Leinenkugel Berry Weiss 4.7% ABV - Okay I'm Game

Berry, berry and more berry is what one can expect with the Berry Weiss from the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company. Coming in at 4.7% ABV this beer provides a nice refreshing quality and has a subtleness of something like a flavored soda more than anything. After a few the sweetness can definitely catch up to a person, so I don’t see much with working through a six pack with this one. But as a way to break up a routine with something different, this does just that. Check out my video here to see my other thoughts on this one. My Untappd score on this one: 3 out of 5.

Mt. Carmel Oh My Darlin' Saisontine 7.1% ABV - Well Hello

The Oh My Darling Saisontine from Mt. Carmel Brewing Company is Saison Farmhouse ale that comes in at a little more than one would usually expect for this style of ale. The ABV on this ale is at 7.1% which is a little higher than expected and the IBU’s are at 26.5 which provide just enough of a hop kick in my opinion.

They talk about how they use a heavy dose of fruit for this beer and that does come through for sure, almost making alike an IPA in the aroma and taste, but then on the back end that familiar aroma of Saisons does emerge. The beer itself is one of their non-year round offerings and they note it as a Summer sipper, although I found it to be more suited for a late Summer feel myself or even a Fall offering.

You can see the review here to hear my more detailed thoughts on the beer, but overall I found it to be pleasing enough. It didn’t knock me back or really surprise me, but it handled itself fine enough that I would probably drink it again if need be. My Untappd score on this one: 3.25 out of 5.

Boozing With Goodwood Rum Barrel Oktoberfest 7% ABV

I must admit that I am a fan of barrel aging and when seeing that Goodwood Brewing had a beer that was rum barreled well I was pretty much sold on giving it a go. The Rum Barrel Oktoberfest from Goodwood is a Marzen that comes in at 7% ABV and the idea of having that rum flavor piqued my interest.

What I found with this one was what I hoped; the rum came out nicely in the aroma as well as the taste. And it came out of the glass very easily without any issue of being able to pick it up. Is it boozy in the taste, yeah it is but you kind of expect that with some of these barrel aged beer. And with me not usually being a big Oktoberfest fan, this was something of a difference maker for me.

Not only did the rum come out in the aroma and taste, but so did the oak. These characteristics were able to add to what is the usual aroma and taste of the Oktoberfest, and for me enhance it. I still got some of the basic lager characteristics but they were taken down a notch after being replaced by the added experience. I will say though that the texture did play a little thin and watery, especially on the initial taste but by the finish, it seemed to end with a little bit of pleasantness.

Overall, I found this beer to be decent enough but unlike most lagers, I would say to let it warm up a little bit first. Doing so seemed to enhance the flavor from when it is taken right from the fridge. In the end, My Untappd score: 3.5 Out of 5.

Beer Review: New Belgium Citradelic Exotic Lime Ale

Some days you just want a nice refreshing ale and on this day, the Citradelic Exotic Lime Ale from New Belgium got the call. Unlike its predecessor which is an IPA, this version was done as a Golden ale. Carrying a nice 5.2% ABV, this one was not one to worry about being too heavy and its 21 IBU let you know that the bitterness would be low as well. The thought of the use of Persian lime and ground coriander caught my interest due to me love of Belgian Ales, and the hint of cracked black pepper made it a little intriguing. I was looking forward to trying this one; check out my video to see how it compares.
