Craft beer is handmade rather than mass produced with machines. Breweries make small amounts in batches, that way, they can make as many varieties and flavors as they want. If there’s one that seems to sell out more often, they can always make more small batches of it, to make it regularly available.
Golden Road Brewing – Melon Cart
If you’re looking for a GREAT light bodied beer that is crisp, refreshing, flavorful and low ABV, you’d be hard-pressed to find one as good as Melon Cart from Golden Road Brewing in Anaheim, CA.
I’m a sucker for melon flavor. Like cucumber water (and I hate eating cucumbers), it’s crisp and refreshing and you feel your body loves you for giving it to it. Watermelon, Honeydew, Cantaloupe – all have that lightly sweet flavor that tastes natural and organic. Add those flavors to a wheat beer and you have a major WINNER!
Pours light gold with a nice two-finger white head that retains well. The nose is melon. Fresh and clean, hinting more on the honeydew side. Now the taste – WOW! It’s so clean and refreshing. More of the watermelon comes out over anything else, but the mix of melon is there, faintly. Like a good wheat beer, it’s light and malty with only the slightest hop bitter. Crisp and bubbly mouthfeel and was ice cold. After I poured it, it was gone within a few minutes. I need a case of this stuff!
Have you heard of Beer Drop?
I just signed up and got my first drop. It’s Colorado based and is a monthly subscription where you get 2 cans of 5 different craft beers from Colorado breweries. There are different subscriptions based upon your budget and you can skip months if you want to. I’ve not seen any of the beers in my drop, here in Iowa anywhere, that I know of….
Looking forward to enjoying new beers from out of state, more often, now!
