Beer Review: MadTree Lift

From MadTree Brewing here in Cincinnati, Ohio, this is my look at Lift which is a Kölsch style ale that comes in at 4.7% ABV and 11 IBU. Refreshing and crisp, this beer is what I needed after a long day of work. Subtle citrus flavor throughout this smooth offering, made me had to pace this one to avoid just chugging it down. A nice lighter profile accompanies this ale which uses 4 malts and 4 hops that come together for a nice balance. For anyone looking to jump from macro to craft, a Kölsch provides a pleasant way to do so. This one was pretty solid from its appearance all the way through and its one that for me scored a “good choice” 81.

Check out my video to hear and see more of my thoughts on this one, and if you have had it as well then let me know what you thought of it by leaving a comment. Cheers and remember…there’s always time, so Get Your Beer On!
