How we doing everybody, welcome back to FairgroundsTV
I'm your host Peter Moeller.
Today we have something that none of you have
probably heard of.
A long time ago, you heard me talk about a
gentleman named Mike Kochanski and his girlfriend
slash fiancee, Sara Stefans.
They've been brewing beer.
And now they have a little operation they
like to call Left Lane Brewing.
Which, somewhere on the screen I'll show you
the, um, I wanted to say icon, their logo!
It's right over here.
Anyway, they brewed this a long time ago,
sitting in my fridge, I promised him I would
do a tasting, I fell a little behind.
So we have a honey lemon ale.
Let's give it a check out.
In my trusty new Belgian glass.
Beautiful color, nice tight carbonation, if
you can see that.
I don't know if it's just because it's so
gnarly hot out here, but it's just got a slight
haze to it, but it's got some nice carbonation.
Not much head, but its homebrew, people!
Let's give it a sniff.
*sniffs*
Oh wooooow.
*sniffs*
I wish I had smelled this a long time ago,
I'd be asking for some.
I'm getting, I'm getting that slight hint
of honey, actually a nice amount of honey
but this nice citrus maybe like an orange-lemon
peel behind that.
Hence the honey-lemon maybe?
But I'm also getting the hop.
And I know Mike loves the hop, so let's see
what he did with this one.
*sips*
That's fantastic.
That honey's cutting the, cutting the hops
a little bit.
And I'm not a massive fan of hops.
But usually when it gets on the back of my
tongue it's all sticky, I can't stand it this
is kind of like sitting mid-to-front of my
tongue.
That sweetness is very subtle but the lemon
and it's almost turning into like this orangey
flavor from possibly melding with the honey.
It is awesome.
If you could buy this somewhere I'd tell you
to go get some, even if it wasn't at my store!
Everybody pray that Mike will start his brewery
and we can go visit him and his hopefully
summer seasonal or all the time will be his
Honey Lemon Ale.
And we can go drink as much as we want.
Good job Mike and Sara.
Cheers!
