Beer Review 420: Festbier, Columbus Brewing Co., Columbus, Ohio. Purchased: Kibbee's Carry Out, Bluffton, Ohio. Brewery: https://columbusbrewing.com/ I picked up a single can of CBCs Festbier as part of a mixed sixer. This one comes in at 5.3% ABV with 22 IBUs.This poured a clear, caramel color with ample carbonation and a nice frothy two-finger white head. The nose was subtle with light bready malt and faint aroma of hops. This was medium/light bodied and quite crushable. Roasted malt and caramel lead the way and this has a nice light hop finish. Overall a really nice brew that I would gladly try again! #ABeerADayWithTK #BeerReview #ColumbusBrewing Intro Music courtesy of: B-Roll (ska) - Islandesque by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100315 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WA83nUgTCc

Beer Review 598: Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force IPA, New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, Colorado. Acquired: Kroger, Findlay, Ohio. Brewery: https://www.newbelgium.com/ Untappd: ABeerADayWithTK Instagram: ABeerADayWithTK 00:00 Discussion 01:46 The Pour 02:50 The Nose 03:28 Drink Your Beer! 05:10 Rating I picked up a six pack of this Voodoo Ranger release at the request of my good friend Steve Patzer. This Fruit Punch IPA is brewed with 7 different hops and comes in at 9.5% ABV with 20 IBUs. This poured a murky golden straw color, with tons of visible carbonation and a tons of sediment. The head on this was magnificent with two fingers plus of smooth, creamy, white head. The nose was not surprisingly fruit punch. No discernable fruits, more like generic fruit punch, and not much else. The body on this was quite nice, medium/full and smooth. The taste pretty much followed the nose. You got a tiny bit of malt, but mostly generic fruit punch flavor with a bit of a bitter/hoppy finish. If New Belgium set out to make beer taste like fruit punch, they succeeded. #voodooranger #newbelgium #FruitForceIPA ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UPn_68LUx0

Beer Review 649: Ale Ziggy Zoomba, Juniper Brewing, Bowling Green, Ohio. Acquired: BG Beverage Center, Bowling Green, Ohio. Brewery: https://www.juniperbrew.com/ Untappd: ABeerADayWithTK Instagram: ABeerADayWithTK Check out the Ginger Yeti's channel: / @gingeryetiroadbeers 00:00 Discussion 05:01 The Pour 08:08 The Nose 09:34 Drink Your Beer! 12:56 Rating I picked up a six pack of this light ale brewed in collaboration with Bowling Green State University while in BG. This tailgate brew comes in at 4.9% ABV with 13 IBUs. This poured a light straw color with a beautiful, pillowy, white head. This was fairly cloudy, but you could see some fine, champagne like bubbles. The nose was floral and surprisingly appealing for a light beer. The body was also a little fuller than expected, and we agreed it had a nice medium body. Taste wise this was almost like a toned down Sierra Nevada pale ale. You got light malt, some floral hops, and a nice finish. This was sessionable, but flavorful and we both loved it. #BGSU #BowlingGreen #AleZiggyZoomba ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZubzUULg7Cc

Beer Review 617: Peja Pilsner, Birra Peja, Peja, Kosovo. Acquired: Gas Station in Peja, Kosovo. Brewery: https://www.birrapeja.com/en/ Untappd: ABeerADayWithTK Instagram: ABeerADayWithTK 00:00 Discussion 01:33 The Pour 02:26 The Nose 02:53 Drink Your Beer! 04:20 Rating Today is my birthday and the 3rd Anniversary of the channel. As I am in Peja, Kosovo teaching a summer class at Haxhi Zeka University, it is only fitting that I review a beer made in this city, Peja Pilsner. This is a beer I have had before over the years while in Kosovo, but I have never reviewed it, so it is new to the channel. This pilsner comes in at 4.2% ABV and poured a light golden color with a nice white frothy head and moderate carbonation. The nose on this was nondescript, with light bready malt and a hint of grassiness. This was medium bodied, with some bready sweetness hitting you initially, which eventually gives wayward to a rye-like bitterness. I think the sweetness balanced well against the bitterness and that this was a solid beer, especially on a warm summer day. All things considered, I give this. a thumbs up and will certainly have another (probably in 15 minutes or so...) #Peja #pilsner #kosovo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5m6YIPqUp8
