 Hello, my name is Carlin and this is Brutal Battle beer break Wanted to give this a little shot. It's a big departure from doing the normal podcasting The Brutal Battle podcast which you can find you know at BrutalBattle.com or you can find on iTunes or Stitcher things like that a Lot of people have been asking about you know Where's the video component to all of this and I was like I kind of don't want to get into that But I decided you know what it could be pretty interesting. So I'm gonna do something small as far as video component goes and That's why I'm doing this Brutal Battle beer break and it'll just be whenever I'm you know about to Enjoy a beer. I can share with you guys what I'm going to be drinking You know, I'll do kind of the typical Brutal Battle stuff I don't think I'm gonna rate them on a on a 1 through 10 scale or maybe I might I don't know whatever I'm feeling at the moment but just kind of go over what the beer is and Show you the coloration of it and talk about the aromas and what I'm tasting in the beer Today seemed like a perfect day to get this thing started. It's a Monday. I just worked you can see I'm you know wearing my Clothes from work. Obviously, I don't normally dress like this. I certainly don't dress like this when I'm recording the show I am in my kitchen. So I don't know if the acoustics in here is a little weird But we'll figure that one out Anyway, I'm gonna get right to the beer at the first beer. We're gonna be doing here is a little thing We called we called daytripper pale ale and you can see right there It says daytripper pale ale it is by a brewery called indeed brewing now indeed brewing is out of Minneapolis, Minnesota Good stuff from what I've been told. I've had a little bit of it. I've had this one before but it's been a little bit for me I've also had their let it ride IPA which I enjoyed This beer was compliments of Andrew Peavey who does live in Minnesota. So anyway, I just wanted to go ahead and Technology, you know things starts going down. I don't know what's up with that bear with me on this Anyway, I'm gonna crack this sucker open Pour it in my pipe works glass I'm not gonna pour all of it in because I will be sharing some with my wife Rebecca It's important to share with your significant others Put that there so you can So you can see it a little bit Like you can see It looks nice. It looks orange very orgy. There's a nice head to it right there hazy I don't know if that's like a chill hazer Well, I mean you can kind of see through it So I think it's a chill haze that you're basically getting out of but look at that head That's a really nice head, which signifies to me that I'm gonna be able to get some good aromas off of this If you can't tell the smells amazing the smells so Citrus-y to me it's like tangerine It's like very sweet orange Little lemony too That smells so robust. It's a very very robust smelling beer and kind of just love the smell This is my wheelhouse, you know, and you know, it's kind of surprised the first time I had it because pale ale You know, you would think yeah, there could be some citrus-iness to it But as far as like extreme citrus like this is showcasing on the aroma you're thinking more IPA's so this is very like IPA like Very hoppy pale. Let me taste it. Yeah Definitely get a lot of the citrus in the flavor of it It's bringing more bitterness to it especially on the finish kind of like you're getting a bit of like an orange rind at The end there, but the the citrus-y burst that at first and then kind of trailing off to the rind is really really nice And it's a good beer. I'm really enjoying it Hmm There's a little bit of like a funk to it that you can get with really hoppy beers from time to time Some people would say it's a little dank-ish You know for you know people out there like to describe it that way it's very Kind of bit of like a floruliness to it I don't so much get that on the nose, but when I actually sip on it a little grassy little florally Hmm Overall quite a nice beer. I really enjoy it. So indeed brewing you've done a good job Let me go ahead and say it's in cans and Let's see what the percentage is on this it is 5.4 percent alcohol by volume They actually say 45 I be used on this thing It says hatch from our craving for endless adventure big and small far and near day tripper is your faithful Hoppy companion take it with you on your favorite lake trail or just the backyard and you'll be on your way Four pounds of hops per barrel give this west coast inspired pale ale a heady dank and citrus laced aroma All supported by a malt backbone complex enough to keep this beer from being a one-hop trick pony Clever so there you go. Actually, I had not read this before I started smelling and tasting it So I think I was pretty close on it. So Yeah, awesome. Hope everyone's enjoyed this first episode of brutal battle beer break There will be more to come and it will be very sporadic how I post them just kind of whatever I'm inspired But thank you so much and take it easy
