Our Thoughts
Today we have "Kipona Fest" which is a German-Style Mrzen that could be compared to a Average Scottish Ale. Rated at 5.9 ABV's this beer has a little bit of kick. This is a beer for those who are tired of light lagers and want something with a little bit of a kick. You will still find a nice crisp taste but a higher IBU profile makes for a great drink.
German-Style Mrzen
Mrzens are characterized by a medium body and broad range of color. They can range from golden to reddish orange. Sweet maltiness should dominate slightly over a clean hop bitterness. Malt character should be light-toasted rather than strongly caramel though a low level of light caramel character is acceptable. Bread or biscuit-like malt character is acceptable in aroma and flavor. Hop aroma and flavor should be low but notable. Ale-like fruity esters should not be perceived. Diacetyl and chill haze should not be perceived.
What does ABV/IBU mean?
ABV
ABV stands for Alcohol By Volume and is listed as a percentage and lets you know how much of your beer is alcohol and how much is other stuff.
IBU
stands for International Bitterness Units measures the bitterness from hops in a beer on a scale of 0 to 100.
Beer Fact of the Day
Beer is one of the worlds oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9500 BC.
