Beers Registered (5)

Tate's Helles

Munich Helles
Pale Malty European Lager
Package
A clean, malty, gold-colored German lager with a smooth grainy-sweet malty flavor and a soft, dry finish. Subtle spicy, floral, or herbal hops and restrained bitterness help keep the balance malty but not sweet, which helps make this beer a refreshing, everyday drink.
ABV: 4.7% to 5.4%
IBU: 16 to 22

Apalach IPA

American IPA
IPA
Package
A decidedly hoppy and bitter, moderately strong American pale ale, showcasing modern American or New World hop varieties. The balance is hop-forward, with a clean fermentation profile, dryish finish, and clean, supporting malt allowing a creative range of hop character to shine through.
ABV: 5.5% to 7.5%
IBU: 40 to 70

Mill Pond Blonde

Blonde Ale
Pale American Ale
Package
Easy-drinking, approachable, malt-oriented American craft beer, often with interesting fruit, hop, or character malt notes. Well-balanced and clean, is a refreshing pint without aggressive flavors.
ABV: 3.8% to 5.5%
IBU: 15 to 28

Hooter Brown

American Brown Ale
Amber And Brown American Beer
Package
A malty but hoppy beer frequently with chocolate and caramel flavors. The hop flavor and aroma complements and enhances the malt rather than clashing with it.
ABV: 4.3% to 6.2%
IBU: 20 to 30

Panhandle POG

Specialty IPA
IPA
Package
Recognizable as an IPA by balance – a hop-forward, bitter, dryish beer – with something else present to distinguish it from the standard categories. Should have good drinkability, regardless of the form. Excessive harshness and heaviness are typically faults, as are strong flavor clashes between the hops and the other specialty ingredients.
