86	Real Ale Brewing Company Brewers' Cut Session IPA Session IPA \| 4.5% ABV \| 45 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
All the hops you want, in a package you can repeat. Session IPA as a style has a shorter history than most. As a counterpoint to the traditional American IPA, this style came about to allow the hop enthusiasts of the world a vehicle for obtaining the bitterness, flavor and aroma they so desired, without all the booze. For our Session IPA we selected a new (to us) base malt, English Golden Promise, to add unique malt character, without the sweetness of caramel malts that are often used in IPA. The star of the hop lineup is the new variety Eureka!, which brings bright notes of peach and tropical citrus to balance the clean bitterness.

86	Deep Ellum Easy Peasy IPA IPA \| 5.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

88	Ranger Cree Strawberry Milk Stout Stout \| 5.3% ABV \| 23 IBU Offered By: STEPH

Club/Brewer Notes:
Ranger Creek Strawberry Milk Stout April, 2015 Our Strawberry Milk Stout is a stout for spring time. We used hundreds of pounds of Poteet, Texas strawberries that we picked up from Oak Hill Farms. After being sliced by hand, the Poteet strawberries were added at two separate times during the brewing process to make sure the taste and aroma really came through. The resulting brew highlights the fresh strawberries in a way that we feel the farmers that grew them can be proud of. The strawberries combine with the rich, sweet, creamy chocolate flavors of a milk stout to create a completely unique brew.

82	No Label Brewing Co Forbidden Lavender Belgian-Style Witbier \| 5.5% ABV \| 62 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
A spin on a Belgian style witbier. Instead of corriander we add lavender flowers. The use of honey malt and vanilla add a nice sweetness and complement the lavender.Yep, it’s a flower beer.

90	Hop Guru Big Brown Eyes Barlywine \| 12% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: KJ

10th Anniversary home brew named after the sweetest beer club member...my brown eyed girl...Brandy
