The Veil Lock Lock, Bend, and No More Flowers

Lock Lock is the Veils take on a West Coast IPA. It is wonderful. A deep bitter bite mellowed with some citrus from double dry hopping. 55 IBU

Brewer's notes: 6.5% ABV, 55 IBU. Lock Lock is a DDH West Coast-inspired IPA hopped with Citra, Centennial and Simcoe. Clean, crispy and relatively dry with flavors orange fruit cups and Juicy Juice.

Rating = 6 glasses

Bend is the Veil's take on an American Pale Ale. Some sweet, some bitter, and some dry hopping. 40 IBU.

Brewer's notes: 5% ABV. Bend returns! Our American Pale Ale hopped with CTZ, Amarillo, Citra, and Cascade hops. Brewed with a clean American yeast strain, a light touch of caramel malt, and flaked oats. Very fruit-forward with resin oil and hoppy orange-blossom flavors.

Rating = 3.5 glasses

No More Flowers is the Veil's take on Kolsch. It is the best example of the style I have had. I think it too is dry hopped. The dry hopping adds some citrus and complexity to what is a sweet malt-forward beer.

Brewer's notes: 5.2% ABV. No More Flowers is our Kolsh-inspired beer. Clean and crispy from weeks of lagering with a distinct soft and delicate ester profile balanced by a light German Tettnang hop addition. Quaffable notes of spring flowers and lemon poppy seed loaf.

Rating = 5 glasses
