LEWISVILLE – One of a series of local launch sites for the San Francisco brewery, newly arrived in Texas. Four of the more popular beers on tap here.
Loved it: Brew Free! Or Die IPA, brewed with blood orange. Great fruit presence in flavor and nose, faint sweetness but dry in balance. Crisp, bright light copper color. Blood orange is nice counter to traditional juicy hops, pale malt flavors.
Meh: Hell or High Watermelon. Clean krystalweizen with hints of watermelon. Like the concept, like the flavor pairing but a little too weak, too watery in execution.
