A few days have passed since one of my favorite L.A. craft beer events, the Session Fest at Eagle Rock Brewery, so time for some photos and some notes on what I tasted which is a lot harder than it seems because you can’t just start with the lowest ABV and work your way up. Plus there were so many different beers that you couldn’t just focus on hoppy or fruity.
Leeroy Light – an ode to to light beer that poured a bright yellow. Silky and smooth.
Sparkle Brew – Yup, this would be the red beer. One of the ingredients being magic. Had some berry notes to it also some butter on the back end.
Silly Rabbit – I did not get a Trix aroma off this and not much citrus either but if I saw it again, I would order it. A simple nice low hopped beer.
The Future is Unclear – This was like their recent Juice Pop IPA, just lighter. Category creator? Session NE?
Half Wit – Big on grapefruit. Pretty pink muddy color to what was called a breakfast beer. Will more Radlers hit this summer for Angeleno’s?
Anything You Can Do – This is better on nitro but tasting on cask shows how really good this beer is. I hope this gets canned
Monteverde Lemonade – The most unique beer of the Fest. Sprig of mint included is a cool touch. Like a light Limoncello.
I missed Umlaut with lager yeast. The Lupulin Denial Gruit and the Beechwood smoked beer. I was glad to to see that cask ale was offered and was quite happy to see so many beers under 4%. Such a great fest. Make plans to attend next year.
