West Sixth’s Amber Ale presents a rich amber color in our glass, topped by a sizeable head of khaki foam. An engaging malt profile comes forth in the aroma right away, offering plenty of caramel and toasty, bready, biscuity character. The hops make their presence known as well, giving us a nice dash of lightly citric fruitiness atop the malty notes. Look for the story to continue much the same way in the flavor, too, as the malty core of this...

Third Stone presents us with a dark brown hue in the glass, topped by a prominent head of tan foam. This brew comes across fairly malty on the nose with touches of toasted nuts and bread crust, deep down caramel, and just a hint of dark fruit ester which melds with hoppy touches of tree fruits and wisps of mint. The story remains malt-focused on the palate too, as we get a nice balance among toasty impressions, caramelization, and nuttiness...

- Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Cascade
- Malts: 2-Row Pale, Special Roast, Wheat, C-80, Chocolate
- Country: United States
This brown ale is named after the neighborhood in which West Sixth’s first brewery was founded, and it’s the very first West Sixth beer that was ever brewed. It’s typically a limited production taproom exclusive, so we’re excited to be able to bring this classic to our members this month. On the pour we get a medium to dark brown color with good clarity and a robust head of khaki foam. We were drawn in by the aroma, which is nicely bright with...

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 21
- Serving Temperature: 38-43º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Triple Pearl, Cascade
- Malts: 2-Row Pale, Pilsner
- Country: United States
Empyrean’s golden ale unsurprisingly pours a bright golden color, capped with a head of nearly white foam that persists well. In the aroma, look for a pleasant and really engaging profile boasting an array of subtle tones including orange & lime zest, hints of jasmine-esque floral essence, and an intriguing spicy note of sandalwood. Light touches of Nebraska-sourced honey meld with pale malts in the undercurrent. On the palate, this brew is...

- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Citra, Mosaic
- Malts: 2-Row Pale, Vienna, C-60
- Country: United States
Pouring a bright, clear copper color with plenty of off-white foam, Pennyrile Pale Ale looks great in the glass as its inviting aroma wafts outward. This 2018 World Beer Cup bronze medalist is quite fruity, with luscious hoppy notes evoking tropical fruits like mango and guava, along with touches of citrus, light pine, and floral overtones. On the palate, this brew is deliciously juicy as those hops take center stage. Look for the malts to add...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA with Mango
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Citra, Amarillo, Mosaic
- Malts: 2-Row Pale, Wheat, Aromatic, Cara-Red
- Country: United States
Brewed with mango, this intriguing IPA presents an attractive reddish-orange color with very light haze and a cap of off-white foam that sticks in sheets to the glass. Wow, the mango aroma is very apparent from the moment the pour hits the glass, offering a super fruity tropical vibe right away, backed by secondary notes of peach-like stone fruits and vibrant citrus. This boldly fruity character translates to the flavor in a big way too, as a...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 51
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Nugget, Comet, Cashmere
- Malts: Pale 2-Row, Dark Crystal, Aromatic
- Country: United States
Watch Man IPA pours quite hazy and quite deeply colored with a goldish to amber hue topped by a persistent and lasting head of khaki foam that drops some lace as we drink this down. On the nose, look for a nicely floral, herbal, and fruity hop character offering plenty of citrus tones evoking mandarin and lemon-lime, stone fruit leaning toward apricot and peach, sliced melon, and very light currant-like hints. As we take a sip, we’re greeted by...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Weizenbock
- ABV: 7.7%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 17
- Serving Temperature: 45-52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Goblet, Chalice, Tulip, Flute
- Hops: Perle, Magnum
- Malts: Light Barley Malt, Wheat Malt
- Country: Germany
Vitus is a prime example of Weihenstephan’s quality, as this benchmark weizenbock has taken home numerous awards including Gold at the 2018 World Beer Awards, and 2018 European Beer Star. As a style, weizenbock can be thought of as a sort of a mash-up of weissbier and doppelbock. Most tend to be on the darker side, like a big dunkelweizen, but Vitus is brewed in a lighter-colored “helles” style. Expect a very hazy golden hue on the pour...
- Bottle Size: 440-ml
- Style: Scottish Ale
- ABV: 5.2%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Thistle Glass or Pint Glass
- Hops: Challenger, Golding
- Malts: Pale, Crystal, Black
- Country: Scotland
Belhaven’s Scottish Ale pours a crystal clear, deep amber-brown color, with the nitrogenation creating a dense, creamy head that slowly reduces to a permanent collar and leaves good lacing. Strong toasty, nutty aromas are apparent immediately, merging into an impression of coffee grounds. Hops are very mild, but provide an earthy and lightly herbal impression. On the palate, we loved this brew’s silky smooth and creamy flavor and mouthfeel...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Oude Geuze
- ABV: 6.3%
- Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Teku Glass
- Country: Belgium
Upon pouring, a pillowy white head forms that recedes but sticks around, almost like a pilsner head. The beer shows a golden straw color, with a haziness you expect from a lambic. The brett yeast is very evident in the smell, a funky barnyard scent that marks a well made naturally fermented lambic, but there’s also a sweet note to the scent, reminiscent of a freshly sliced nectarine. The first sip of the Brett-Elle Oude Geuze presents a vivid...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Imperial Pastry Stout
- ABV: 11.11%
- Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Globe Snifter, or Teku Glass
- Country: Netherlands
Jopen's Meesterstuk (“Masterpiece”) 2025 is an Imperial Pastry Stout crafted to commemorate the brewery's 30th anniversary. The 11.11% ABV is a nod to St. Martin, the patron saint of the Haarlem Brewers Guild, whose feast day is November 11th – which is also the day Jopen celebrates their anniversary. Meesterstuk is brewed every year, with the recipe changing somewhat each time. Previous versions have included such special ingredients as...
