I seriously love beer trades.. It's a crazily expensive habit to get into. But still cheaper and healthier than crack. Well.. maybe not cheaper. Shit.
Here's a fruit of one of those exchanges..
Deep Ellum Brewing Co - Farmhouse Wit
a 4.8% ABV and 25 IBU blend of a Farmhouse Ale and a Belgian Wit. The really cool connection with this is that there's an area of Dallas known for great food, drink, and culture.. Deep Ellum is also a fantastic local bar with great beer and a southern food flair. So let's drink something by Deep Ellum brewing and see if it has the spirit of both places in the beer. The color of this beer is incredible.. bright golden yellow like sunshine in a glass with a pure white head. Not as clear as many Farmhouses or Wits are, but with that hue, I'm certainly not complaining. There's signs of both styles in the nose.. some citrus and spice from the Wit and grassy hops with bubblegum yeast notes from the Farmhouse. This is a bit fuller than you would expect, but is more than refreshing. Tons of lemon and citrus, some coriander and/or various spices. There's light sweet honey malts and a little bit of grassy hops on the finish with just the right about of yeasty funk. A bit overly carb'd, but it really works for this beer. Tons of flavor and very very refreshing.
