Dacrza	3.6 Climbing Bines Honey Apricot DATE: July 9, 2022... OCCASION: celebrating the return from Big Bass Lake--and the arrival of Will's LotR Munchkin creation--with the TRotK and a "mighty gift" Shan brought me from Watkins Glen--gluten-free goodness!... GLASSWARE: Chilton Mill willibecker... pours a murky, yellow-orange body that offers intermittent bubbles to a quickly-dissipating soapy white head... peach, apricot, and apple, front and center... honey and orange peel are secondary elements... no hint of a backbone--maybe some sweet sorghum... overall, a fruity invitation... its start is lively at the teeth, almost puckering in its tartness, but dry from there on, with a pleasant, easy finish... a great match for a meaningful summer night, as it refreshes while keeping some texture... apricot and apple, orange and honey, mint and lemon grass make for a refreshing, light fruit basket... as a GF offering, this works through its lack of malts by playing to its strengths and letting the sorghum complement the tart fruits... Shan went away for a ladies' weekend and wound up at a brewery catering to a GF crowd--lucky me! This is a win... Sunday, July 10, 2022

jb	2.5 Climbing Bines Hefeweizen 2 Not sure which of their hefeweizen's I had, it was just called hefeweizen. Nevertheless it was quite unimpressive, not true to style, not much yeasty character. More of an American wheat which I don't much care for. Saturday, August 18, 2018
