Westbrook Brewing Co. Festbrook Wiesn-Style Gold Lager

Posted on by Evan

This beer, Festbrook from Westbrook Brewing Co. in Mt. Pleasent, South Carolina, is a Wiesn-style golden lager with CTZ, dry-hopped with Hallertal Mittelfruh hops, German Lager yeast, Munich, Pils, and Vienna malts. This beer is 6.5% ABV. This beer, according to the brewery, is great for drinking by the masses. This feist beer pours golden with a two-finger white semi-quick fading head. The aroma is sweet, with light banana, wheat, and malt. The flavor is malty, sweet, clean, dry, light banana, and light bodies. The mouthfeel is light. This beer finishes with a lightness that is dry with some sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing with light semi-sweetness. This beer is so delicious and deserving of an A+. I always enjoy Westbrook Brewing beers, and this one is no different, and you shouldn’t miss out on this October seasonal. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly!

Hopfly Brewing Co. Our Time Lager

Posted on by Evan

This is Our Time Lager from Hopyfly Brewing Co., and it is in association with Carolina Ascent FC (Football Club), a women’s soccer team in the USL. I purchased this 4.5% ABV beer at Hopfly here in Charlotte. This beer pours gold with a barely two-finger white head. The aroma is of cereal grain, sweetness, and some bread notes. The flavor is crisp, and the cereal gains light cereal grains and some light white bread. It doesn’t smell like white bread. The mouthfeel is light and crisp. Then, it finishes with a slightly crisp grain flavor and a crisp semi-sweet aftertaste. Lager doesn’t have a great deal of bold flavors. But this one came close. I’d say this is a B+. A solid, delicious, and refreshing beer that is easy to drink and smooth. But for the Hopfly Brewing Co., the taproom has lots of plants, cocktails, and beer. The whole place/taproom gets a B-. I’d recommend going to their taproom and having Our Time Lager. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Burial Beer Bolo Coconut Brown

Posted on by Evan

It is dark beer time of the year, it’s getting closer. This is Bolo Coconut Brown Ale from Burial Beer. This Brown beer is 5.6% ABV with nine barley malts, oats, and brown sugar and finished with a hefty amount of coconut. The beer pours a dark brown color with a one-finger tan head. The aroma is sweet, coconut, and some malty chocolate. The flavor is malty, semi-chocolaty, sweet, coconut, and nutty, and it has a light body for a brown ale. This beer has a lighter mouthfeel for a beer of this style. Then, this brown ale finishes with a nutty, malty coconut. The aftertaste is malty coconut with hints of coca. This good beer is nice and light for a brown ale. I give this Bolo Coconut Brown Ale an A. I suggest you drink this beer. The coconut is not dominant, but you get a light sense of coconut. It is a good dark beer for a crisp day/evening. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
