Notes From the Road

Today I am writing from my phone in the great city of Nashville. Been here since last night and have been loving every moment so far. And I've got the rest of tonight to get into some trouble.

Because I am walking down Broadway St as I write this, I am going to have a slightly different format for today's post. The Crew and I made a stop at the Yazoo Brewery over in The Gulch and sampled a number of their beers from the Tap Room. I took some notes on each of them and will be copying below. Overall they had really delicious brews, and if you have the chance to stop in Nashville I definitely recommend stopping in for a visit. I know I will be again.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend as much as I am!

Here are my notes:

Amarillo Pale Ale
- citrusy, nice hop finish with good balance of bitterness. Golden with thick foamy white head, very smooth and crisp.

Dos Perros
- malty and sweet, roasty flavors with a good amount of hops notes. Dark amber color and very clear.

Onward Stout
- rich with coffee flavor that looks like a cup of espresso when poured into the glass. Finishes very clean and the use nitrogen instead of co2 gives it an almost creamy texture.

Hop Project #54
- tons of floral aromas at first, and a burst of what I think is cascade hops in the taste and finish. Orange/gold color with a bitterness that is bold and delicious.

Hefeweizen
- fruity and tart, very similar to what a typical hefeweizen should be. Hefe = cloudy/yeasty; weizen = wheat. Very delicious for a summer beer.

GERST
- amber style ale, kind of reminds me of an Oktoberfest beer. Mellow flavor and very smooth to drink. The hops and malt play off each other very well.
