What the brewers say

“Smooth and malty with a clean finish, this is our tribute to the German tradition.”

What our panel thought

“Rich bready malt, with light hint of spice. The flavor is appropriately malty, but the finish is crisp and dry. The bitterness is a touch assertive, lasting into the finish, with a fruity ester. Leans a bit sweet, going a bit drier in the finish, with a slightly rough, earthy-herbal bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Toasty almond and marzipan notes on the nose lead to a slightly loose sip with a bit of carbonic bite in the front that quickly fades into a pleasant but unremarkable body.”

How We Review

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Otra Vez

“Crystal-clear golden pour with pillowy white head. Floral lime and lime-zest aroma dominates. Strong margarita theme. Lime carries subtle sweetness over balanced lactic acidity. Nice salt undercurrent. Very drinkable, refreshing—a great post-workout beer.”

Lakefront Brewery Inc Oktoberfest

“A toasty malt aroma leads to a deeper malt flavor, with toffee, light raisin, and a hint of roasted marshmallow. Compelling aroma, with floral accents, wildflower honey. The finish is relatively dry, with almost a hint of roast along with a light brush of earthy hops.”

Starr Hill Brewery LLC Ramble On Juicy IPA

“Citrus, banana, mango, and guava up front in the aroma, with pine in the background. Taste combines bitter and fruity flavors balanced with malt sweetness and a pungent sweet, sticky, resiny hops element. Definitely on the sweeter side, but really well executed.”

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

Out-of-this-world flavor that packs a punch—take a journey with Cosmic Crusher. “Cosmic Crusher is our crazy adventure into the realm of imperial juicy IPAs,” says brewmaster Matt Brynildson. 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.
