Yard Owl Craft Brewery Reviews

Slipstream	3 Yard Owl Bier Deluxe Reserve First rating, on tap at YO. A high ABV, barrel aged saison. This runs a little harsh and hot, but it is interesting. It seems pretty hoppy, and I can't tell what kind of barrels it was aged in. Flavors of rye whiskey and a nippy, hoppy finish. Sweet aroma. I bet this would go well with one of cousin's cigars.

Slipstream	3.7 Yard Owl Citra Saison Draft at YO. Attractive dark gold pour. A sugary saison with a strong note of Citra throughout. It is interesting to taste Citra in action in something other than a NE IPA. This gets a point for creativity. A good brew. Sunday, July 28, 2019
Slipstream	2.9 Yard Owl 270 IPA Draft at YO. Pretty dank, sweet aroma. Flavor leans a bit metallic and lemony. Not bad but something seems not quite right to me. The background has some sweet bread in it. I wasn't taken by this one. Sunday, July 28, 2019
Slipstream	3.3 Yard Owl Show Pony Draft at YO. It is called a wheat saison, and it is surprisingly tart and dry for the style. The funkiness works tho -some lactic acid sourness, a little lemon cookie. Dark blonde pour and a pleasant aroma. First rating. Sunday, July 28, 2019
