Black Shirt Brewing Slant Rhyme

What the brewers say

“Notes of Moroccan lemons, orange Popsicle, grilled limes, and grapefruit juice. Bright and compelling.”

What our panel thought

“Appealing citrus, resin nose. Gose is lost in most of the hops, emerging as a refreshingly tart and hoppy American wheat. Sour and hoppy lend a muddled note to the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Where’s the line between Gose and sour IPA? This beer flaunts the deficiencies in definition—it doesn’t capture the fruit juiciness of sour IPAs but delivers far more hops than a typical Gose as the acid and bitterness create a bit of a jumble.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Creature Comforts Tritonia

“The pineapple aroma is incredibly appealing, with a bit of depth from lime. The base beer is lost to that huge tart and juicy overripe pineapple, and just a whisper of wheat hints at the malt.”

Epic Brewing Intermountain Wheat

“Light bready notes and hints of orange in both the aroma and the flavor. Very light hopping is mostly floral with a hint of tropical guava. Low bitterness.”

Black Shirt Brewing Okul Wheat IPA

Hints of spearmint, pine, citrus, and light caramel malt create an unusual aroma for the style. The flavor pro-file is equally unusual with aspects of onion, garlic, pine, and grapefruit pith in a light caramel malt backbone. It finishes a bit dry and lightly bitter, but it doesn’t linger. The caramel notes make the beer seem more filling than refreshing.
