The hops are from an area where one of the primary tastes of the wines grown there is "cat's pee". I am not kidding.<BR/><BR/>Calypso was the most unique I've ever had. The burning in your mouth after while is, well, fun. Not something I would want everyday, but an excellent experiment as I would expect from Roots.<BR/><BR/>phil varnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167295487172421470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-53921664744774529692008-07-24T17:14:00.000-07:002008-07-24T17:14:00.000-07:00Okay... end of day one... day two is when I get to...Okay... end of day one... day two is when I get to arrive to partake, so... what is a mandatory try before it runs out?<BR/><BR/>Much thanks for the PDF btw, already on the iTouch for perusal at the event.Dann Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788286445033083370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-61326819552522584692008-07-24T16:32:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:32:00.000-07:00You might have listed it under Bock in the your pr...You might have listed it under Bock in the your previous article.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't say that Mai Bocks are subtle in flavor or character. It's a 6.5 - 7% alcohol beer with a usual rich malt complexity and characteristics. In using the right balance of German Noble Hops these beers can be very herbal and spicy. Some very rich with malt complexity with hints of rum, treacle, toast and more.

Maibocks are the very definition of subtlety--they're soft and gentle and in many situations can be sublime. But the beerfest is a place I'm afraid this beer--which, having lived in the Badger State, I know well--will get lost in the shuffle. It's a perfect back-porchJeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-71380565570275386132008-07-24T11:38:00.000-07:002008-07-24T11:38:00.000-07:00Jeff, Here's your KEY statement, "...But we don't ...Jeff, <BR/><BR/>Here's your KEY statement, "...But we don't go to the Fest to enjoy beers we love, we go there to try the new and exciting." <BR/><BR/>Poetry my friend!!<BR/><BR/>We can go to any local pub or brewery and have the beers we like and love. For that matter, we can go to most local Pubs and get a nice variety of our indigenous ingredient.... Hops.... and all beers and beer styles thatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
