 For this episode of brutal battle beer break I will be trying a beer that I've never done on the brutal battle beer break before and I actually just had my first of its Variety on the podcast not long ago The style is a grotzer or grotzer. I don't know. I say grotzer Which is like a German smoked wheat style beer So I Remember the first one I had I was very confused by I wasn't huge on it It was the new Belgium lips of faith one that they did with Three Floyd's so just wasn't a fan, but let's give it another shot This one is done by Westbrook brewing Westbrook brewing as you can see I mean they don't you know, there's not a lot of flash to their to their labels, but you can take a look at that They're out of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This beer is 3.4% alcohol by volume so very very low as far as the alcohol goes and that had a lot to it I have a feeling here it comes Not good not good out of the gate Okay So that that was kind of a gusher. I was able to you know Make sure it wasn't a total mess, but obviously as you can see Lot of head to that thing. It is like that. It's so cloudy You know That's so cloudy kind of looks like grapefruit juice a little bit not like pink or red grapefruit, but you know Good god I have a feeling there's gonna be an issue with this. It's gonna be extremely carbonated based on what just happened I hope that's not the case smell Super super weedy. I get that kind of lemon peel smell to it some coriander There's a bit of The smoke I definitely get the smoke in there But it's also imparting like a little bit of like a salinity to go with it as well Man, that's the smoke is making it also smell a little like shoe leather ish, which is interesting It's not really smelling totally appetizing It's it's also bubbling up in here in case you can't see still trying to get out of that bottle. We'll see So when I taste it I mainly get that wheat flavor with some smoke and a bit of that kind of salinity to go with it There's a little bit of a tart aspect coming out on the end which Might be why It's acting acting this way out of the bottle. It could be a little um a little bit of an infection, but Kind of gonna be honest. I don't think it's too bad I think that little kind of twinge of tartness on the end is kind of nice It's a little bit of a funk to it as well and it goes well with that kind of smoky aspect. So Happy accident. I don't know very Very carbonated very effervescent on your tongue But um nice easy beer to sip the smoke isn't too overpowering, which is pretty nice I kind of like it. It's pretty good I'm gonna share this with the wife and see what she thinks she liked the other grotzer before that I didn't like but hey, this this is quite interesting and Westbrook. You did a good job Let's see what they said about it It's it's their interpretation of a grotzer they say which is a traditional German style smoked wheat beer brewed with lots Of hops and 90% oak smoked wheat malt the result is a spritzy smoky and refreshing now It is all of those things. So very cool.
