Another local brewery, another new beer in a can. Man, we love cans! Cans, cans, cans, let's drink 'em all up!
Bauhaus Hairbanger Belgo-style American Pale Ale. Toasty & tropical. One of their "Seasonal Curiousites." Also, "Limited Release." 5.5% ABV. 50 IBU. 16 oz. Proudly brewed by Bauhaus Brew Labs, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Enough of that, time for my first-ever "Belgo-APA." (Cause the Belgo IPA is so yesterday's news.)
Appearance: lightly hazed, bright amber coloring, slim white head atop.
Aroma: Sweet, funky, fruity Belgian yeast greets the nose first, following by citric and floral American hops. A nice combination.
Taste: There it is, the sticky, bubble-gummy Belgian yeast flavors, playing with the snap and tickle of citrus-y American hops. Clean, lean-bodied, refreshing and delicious. Good beer, and you can drink it. Easy-going APA with a tasty twist.
I can't get my head around the name, though. Essentially a reference to thrashing one's long, luxurious locks in rhythm to metal music. Maybe the gobbledygook will fill me in? "Here's a beer that bangs to the beat of it's own double bass drum. Hairbanger features toasty malts and a classic Belgian yeast amplified by big, citrusy tropical American hops. This beer hits as hard as your favorite power chord. Turn it up, raise a fist, and rock out with this one, brother. Leather pants strongly encouraged."
