You might love hops, you might love haze, and you might want your beer to be loaded with hops so it’s particularly soft. But what if you don’t want too much booze? Then Bright Brewery have got ya with Gotchya!, with the big oat cream fans at the brewery crafting the 5.4 percent beer for anyone seeking smooth sessionability. Pouring like a golden copper cloud, it features a mix of Citra, Idaho 7 (both in Cryo form), and Eclipse to deliver a blast of mango, ripe rockmelon, and papaya with just enough bitterness to balance out the richer side of those tropical fruits.*
Equally fruit-forward but a wholly different affair is Gator Juice; a key lime and orange sour. Inspired by Florida’s famous fruit (which, I’ve got to be honest, I always thought the term “key lime” was actually the type of pie), the lightly tart beer brings a whole load of zest, while the citrus has a fair bit of sweetness to it and comes across like a homemade drink. Straight from the everglades no doubt.
