Find Your New Brew in August

Find A Brew Tastings are great for trying new products and finding a new favorite brew. This August our Find A Brew tastings have been all about gearing up for the fall season with beers that have an autumn feel. Below are a few of the seasonal beers we will be tasting this month.

Redd’s Wicked Ale

Redd’s has rolled out a twist on the classic Apple Ale with a bolder flavor that is still refreshing. Wicked Ale is crisp like an apple, yet it stays true to its golden ale roots. The taste is similar to the apple ale with low malt and hints of bitterness. It has a crisp finish that is sure to please anyone who is looking to branch out and try something new.

Blue Moon Belgium White Ale

Belgium White Ale is brewed with oats to produce a creamy and spiced flavor. This beer is the perfect combination of orange peel and coriander. It has a smooth taste, which is uncommon for a Belgian style. White Ale is a hazy yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is very citrusy with flavors of orange and lemon. You will also find it has a sweet taste. We recommend garnishing your Belgium White with an orange slice for some added zest!

Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale

Harvest Pumpkin Ale was the first autumn seasonal brew crafted by Blue Moon back in 1995. It is made with pumpkin and spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice that represent all the tastes of fall. Unlike other pumpkin ales, it’s a perfect balance of pumpkin and spices for a very smooth, pleasant taste. Not only is Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale great for drinking, but it is also great for baking. Check out this delicious recipe for Harvest Pumpkin Ale cupcakes.

Leinenkugel’s Hoppin Hellis

Made with the citrus hops Citra, Simcoe, Cluster, Centennial and Chinook, Hoppin Helles is a truly refreshing brew. The taste is a great combination of light, sweet malt with hoppy notes and infused crisp fruit. It finishes a bit bitter with a mild, citrus hop flavor. The lightness of the beer pays homage to its roots with helles – meaning light-colored in German.
