Source Brewing, Colt's Neck NJ-- Thought Virus IPA

After last night's Home Brewed Porter Cider, and some Home made wine, and other wines from Napa, we rocked over to Source Brewing in Colt's Neck NJ for liquid lunch that included just snack foods-- you have to bring your own actual food there. 

Nevertheless, pressed for time, we had just one-- I ordered him a Spring Saison, which was light and mild, frothy and a bit clouded but delightful.  He didn't like it-- strickly a pils guy, but I did. 

I also like the Dark humorously named "Thought Virus" IPA they brewed to light up the scenery as you can see in the photos.  Although-- their rap from the website betrays no irony about using the word "Virus" in naming a beer.  On the contrary, there is some narrative about learned helplessness and the principles of brainwashing, all of which went right over and around my head. 

But it was a nice beer-- a bit thin, but smelly and bitter in a great hoppy way.  And the Wit bier looking head on both beers were inspirational.  

According to their website, Thought Virus is brewed with "flaked oats and wheat and double dry hopped with Cashmere, Azacca, and Simcoe.".  

I did not get all or any of the flavor notes they mention on the web-- fruits and pines.  I got a thin mouth feel, floral hops.  I nice Wheat IPA cross training style. 

I wanted to try the Nitro stout and he wanted a lager, but the outdoor service was slow, we were pressed for time, and he had a headache from the Beasty Boys blasting out the back in the yard. 

Source is a great spot with clean equipment (I love to see that) and friendly folks pouring the pours.  Plenty of places to bring food, including the produce heavy supermarket next door with a big deli counter.
