Dave's BrewFarm Life Hands U Lemons
Dave's BrewFarm Life Hands U Lemons. (KISSEd by Orange was Dave's tribute to Kiss, so I can only guess that using the letter U instead of the word "You" is his special nod to Prince.)
6.9% ABV. Other info to come.
This is one that I never saw on tap, but was able to get a growler on my last visit. Let's just open it up and dig on in.
Appearance: clear-ish, with a slight chill haze, bright golden hued, nearly amber, generous white head settles to a modest height.
Aroma: Citrus-y from the start, with hints of spices on the side. Very likable.
Taste: Kiss of the hops from the start, with the lemon twist coming in soon after. Malt side is light, lean, and supportive. I forgot to mention delicious. Oh, so tasty. Brisk and refreshing, terrifically consumable. The lemon grows bigger and louder the more we drink, but it's nicely balanced by the malt. Delicious. I said that twice now. To mix things up, I'll next call it "super good."
"Of course, you brew beer! (the answer to the question posed, sort of, by the name) Pale malt, Bramling Cross, Brewer's Gold and Select hops, brown sugar, and a late addition of lemon peels. Fermented with a French Saison yeast."
