Episode Topic

Goals

Ales!

“Sunny” by Peace Tree Brewing out of Iowa

Sunny is a session ale.  It is very drinkable and has notes of banana and lemon.

What is a session ale?!

“Belgian White” by New Belgium Fat Tire

A wheat ale with hints of orange.  A little more body than the Sunny ale but still very drinkable.

“Isolation Ale” by Odell Brewing Co

This seasonal ale is medium-bodied with a malty caramelly taste.  Still light enough to enjoy several.
