Beer Notes:

Czechvar (Czech + Pivovar = “Czech Brewery”)
A lagering period of not less than 90 days, a great provenance and a 700 years old brewing tradition guarantee the exceptional quality of Czechvar Premium Lager. Czechvar light lager has a thick rich head and markedly golden yellow color. The bouquet is pronounced, typically beer-like, accentuating a hoppy aroma. Its bitterness is of a weak to medium intensity, gentle to slightly coarse character with a short-lived aftertaste. The fullness is medium and malty. The lager has a medium to robust body, which makes the drinker feel like taking another sip. This lager was a favorite of Ferdinand I in the 16th Century.

Allagash White – Portland, Maine
Brewed in the tradition of Belgian wheat beer, Allagash White is unique and truly refreshing. Brewed with a generous portion of wheat and a special blend of spices, this beer is light and slightly cloudy in appearance, with a spicy aroma. Overall, it is a beer that is very drinkable and smooth any time of the year.

Franziskar Hefewezen - Munich
"Hefe" means yeast, "Weizen" means wheat. Hefeweizen is a top fermented, unfiltered, bottle conditioned wheat beer with a noticeable yeast sediment and a cloudy appearance. Wheat beers are also referred to as Weissbiers (white beers) because before the invention of pale lagers and pale ales, most beers were dark. Wheat beers were the exception as the wheat content lightened the color of the beer. Hefeweizens are usually quite sweet and fruity, with a full body. The typical hefeweizen taste, which distinguishes it from its Belgian wheat beer cousins is produced by the types of yeast used in Bavaria. Hefeweizens are very lightly hopped so have little bitterness and harshness. German wheat beer brewers don't add coriander or other botanicals and spices to their beer as Belgian brewers do.

Moose Drool Brown Ale - Montana
The name sounds a little iffy, but it's really the best-selling beer brewed in Montana. It's chocolate brown in color with a creamy texture. A malty beer with just enough hop presence to keep it from being too sweet. The aroma mostly comes from the malt with a hint of spice added by the hops. Moose Drool is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate, and whole black malts; and Kent Goldings, Liberty, and Willamette hops.

Lindeman's Kriek Lambic - Belgium
Deep red hue with attractive foam and a sweet cherry nose. Some acidity through the middle and undertones of wood help balance the sweetness of the fruit. Sweet but pleasant finish.
