The first beer up is from Wisconsin's very own Black Husky nanobrewery. Labeled as a pale ale, it's extensive Simcoe dry hopping makes this beer seem more like an IPA. At the end of the day, though, I agree with brewer Tim Eichenger when he says, "whatever -- just drink it already."

A dark amber color, the resin, grapefruit and herbal hop notes strike immediately subsiding into a biscuity sweetness. The flavor mirrors the taste in a lot of ways. The hops deliver huge grapefruit and pine flavors. Again, though, the hops transition to a malty sweetness. Recognized by Milwaukee Magazine as one of Wisconsin's best beers, no matter what style you want to classify it under, you'll just call it delicious.

From a traditional Trappist beer we head to a classic English beer from the CAN-oisseurs at Tallgrass brewing. Originally their flagship beer, this is the first time it's made its way to Milwaukee. A unique blend of of German, American and English malts, overall this beer will remind you of classic English session beers. Caramel and lightly roasted nuts will be the most apparent aromas. The taste mirrors the nose in a lot of ways.

Slightly sweet with caramel and a light roasted character, the combination of English and American hops provide more of a bitter characteristic than floral or citrus. Incredibly smooth and creamy, the Tallgrass Ale perfectly encapsulates the term "session beer." Full of flavor, but not strong enough to overwhelm your palate.

If you try this beer and like it, be sure to check all the other Tallgrass offerings when they come to the Ray's Educational Center! (click here for info)
