 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break. So it's nice outside as I check Yeah, still nice sunny just got off work as you can tell by you know collared shirt. I don't do that in my off time I do not wear shirts like this when I'm off So I figure what better way to decompress from work than to do a brutal battle beer break for a beer Real quick and then drink the rest of this beer while I'm in the shower Because I love shower beers. It's a perfect way to relax nice hot shower and nice cold beer Perfect relaxation. If you've never done a shower beer now is the time get into it. It is awesome Relaxing amazing. So anyway, the beer we're gonna be doing today is by still water artisanal ales This one's comes out of Stratford Connecticut. He brews kind of all over the place Brian Strumke who owns it He is a Gypsy brewer as people call it or nomad brewer or whatever you want to put it So this one is called shoe gaze It is a well according to Brian Strumke on the can it is a distorted farmhouse pale ale He's into a lot of you know stuff and It is six percent alcohol by buying so I'm gonna get into this sucker. I love the 16 ounce cans by the way I'm a huge fan of that format. I think every beer should be in a 16 ounce can pretty much Yeah, 22s, I don't like 22 ounces 12. It's not enough So 16 ounce this works out. All right, let's see how this one is. I had to show you as As per the norm with anything still water, it's got a really nice package to it. Looks awesome He always it's always that way. He always has amazing packaging on his beers If nobody out there has seen the can for on fleek that thing is insane All sorts of neon on it. You should look it up All right, so I mean if you say farmhouse pale ale It looks like what you would think a farmhouse pale ale looks like it's yellowish with Slate this tinge of orange to it, but pretty yellow nice big bubbles on the top Some bubbles sticking on the bottom. Oh Yeah Wow, you smell that Farmhouse yeast, but you also get a very nice Kind of almost clementine or tangerine Citrusy note coming up after the the hit of that farmhouse you smell Smells really light and crisp and refreshing yet still citrusy hoppy nice a Little bit of bitterness on the nose. Oh my god. This smells awesome And also on that last smell I smelled a little bit of like a bubble gum character in there Which is probably coming from the east That smells really nice, it smells awesome. I really hope it tastes exactly like it smells. Well, let's find out. Oh Yep, the hop character is not as present as I thought it would be based off the nose But it's so nice you get a little bit of that citrus is a little more downplay than in the nose But you get that little hit of citrus. It's on the end of each sip. You get a nice flavorful farmhouse yeast Quality on it the bitterness pretty low Almost comes off as like a little bit of like a lemon rind And it's clean. It's crisp. It's refreshing. It's nice That is easy super easy nice and tasty That's a good sip and beer. I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of this in the shower I can tell you that much. So Brian Strumke from still water artisan oils. You did a good job, buddy Thank you very much for this beer and just know I will be lathering my naked body while drinking this beer. Is that weird? Probably, but that's okay Mmm, I mean how easy and crisp and refreshing it is just lends itself to just being like I want another sip And I don't know the sip now another sip It's great.
