Funkwerks Nit Wit

While out to dinner at Alehouse at Amato's in Denver, I ordered a glass of Funkwerks Nit Wit. The beer pours a golden color with a bubbly white colored head. The aroma consists of lemon, wheat, pepper, grass, and hay. The taste is light and refreshing with lemon, pepper, and grass. There is a dry finish that leaves an earthy flavor on the tongue. The alcohol content is 4.7% ABV. The Nit Wit had a wonderful wit flavor and was very refreshing, perfect for the first course of a meal.

Funkwerks Saison

On the east coast, I have never seen any Funkwerks beers, and having heard such great things about their beers, I ordered a glass of the Saison at Falling Rock Tap House in Denver. The beer pours a golden color with a bubbly white head. The aroma consists of sour lemon, barnyard funk, grass, and hay. The taste is funky with barnyard characteristics, some horse blanket, lemon, hay, and grass. The alcohol content is 6.8% ABV. This was a great funky saison, that stands out in my memory as pushing the envelopes of saison funk. There were wonderful flavors with just enough lemon to provide that citrus sweetness needed with the funk.
