet expressive, a hazy IPA that hits with both saturation and balance, begging for another sip.

Maibock

Bold, German, and fresh with tidy finish - this beer might be the one.

Appearance: Light amber with brilliant clarity, catching the light like polished honey. A dense, off-white head forms on the pour, with tight bubbles that linger briefly before settling into a fine ring around the glass. The SRM sits in that classic Maibock range, just dark enough to hint at malt depth while still shining golden.

Aroma: Rich malt aromatics take center stage — fresh-baked bread, honeyed crackers, and a touch of toasted biscuit from the Munich and Vienna backbone. A subtle nutty sweetness and hints of light caramel from the Aromatic malt add dimension. Noble hops (Tettnang and Magnum) peek through with delicate herbal and floral tones, offering balance without intruding on the malt’s showcase. Clean fermentation from the W-34/70 yeast leaves it crisp and refined.

Flavor: Smooth and malt-forward, with layers of honey, fresh bread, and lightly toasted grains carrying through from the aroma. The malt sweetness is firm but never cloying, balanced by a soft bitterness that provides structure without sharpness. A touch of herbal and spicy hop character from the Tettnang lingers mid-palate, finishing with a clean, slightly dry snap that keeps the high ABV hidden and the beer dangerously drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a rounded, smooth texture. The ABV provides a gentle warmth that unfolds slowly but never dominates. Carbonation is moderate, lifting the malt sweetness just enough to keep it from feeling heavy. Rich yet elegant, finishing crisp in classic lager fashion.

Overall Impression: A showcase of malt richness and lagering percision, this Maibock pours golden-amber with inviting clarity and a smooth, bready aroma that hints at honey and toasted grain. The flavor is malt-forward yet balanced, weaving layers of fresh bread crust, light caramel, and subtle nuttiness with a clean noble hop presence that keeps the finish crisp. W-34/70 fermentation provides a clean canvas that lets the grain shine, while the moderate bitterness reins in sweetness without intruding. Warming but not hot, smooth yet refreshing, ti delivers the hallmark drinkability of a strong later: bold in strength but elegant in execution.

Tasting Notes:

Dating back centuries, Maibocks have always been the celebration beer of spring: strong enough to ward off the last chill of winter but bright and golden enough to welcome longer days. This Maibock was brewed to celebrate the coming of fall and to keep you warm through winter. Ours pours like liquid sunlight with a polished copper glow, leaning heavy into a malt bill that layers warm honey, fresh-baked brioche, and a brush of toasted almonds. Every sip rolls rich and smooth, yet the noble hop additions keep it from ever dragging, flashing gentle notes of meadow herbs and dried flowers that pull the palate back into balance. At 8.27% it’s deceptive in its drinkability, with the kind of hidden strength that sneaks up only after the glass is gone. This is a lager that doesn’t rush; it stretches across the palate with grace, finishing crisp and dry but leaving behind the memory of malt sweetness, like the last rays of sun on a long evening.

Imperial hazy ipa

Vibrant fruit and flavor with the cloud-like body to match.

Appearance: Radiant golden haze with a soft orange hue and dense, glowing opacity. A rich, meringue-like head caps the glass, leaving thick lace as it falls. Its 6.2 SRM color sits perfectly in that sweet spot between golden juice and sunlit apricot nectar — unmistakably hazy and full of life.

Aroma: An aromatic onslaught of white grape, lychee, and ripe peach leaps from the glass, chased by bursts of fresh lime, gooseberry, and tropical mango from the Motueka and Citra. The Nelson hop oil deepens everything — turning fruit aromatics into a full sensory halo. Hints of honeydew, crushed kiwi, and soft floral sweetness drift through, layered by the Juice yeast’s stone-fruit esters.

Flavor: Explosively juicy. Waves of passionfruit, white grape, and orange creamsicle roll across the palate, giving way to notes of sweet peach flesh and lime zest. The backbone of pale malt and oats provides a gentle honey-like sweetness that carries through mid-palate before drying gracefully into a white-wine finish. Bitterness is feather-light yet purposeful — more structure than bite — allowing each hop’s fruit character to shine untamed.

Mouthfeel: Silky, plush, and luxuriously creamy. The flaked oats and wheat lay down a pillowy texture that pairs with low carbonation for a near-chewy mouthfeel. At 7.88%, the alcohol warmth is stealthy — buried beneath the haze of tropical fruit and vinous sweetness.

Overall Impression: A lush, expressive Double Hazy IPA that bridges the gap between New Zealand vineyard and Pacific orchard. Nelson and Motueka drive a bright, zesty core, while Rakau and Citra fill out the edges with stone fruit and tropical depth. The result is pure juice — hazy, soft, and endlessly aromatic — a beer that delivers big flavor while staying effortlessly drinkable.

Tasting Notes:

Think gooseberry gelato, lime sorbet, peach nectar, and a whisper of Sauvignon Blanc. The aroma alone feels like a walk through a citrus orchard in bloom. Each sip lands with waves of tropical fruit and finishes with the dryness of sun-kissed grapes. Creamy, bright, and dangerously smooth — this Hazy IIPA hits that perfect harmony between pillowy mouthfeel and vibrant hop saturation.
