Drunk while listening to Metallica – Master of Puppets. Seriously they pull out all the stops for this rainbow series. Grabbed from Independent Spirit this is made with “Deep breath” orange zest, pink grapefruit, fermented with Belgian yeast, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops and aged in a white Burgundy wine cask. Two brewers, from two countries, working together and given a colour for the theme of their beer. Another in this year’s rainbow project set of beers. Liberty Brewing on the other hand, this is my first encounter. Breed a Herculean army of yeast for brewing bigger beers than ever before. The first industrial-grade programmable stir plate designed specifically for yeast starters. I had been avoiding a brewery for no good reason. Easy to use with an intuitive interface, the Maelstrom sets the new standard as the most powerful and versatile homebrewing stir plate ever created.
Turns out the only one I had tried was a collaboration and that was awesome. Unfortunately I had to drive, so I could only try one beer however I brought a ton home with me, including Maelstrom IPA. The taproom is spacious, with board games, and a great appetizer menu. We brew a range of different styles - both traditional and modern - using loads of hops from all. Storm Stayed is a small brewery around downtown London. A very specific kind of art, but definitely beer art.īackground: Confession time – was convinced that I had done notes on Burning Sky beers before and wasn’t too impressed by them. Three Sods is a small, independent brewery in East London. Had occasionally this is dry, refreshing, complex yet easy to drink. That very minor point aside though, this is great. If you had it too often I feel the charm would fade. Even beyond being a very summer refresher styled beer, you really have to be in the right mind for it. The only, tiny thing against it is that it is a very specific beer for a very specific time. It doesn’t quite make the “My Favourite” list, despite the evident quality. Then again, maybe it is just the barrel ageing matches the dominant characteristics so well – it is hard to say. The barrel ageing seems restrained as well – the beer is fairly smooth which often points to the barrel ageing, and there is a definite white wine air, but nothing pushed too hard as to hurt the base beer. It brings slight tart grapes and pink grapefruit to really let the tart character shine – the tartness is fresh but far from overwhelming It keeps gently refreshing rather than goes for sour and puckering.Ĭonsidering that the inspiration colour for this beer was orange it is odd that the orange is actually fairly gently used here.
It doesn’t just do that and rest on its laurels though, oh no. is drinking an Intuitive Machine by Saga Brewing Company at Untappd at Home. Purchased at Smitty's Fine Wine & Spirits. Then that carefully layered over the aforementioned pale ale bitter finish. Charlie is drinking a Cosmic Maelstrom by Saga Brewing Company at Untappd at Home. Lots of coconut notes laden through a pineapple fruit juice base beer. The brewery operates a 10-barrel brewhouse. The main, high concept pitch for this, if I had to give one, would be a beery pina colada. Maelstrom Brewing is located in the Totem Lake / PARMAC neighborhood, one block east of the Cross Kirkland Corridor. You do get a recognisably dry pale ale character and accompanying bitterness in the finish, but the main body is fruity all the way. Dry.Ĭonclusion: Now this one really shows the New Zealand side of the rainbow collaboration – lots of tart fruit hop action with the base dry and mostly out of the way. SG 17° P/1.068 alcohol 7.Burning Sky: Liberty Brewing: Descent Into The Maelstrom (England: American Pale Ale: 6.66% ABV) Maelstrom is brewed with pale, Munich and Dextri-pils malts, bittered with German Northern Brewer and finished and dry-hopped with Citra and Amarillo. Blood orange provides tartness and the blush of a brazen sea, Citra and Amarillo hops from the Yakima Valley offer bite and aroma, and orange peel suggests a little something else on the wind. Stray too close and you may not escape the currents of this tender trap. BE THERE!!!ĭown, down, down Maelstrom will go, pulling the hapless beer enthusiast in with a beguiling blend of blood orange, Northwest hops and sweet orange peel.
