Year of New Beer: Prairie Hop, Prairie Artisan Ales (OK)

Written By: Dion on 09/16/2014

Wonderfully aromatic with apricot, tart peach, lemon zest, white pepper...and a nice damp hay/wheat, barnyard funk. The fruits hit the tongue with a sharpness, bolstered by a seltzer, mineral dryness. Fleeting, floral sweetness mid-palate. Crisp grassy hops provide a bitterness that is drying through the finish. Outstanding. Many thanks to my friend Ralph Quillin for sharing this beer with me. Make the drive to Rooster Brew in Paris and let him pick a bottle for you.
