Beer of the Week

The beer: Neon Dynasty

The brewery: Mobtown Brewing Company, Baltimore, Maryland

Description (from Untappd): "A dry and crisp Japanese-style Rice Lager brewed with German Mandarina Bavaria Hops. Slightly grassy and very lightly sweet up front, with a tart citrus zing on the finish that leaves you wanting more."

Would I buy it again? This was an interesting beer. I do usually like the rice lagers, but this one had much more of a fruity tartness to it than I was expecting. And unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of tart beers. I think it's solidly made, but it isn't for me.

Beer of the Week

The beer: Honeysuckle Grisette

Brewed by: Mobtown Brewing Company, Baltimore, Maryland

Description (from Untappd): "A classic Belgian style beer, Grisette is an often forgotten cousin of the Saison with lower alcohol. Brewed with a ton of spelt & wheat for a soft & zingy body and fermented dry with an expressive Belgian yeast, we added just enough honeysuckle to lend a floral note that brings it all together. A refreshing, easy little beer for Summer."

Would I buy it again?: I was really curious about this one, since I'd never heard of a grisette beer before. So I went in having no idea what it would taste like. And the answer is pretty good! It's got the nice honey taste, it's refreshing, it's great for a hot summer day. I would get it again.
