    Kicked

Why light to dark?

Strong, roasty or very hoppy beers coat your tongue, and the lighter ones taste like water after them. Start crisp, end dark, and drink some water between tasters.

ABV
Alcohol by volume. Most of ours sit between 4.5 and 7.5 percent; anything over 9 comes in a 10 oz glass.
Kicked
The keg is empty. We turn the handle upside down until the next batch is on.
Hazy
Cloudy on purpose, from wheat, oats or lots of late hops. Not a sign it’s old.
