Creature Comforts Brewing Co. Seeds Take Up the Soil

What the brewers say

“Celebrates the sweet potato and the story of agriculture and people from Africa to the South.”

What our panel thought

“A strong vanilla, marshmallow-led nose, then a medley of pumpkin-pie spices in the aroma and flavor. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, a slightly astringent sweetness. As it warms, more of an orange-pith impression. Peppery, perfume-like hop notes in the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Bold nutty nose with a slight herbal mintiness and a creamy, almost root beer–like spice that follows into the flavor. Soft, earthy sweet-potato notes emerge to buffer the spice.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Fonta Flora Brewery Your Tai

“Aroma is tangerine peel, peach, strawberry, kiwi, pine forest. Hop flavors are fresh, crisp, with a citrus aftertaste. Firm yet balanced malt background. Brief berry-forward finish with lingering bitterness.”

Creature Comforts Brewing Co. Neon Cylinders: Sun Glow

“Dark yellow in color with a frothy white head that lasts a while. An interesting, layered medley of fruit greets the nose—honey, tangerine, mimosa-like. Tangerine juice leads the taste, with some soft woody notes. Very pleasant and addictive with an assertive sourness that overpowers any sweetness and drives the fruit flavors to the background. These come out to play in the finish, with the apricot especially lingering on the tongue. The aroma is definitely the highlight of this one.”
