 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today. I have a beer by a brewery. That's actually getting a lot of Recognition in Maryland and the surrounding areas. It's called Union Brewing and they are out of Baltimore So what I have today is one of their seasonal IPA is called steady Eddie now steady Eddie Excuse me is seven percent alcohol by volume And it has the ingredients the hops are green bullet Azaka and sriracha ace and the malts are pale wheat and honey So let's give this a try. I believe the steady steady Eddie name has something to do with Coworkin Jr. You know baseball player from the area played for the Orioles if you don't know that that's insane because Everybody knows about cow Anyway, very orangey a little bit of a yellowish tinge to it and okay amount of heads Some some nice larger sized bubbles kind of stick into the sides Let's go ahead and get a sniff on it. Oh Okay There is a nice like honey Weedy type nose Right under the hops the hops have a nice like deep citrus type nose to them Like a little bit of like a dehydrated citrus There's a little bit of a bitterness on the nose as well. So it's kind of like citrus with some of the rind It's more like a straight-up orange That type of citrus maybe a little bit of tangerine mixed in there as well Smells nice and crisp. It's almost got It is like honey and weedy on the end and it almost kind of tastes a little bit Pilsner-ish In the way that it finishes because of the kind of like honey hay type notes and it's very crisp on the end That's citrus is in there up front But there's a lot of the the malts coming through which is not a bad thing in this instance It it's pretty nice. It kind of reminds me of Like a farm with all the hay if you're on a farm and you just keep smelling the hay everywhere you go This just reminds me of that Yeah, a lot of hay type notes on the backbone and some nice like citrusy hops up front Pretty solid beer Not my favorite offering by Union. Obviously my favorite as is most people They're double duck pin Imperial IPA that is awesome So if you can get a hold of that, you definitely need to and the steady Eddie's not bad I I view this more as like a you know, they say it's a seasonal IPA on it I view it more of like a hot weather, you know, like spring summer type IPA because it's not as crazy hoppy and like floral and you know Which can be really tough when it's hot out. I've done it before and it's it's rough But anyway Union brewing cheers to you and all the great stuff you do Everybody out there. Thanks for checking this out and go have yourself an awesome beer
