Suggested Glassware: 40-45º F

Country: United States

Bent River’s easy-drinking Mississippi Blonde offers up a lightly hazy golden color, topped with a head of pure white foam. Soft pale malt aromas come forth, bolstered by a touch of wheat and a citric hop note with a little earthiness. We found the flavor followed the aroma pretty closely, with the pale malts offering a bit of sweetness with a crackery wheat note, all balanced nicely by a light dose of citric Centennial hops and robust...

Flying Fish Brewing Company - Hopfish

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.2%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 17
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Mug
Hops: Nugget, Cashmere
Malts: Pilsner, Crystal, Munich
Country: United States

Pouring a radiant copper-amber hue with a plentiful head of off-white foam, Hopfish offers up a multifaceted aroma as we take a sniff. Look for bright citrus notes conjuring grapefruit and hints of lemon-lime, soft floral tones, touches of melon, some herbal tones, and a bit of a tropical vibe. The hoppy aromas come forth boldly on the palate, too, joined by a welcome malt profile delivering mild toast and caramel. There’s a pungent, resinous...

Bent River Brewing Company - Uncommon Stout

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: Oatmeal Coffee Stout
ABV: 6.4%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 31
Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
Hops: Perle, Centennial
Malts: 2-Row, Chocolate, Midnight Wheat, Roasted Barley, Flaked Oats
Country: United States

Bent River brews this oatmeal stout with coffee, dramatically augmenting the coffee-like overtones often present in beers like stouts and porters which are built with a large amount of roasted grains. Sometimes brewers can miss the mark and go a little too crazy with the coffee, but Bent River really hit the mark here well. Uncommon Stout pours a very dark brown with a very sizeable head that retains well. Unsurprisingly, big coffee notes...

Flying Fish Brewing Company - Salt and Sea

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: Fruited Gose
ABV: 4.3%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 10
Serving Temperature: 40-45º F
Suggested Glassware: Flute, Stange, Pilsner Glass
Hops: Columbus
Malts: Pilsner, Wheat, Acidulated
Country: United States

Flying Fish brews this sessionable gose (a German style known for its tartness, light salinity and, often, fruit additions) with strawberry and lime, aiming for a profile akin to saltwater taffy, and we think they’ve hit their mark with this intriguing brew. Salt and Sea presents a lightly hazed golden hue in the glass, topped by a sizeable head of white foam. The tart impression is obvious in the aroma straight away, joined by obvious...

Bent River Brewing Company - Undercurrent IPA

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American IPA
ABV: 6.8%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 66
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Warrior, Cascade, CTZ, Centennial, Citra
Malts: 2-Row, Caramunich, Caramel 40, White Wheat, Victory
Country: United States

Presenting a clear coppery-amber color and capped with a well-retained head of off-white foam, Undercurrent looks inviting in the glass as it offers up its hoppy aromas. Bent River employs an array of five different hop varieties in this brew, and the results are compelling. Look for plenty of bold citrus character along with resinous herbal notes, floral overtones, and touches of mild spice. Flavorwise, the story is similar, with a bright...

Hops: Mosaic, Citra
Malts: 2-Row, Flaked Oats, Malted Oats, Flaked Wheat, Malted Wheat
Country: United States

After rousing the yeast from the bottom of our bottles, QC Haze presents a super hazy bright golden orange hue topped by a persistent cap of off-white foam that slowly recedes to a lasting collar. Juicy impressions abound in the aroma; look for notes of orange and grapefruit along with some melon-like notes, floral tones, and some resinous spice. In the flavor department, those juicy hops expand wide across the palate, bringing firm hop...

Country: United States

Pouring a golden orange color with significant haze, Hazy Bones draws us in as it sits beneath a bright cap of foam that recedes to a persistent collar. On the nose, we’re provided with plenty of the expressive fruit character hazy IPAs are known for. Look for juicy fruit cocktail impressions featuring tropical fruits with plenty of mango tones, soft citruses, tropical flora, and citrus blossoms. These aroma notes present nicely on the...

Brouwerij Van Steenberge - Monk’s Cafe

Bottle Size: 330-ml
Style: Oude Bruin
ABV: 5.5%
Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter
Country: Belgium

Originally called Bios Vlaams Bourgogne, this brew was renamed in honor of Monk’s Café, a famous Belgian beer bar and restaurant in Philadelphia which is easily one of the best places in America to kick back and enjoy a Belgian ale, or two. The beer is an Oud Bruin (“old brown”), a traditional style of sour ale that’s similar in many ways to the related Flemish Red Ale popularized by Rodenbach.

Bottle Size: 330-ml
Style: German-style Pilsner
ABV: 5.2%
Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute
Country: Belgium

While Brouwerij De Brabandere may be known worldwide as an excellent brewer of Belgian ale styles, like those in their Petrus line, they also happen to be very skilled at brewing pilsner, with their Super Pils having won numerous taste tests and even laboratory analyses of several dozen pilsners sold in Belgium. Recent awards include a Gold Medal at the 2021 World Beer Challenge, and back to back wins as the best Belgian-brewed pilsner at the...

Brouwerij Fort Lapin - Bruges La Morte Tripel

Bottle Size: 750-ml
Style: Belgian Tripel
ABV: 8%
Serving Temperature: 42–49° F
Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Goblet, or Tulip Glass
Country: Belgium

The 8% ABV and refermentation in the bottle suggests that this one should continue to age gracefully with some cellaring. Those early impacts of herbaceous, mineral-laden hops will fade a bit with time, and we’re kind of inclined to enjoy this one on the fresh side overall, but it should have a decent bit of longevity. For food pairings: that combo of effervescent bubbles and peppery yeast, along with rich, fruity malt complexity gives this...
