Melvin Brewing Eureka (House of Flying Barrels) Mindful Monkeys

What the brewers say

“Tropical sour with hefty amounts of the goods.”

What our panel thought

“Pulpy bright orange color with a steady white head. Passion fruit–mango nose. Tart tangerine flavor has a vinous, almost champagne quality that dances around the fruit components. A moderate amount of sourness lingers slightly on the tongue. One for the white-wine fans.”

What our editors thought

“Classic POG nose with subtle phenolics that focus more in the sip for an oddly tropically bitter feel.”

How We Review

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Melvin Brewing Eureka (House of Flying Barrels) Mystic Tigers

“Vibrant pink. Generic aroma of tropical-fruit punch. The passion fruit comes out very late in the retrosnasal and lingers. More tropical fruit in the flavor, with low sweetness into moderately strong but not harsh acidity. Extremely dry, leaving a puckering, astringent finish.”

Melvin Brewing Eureka (House of Flying Barrels) Death Muffin

“Vanilla aroma with coffee and cream. Deep-flavored fudge, vanilla, almond hit the palate first followed by subdued cinnamon, banana. Sweetness at the end quickly leaves the tongue. Hefty mouthfeel.”

American Solera I Wanna Talk About Mosaic

“Peppery tropical-fruit salad, melon, citrus, and pine say, ‘Drink me.’ Dank, earthy, and a bit vegetal in the aroma, with some subtle hints of garlic and chives. Sweet malt supports the peach and strawberry notes dancing in the background, while the soft bitterness blurs the line between juicy and West Coast.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

Sierra Nevada Cosmic Little Thing Hazy Double IPA

For the latest in the Hazy IPA series, ride Sierra Nevada’s interstellar wave of tropical flavor in this Cosmic Little Thing, a hazy nebula glowing with Comet, Strata, and Helios hops for notes of citrus, berries, and lychee. Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

Firestone Walker Cosmic Crusher Juicy Imperial IPA

Cosmic Crusher is built around two ultra-tropical hops—Galaxy and Strata. The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character. SKUs available: 12 oz six-pack cans, 19.2 oz single serve, and Mind Haze Variety Pack.
