The Beer Search Party reviews We Love LA beers – Part 4

There has been such a fantastic outpouring of support for Los Angeles by breweries far and wide in the wake of the devastating wildfires of this past January.

The charity program spearheaded by Common Space Brewery has garnered quite a bit of support from California and the rest of the Fractured States of America.

Here are my thoughts on the latest beers that I have had, let’s get going….

Far Field pale ale nice sharp bite. Grapefruit. Strong. Little buttery though at the back end. 

Smog City a West Coast IPA that has a hazy mouthfeel to it.  A combo of bitter and vanilla.  Some pine on the back end too.

Lawless light orange in color. Piney bitterness followed by a hint of grape. 

Radiant Beer Co. is a just fine IPA. Medium dose of bitterness but also a touch buttery

Sean Suggests for March 2024

Staying local for March and also canvassing a wide array of styles so that your palate does not get stuck.  And yes, I do not approve of green beer and the first selection is a green hued beer, but, in my defense, it is also a sour.  So that means less of a points deduction.

Far Field Made With Luck Sour  – 4.1% – “As  luck would have it, your favorite clover-green sour ale returns to our shelves and draft lines just ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.”

Creature Comforts Spring Belgian-Style White Ale – 5.1% – “We’ve got Spring Fever. Our fresh take on the classic Belgian-Style White Ale is brewed with orange peel, coriander, and local wheat from Day Spring Farms.”

Enegren Brewing Doppel Valkyrie – 8.2% – “a double version of our beloved flagship altbier, Valkyrie and a throwback to some of our first anniversary beers.  This strong, dark ale has rich flavors of dark fruits with hints of dark chocolate and rum, balanced with just a touch of Mt. Hood and Herkules hops.

2 Far

Far Field Beer will be attaining the two year mark and they are going Back 2 Skool as sophmores.

The second anniversary party is on Saturday, August 12th.

They will have “new beer drops including a bottle release and a FIRST-EVER style brew for us, multiple food and craft vendors…” just like school,right?

Lager Day – Great American

We can’t have too many great American novels nor can we have too many great American lagers. Far Field Brewing adds one to the latter group with, The Great American Lager…

“A classic lager with an American sensibility. This is a certified crispy boi crusher that spent an immense amount of time lagering in the tank to achieve subtle but beautiful notes of light grain and cracker with some wonderful floral spice on the back of the palate.”

Simple Ekuanot

Far Field has released their first single-hop IPA in their new series named, Simple Creature.

“For each release, we’ll focus on a single hop, squeezing out every ounce of aroma and flavor as we can to showcase the unique characteristics of the species.”

“For this first release, the star of the show is Ekuanot, a hop brimming with unique fruity and citrus notes like berry and lime, and rounded out with a zesty, pepper finish.”

One for Far Field

Far Field Beer Co. is turning 1 and is going to have a weekend of celebration to mark the occasion.
