Details: $10.99 for a six-pack; available at Giant Eagle, including the Market District at Grandview Yard, and Land-Grant Brewery, 424 W. Town St.; 6.4% alcohol by volume
Notes: Pours a lightly hazy, rich golden color (the beer is brewed "with local honey") and has a white foamy head.
Thoughts: Easter weekend brought mild, sunny weather, which had everyone thinking spring. With the season promising warmer temperatures, Spring Quarter notes on its can that "It's about time for your old friend, the Sun, to peek his head out from the clouds and as soon as that thermostat hits 60, it's your duty to pretend it's 95: grab the Frisbee, pack a picnic, claim your spot, and soak up some much-needed vitamin D."
