Cerebral Brewing Hereditary Title

What the brewers say

Brewed with spelt and wheat and hopped with Citra and Nelson Sauvin. Aged on second-use Palisade viognier grapes and third-use Colorado apricots and California nectarines for four months.

What our panel thought

Aroma of bright lemon, orange peel, lime pith, and peach, with subtle wine-grape and light funk. Boldly acidic with bright citrus, heightening the experience but obscuring other fruity aromatics. Vinous notes emerge for a dry finish.

What our editors thought

Warm and woody white wine–grape nose with faint tropical fruit. The sip accelerates with a sharp lactic-acid hit that settles between pillars of earthy _Brett _and dried citrus. A bit intense for the expectation set by the aroma.

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Baere Brewing Company Not Forgotten

Sour lactic aroma, lemony, with earthy mushroom and gueuze-like funk. Tart flavor, earthy and woody, with a pleasant umami hint that softens it. Some astringency and tannin. Barrel adds layers without overpowering the beer. Pleasant and interesting, like a wood-accented gueuze.

Ahnapee Brewery Raspberry Spritzbier

Sexy violet color. Aroma: black raspberry and plum-skin dark fruit. Slight smoky, charred note; touch of white bread, Cheerio. Moderate acidity—a bit harsh—and tannic skin or seed. Fruit wine without the alcohol. All about the fruit, but muddled.

Cerebral Brewing Last Scion

Inviting nose, tart and vinous—dark fruit, a touch of malty sweetness, hints of roast, subtle medicinal note—and slightly jammy like a big Cab. Flavor is a touch piney, with strong but nicely judged acidity. Notes of meyer lemon lend a sweet impression. Low flavors of dark cherries and apricots. Lively mouthfeel, finishing tart and dry, leaving pleasant wine-like tannins. I want this with a big, marbled, dry-aged ribeye.
