Touchdown Brewery Tours

This is the Touchdown Brewery Tour Blog. As I visit breweries, I will post comments and photos detailing my experience. I lean towards Hoppy beers, but love all beer (American Premium Lagers are not beer) and will try to give actual comments rather then just a numeric scale. An ideal brewery is one where I feel comforatble in a jersey and jeans, from this sweet spot all establishments will be reviewed. I hope you enjoy - Jeff

10 beers

Maple Nut-Brown
Malty, sweet but not syrupy. No hops to speak of. Big maple in nose and in initial taste. Great mouthfeel.

Imperial Nut-Brown
Much larger malt and alcohol flavor and aroma. Maple faint to almost ghostly. Malt takes over throughout.

Tundraberry
Berry beer, mixture of berries. Sweet-tart flavors, very thin, malt does not stand up to fruit.

Glacier
Zero aroma, but beer finishes clean with some hops. Training wheel beer, but good malty mouthfeel and hops were actually added to beer. Very slight diacetel.

Stout
Nitro big chocolate nose, finishes with almost a peat smokiness. Would not call it roasty, but the peat has an unexpected pleasant finish to tie the beer together. a little thin, but a great brew.

Jackwacker Wheat
Wants to grow up to be a German wheat

Butt-Head Hock
A thick Shiner. Malty like a bock should be. excellent brew. Smooth and easy to put a couple down after work.

Pick Axe Pale Ale
Ok, they do have hops here. Nice pale ale, malty but bite-ey. Great for hop heads in training.

Ornery amber
Pegged at a typical American amber, good malt, good hops. Not intimidating but excellent.

Coco Porter
Do not get as much chocolate as i expect from a coco porter. Awesome but understated complexity. Covers the tongue in pleasure. Best beer here.
