Your host will be Renzo of Harrys.
We've been keeping Renzo pretty busy lately with the Friday evening tastings. He tells me that he isn't finding many reps available to do these tastings but judging by that smile on his face I believe that he just like to do them himself sometimes. He seems to get a kick out of interacting with you folks and I know he likes to talk about beer quite a bit. Today he has a couple of interesting things to taste and he's been know to add an item to the tasting through the coure of the evening if a customer is talking with him about a given subject. Get yourself over here and taste through his line-up and you can let him know your opinion.
Captain Lawrence Xtra Gold $10.99/750ml
This beer is an American adaptation to the classic Belgian style of beer known as a Tripel. Historically Tripels were brewed to have a very light golden color, a moderate hop presence, and be around 9% alcohol. But we are not in Belgium, so I decided to crank up the hops, dry hop the beer with American Amarillo hops, and brew it to 10% ABV. This is our American Tripel, enjoy. Sensory Profile: Enjoy in a goblet or wine glass. Tropical fruit and honey are the two biggest aromas coming from this lively brew. While the hop bitterness is not as powerful as an IPA, the hop flavor melds nicely with the fruity flavors created by the imported Belgian yeast strain used.
Captain Lawrence Imperial IPA $4.49/16oz
One of the first beers I brewed after moving out to California to begin my brewing education was a Pale Ale. This version is a true testament to the influences the Wild West had on my early brewing. My Pale Ale is loaded with US-grown Cascade, Crystal, and Columbus hops, so be sure to take a good sniff to enjoy their robust aromas before taking your first sip. Sensory Profile: An aromatic beer with notes of citrus, pine, a noticeable bitterness, and a touch of malty backbone to help balance it out.
