Perennial Artisan Ales Carolina Gold

What the brewers say

“Lagered saison ale brewed with heritage rice.”

What our panel thought

“Semi-classic saison aromas with a hint of Coors Banquet leads to spicy flavor and coarse effervescence. Light hints of sweet corn dance within the subtle aroma with notes of stone fruit, pepper, and leather. Firm bitterness balances the full-bodied finish.”

What our editors thought

“Phenolic spice plays against a bit of sweet alcohol in the nose, amplifying the touch of fruit aroma. The sip plays a bit too loose, as a firm but pleasant bitterness comes over the top of the lighter body, leaving it unsupported.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Perennial Artisan Ales Hainaut

Bright gold with lush foam and lace. Bright Noble-hop aroma, spicy and grassy, with Sprite-like lemon-lime notes and clean, bready malt. Soft smoke-and-spice phenolics. Soft, light, grainy flavor, with simple but pleasant herbal-grassy bitterness and notes of pepper and light fruit. Lively. Fairly bitter. Dry finish with lingering pepper-spice. Tastes like a well-made pilsner given an expressive fermentation. Very nice.

Blackberry Farm Brewery Mixed Culture Brett Saison

“Restrained nose, sweet and slightly savory with ginger, scallion or chive blossom, sake wine. Citrus more apparent in the flavor: pineapple, orange, pear. Herbal hops add complexity. Fruity accentuated by tart, not quite sour, notes.”

American Solera Solero

“Golden in color, brilliantly clear except a floating (hop?) haze. Notably puffy white head lingers. Mild citrus, light melon, and kiwi hops on the nose. Well-integrated, firm hop bitterness and flavor. Blueberry hop emerges as the bitterness fades, complements the grainy, doughy pils malt. Cracker-like crispness with a clean, off-dry finish.”

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.

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.
