Rod J and Krunch - Craft Beers Gone Wild 5/5/16 ��

Checking out two new beers for Craft Beers Gone Wild...

Beer Review: Huma Lupa Licious Brings Da Hops! ��

Huma Lupa Licious’ name derives from the hop plant, Humulus lupulus. It
is Short’s best-selling India Pale Ale. Huma Lupa Licious is brewed with
five different hop varieties, providing a punch to the palate. Between
the beer’s abundance of hops, and the type of hops used in its creation,
it has a delicious bitter taste and enticing citrus aroma. The hearty
malt bill melds well with the hops for a perfect balance. Huma is the
product of Joe Short wanting to create the ultimate IPA experience.
Originally, Huma Lupa Licious was named Humulus Lupulus Maximus, and
went through several recipe changes before settling on the recipe we
know and love today.

Beer Review: Beer Camp 2016 Edition ��

Sierra Nevada Description:

Fruit-forward hops take this IPA to the tropics. Beer Camp is the ultimate brewing experience. We invite beer fans into
our brewery nearly every week to design their own beer and then we bring
it to life. Each spring, we’ll feature one of our favorite
collaborations from the previous year. This year’s selection features
intensely aromatic hop varietals rich with the flavors of the tropics.
We use Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado hops to create bright fruit-forward
flavors of mango, papaya and bitter orange.

Beer Review: Road Warrior Steps On The Rye ��

Our imperial rye IPA is brewed in the name of our Road Warriors - the
sales team who tirelessly hit the streets, traveling from town to town
and pub to pub sharing the Green Flash experience. Road Warrior charges
full flavor forward. Columbus and Mosaic hops, rich crystal and spicy
rye malts pave the way for Mosaic and Amarillo dry-hopping to boldly
shine through in the finish. Raise a glass to those who never settle! 

Beer Review: A Cold Mountain Tasting ��

From Highland Brewing Company: Our spiced winter seasonal complements all your holiday festivities. It
is typically malty in body, lightly hopped, and rounded out with a
delicious mix of spices that vary from year to year as we search for the
best vanilla, hazelnut and other flavors. If you see it in the store,
don't wait!

Beer Review: Rounding Third via MadTree Brewing ��

Brewed to celebrate the start of our favorite pastime. Rounding Third
has a slight caramel semisweet malt backbone balanced by a strong hop
profile. Dry hopped with Falconers Flight and Simcoe that will have your
pallet rounding third and heading for home.

Beer Review: Crankshaft IPA Revs

A more approachable version of the typical American IPA, hop aroma and
flavor forward. Notes of citrus, mangoes, and tropical fruit dominate.
The bitterness is more rounded than most, due to primarily late hop
additions, as well as dry hopping. The use of 3 different types of malts
give this brew a more balanced body and slight amber/light Caramel
color.
