I am continuing my beers of Texas series with this post on The Salty lady. The Review of The Salty Lady. The Salty Lady is Martin House Brewing Company’s interpretation of a Gose – a rather obscure, tart, salty German style beer. The tartness is tempered by salt additions from around the world and finished with

Lake Breeze Blond, Seguin Brewing Company
Lake Breeze Blond from Seguin Brewing Company has gotten mixed reviews from others. I liked this light bodied beer. While it is close to a pale ale, it is not as bitter. Poured from the can, this is a cloudy beer. This is what you expect from an unfiltered beer. A creamy white head holds on

Fire Ant Funeral Amber Ale
Fire Ant Funeral is a traditional ale. I thought this is a really solid beer. The distinctive red amber color that is topped by a beige head that leaves some decent lacing. This color comes from the seven American grown hops. I tasted this ale poured from a twelve once can poured into a chilled

Southern Star Humidity
Humidity by Southern Star Brewing pours a murky gold and there might be a hint of amber in it. The beer is 100% opaque. A white foam head forms when poured. The head has almost no stick or lace. The head dissipates almost as fast as it pours. I poured Humidity from a 12 once

Midnight Cab a Unique Beer
Midnight Cab for Rahr and Sons Brewing Company is a unique Black Saison beer. It is aged in red wine barrels, a nice clever recipe that’s pretty well put together. Deep chocolate brown and some nice body out of the can, with a nose of oak tannins and roasted barley. Lots of bitter dark grain

This reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, brown

These are puréed and for each batch. This works out to about half-pound of purée per gallon of beer. A strong

Texas Shade a Wheat Beer
Texas Shade is a strange one. It pours golden and slightly cloudy as you would expect a witbier to do. The head is fizzy and short-lived. After that, the aromas of wheat and yeast flow out first followed by a blast of citrus. The taste packs a tart sour punch. Texas Shade is brewed by

5 O’Clock Pils
5 O’Clock Pils Pils is described as this “The pils malt is light yet with a pleasant bready character, emphasized by the decoction mash wherein a portion of the mash is removed, boiled and added back. Saaz hops, the only hop that has never been hybridized dating back to when it was first cultivated from a

Saint Arnold Brewing Summer Pils
Saint Arnold Brewing Summer Pils has so much more taste and “depth” to its taste compared to the other pilsners I’ve tried,. I thought it was just another one of those hipster beers, but I’m glad I tried it; it goes down smooth and is pretty tasty. Definitely worth trying out. I love most Saint Arnold beers,
