Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been keeping myself very busy. But onwards we go. Lets start with some recent beer tastings. Over this weekend I discovered the amazing West Lakeview Liqours store. Not only was it a rare beer paradise, but they had so many whiskeys I will have to go back and grab a few. I was able to grab a few beers, the first of which is the Mikkeller Nelson Sauvin IPA. To be honest, I bought this beer due to Nelson in the name but I was very pleasantly surprised. Nelson Sauvin hops are native to New Zealand and very different from your typical hop. The beer had a very fruity, full flavor with a slight bitterness. I hesitate to say it tastes like wine, but the flavor was very rich and not too bitter. I would highly recommend it.
Next up, and update on the Seal Ale. After bottling and conditioning for 2 weeks, I tried a Seal ale. It is very light, about 3%, but still refreshing and has a nice crisp taste. Perfect for these hot, humid days coming up. I also made a label for the beer. Check it out above.
Finally, I brewed an IPA yesterday for the start of wedding season. Name has yet to be determined, but I will post the recipe and a summary of the brewing in the next few days. It uses 3 different hops and should be a great summer beer with a hoppy profile.
