With hot temperatures and long days in the country-side, we wanted to brew a Hazy IPA that was full of aroma and flavor without tongue-curling bitterness on the finish. We utilize Cryo Hops®, a cryogenic hop-processing technology that separates lupulin from the hop cone, which allows us to provide an intense tropical hop aroma and dial-in a hoppy smooth flavor with low bitterness and dry finish.
A local U-Pick farmer down the road from the brewery dropped by with a bucket of crystallized honey and asked us if we could do anything useful with it. Brewmaster, Grant Wood inspected the honey and the beautiful color reminded him of blood oranges which were in season at the time, and the amazing aroma brought him back to a previous desert recipe he made – blood orange sorbet with graham cracker and spice. This was the foundation of his inspiration for the blood honey beer. An unfiltered deep golden ale made with malted two-row barley and wheat. This American beer is finished with blood orange zest, Texas honey and other spices that bring special flavors to this unique craft beer. This blood and honey beer is ready for all seasons. Drinkable for summer picnics, full flavored for fall tailgating, subtly spicy for holiday treats, and refreshing for warm springtime events.
An extremely pale ale with a clean, crisp finish. An addition of honey to the boil gives complexity to the beer's subtle fruit character without adding sweetness. This beer is light and fruity with a dry finish and a hint of honey with 4.5% ABV.
