It’s a wild episode this week on Beer Man Beer. #Cannonball #hitthetrail Support you local breweries @ctbrewersguild SOLID || NOT SOLID: Charter Oak Brewing Co., Danbury CT Royal Charter Pale Ale | Pale Ale -American | brewed with plenty of flavor and hops. This top fermented ale will be solidly an American Pale Ale style; not too sweet and not too bitter, but complex enough to not disappoint you. A scent of a citrus and floral aroma, a solid backbone of the Cascade Hops. Well balanced, medium bodied, and deep golden appearance. We can assure you it is not intensely hopped up, but only a subtle bitterness and dry finish | 5.5% ABV | SOLID Wadsworth IPA | West Coast style IPA | with plenty of hop aroma and bitterness, yet crisp, refreshing and not over the top! This IPA style will pleasure your pallet with more than your typical 'every day India Pale Ale' and you'll be sure to taste our grapefruit citrus overtone backed with notes of black currant. This beer will be a medium bodied beer with a dark copper shade | 6.5% ABV | SOLID Little Charter Session IPA | IPA - Session / India Session Ale | easy-drinking styled beer pours a distinctive amber shade & big citrus nose. a well-balanced ale with plenty of malt backbone and the hops become ‘alive’ on the back end and dominant. The intensity of this full-flavored hop charge does not become any more robust with each sip or pint, but rather remains stable and somewhat velvet on the palate | 4.7% ABV | SOLID Session 1687 Brown Ale (Keg's Favorite) | Brown Ale - American | slightly more robust than the traditional English Brown Ale. Dark copper shade and be somewhat sweet and malty with distinctive toasted flavors from both our premium specialty roasted and chocolate malted barley, also allowing for a faint undertone of caramel. This style is lightly hopped for balance and medium-bodied, limited bitterness and hop aroma will make this an excellent choice | 6.2% ABV | SSSSSSOLID ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sloop Brewing Co. Hopewell Junction, NY Juicier Bomb (Jonny's Favorite) | IPA - Imperial / Double New England | ridiculously hopped double IPA has a big, orange aroma w/ flavor notes of passion fruit, papaya, and even a tinge of tang. | 8% ABV | SOLID   MUSIC: COMETA @ Cometamusic.com EMAIL: beermanbeerpod@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: The Beer Man Beer Podcast || @beermanbeerpodcast_ Jonny Benson || @therealjonnybenson Jay (Keg) Kettles || @jaykets_bmb
