Earlier this month, I popped open a can of Orange Honey Wheat goodness from Mike Hess and now it is time to try Grazias, which is a word smash-up between a city in Austria and thanks. Or it is just a cream ale that replaced a C with a Z. Before I get into too much trouble, let’s go to the videotape….

Video Review – Snapshot Wheat from New Belgium
Since I was bringing Belgian beers “Up from the Cellar” I thought it fitting to do video reviews of two new New Belgium beers in tandem. Spring Blonde was in the headlights first and now we move on to the beer that got a really big marketing push, Snapshot Wheat. It does have a cool, retro label….
But what do I think of it? Watch on to find out….
Video Review – Spring Blonde from New Belgium
Since I was bringing Belgian beers “Up from the Cellar” I thought it fitting to do video reviews of two new New Belgium beers in tandem. And first up is Spring Blonde, which the brewery describes as “Brewed with pale and Munich malts, this golden ale pours bright copper and holds a strong, white head aloft. A nose of lemon peel, pepper, and fresh baked bread entice a sipping. Spring Blonde drinks malty, sweet and wonderful. And the easy Nugget hopping pedals towards a dry, lightly bitter finish.”

Video Review – Humidor Series IPA from Cigar City
For the video reviews this month, I am doing something a bit different. Reviewing a base beer and then a variant of that style of beer. We started earlier this month with the famed Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City and now my review of the Humidor Series version IPA from the Tampa based brewery.

Video Review – Black House coffee stout from Modern Times
Modern Times gets the beer review spotlight for January 2014 and we sample their Black House coffee stout…..
Here is the brewery description of the beer, “Black House is an oatmeal coffee stout bursting with coffee aroma and flavor. Modern Times is one of the only breweries in the world to roast our own coffee, which allows us to be exceptionally picky about which coffees we use and how we roast them. The result is an abundantly flavorful beer that’s incredibly complex and aromatic, with loads of roast character and a chocolate-covered espresso bean finish.”
