Beer of the Weekend #1,162: Hella Yeah!
The beer of the weekend last weekend was Hella Yeah! brewed by the Marto Brewing Company of Sioux City, Iowa. Serving type: 16-ounce can. “3/26/26” was printed on the bottom. Appearance: Poured into a flute. (I should get a champagne glass.) The color was straw. An off-white, bubbly, fluffy head popped away slowly. Smell: Floral and malty. Light grass and zest. A touch of strawberry. Taste: Dry, floral, malty. Earthy spice lingered on the taste buds. There were pops of zest and some grass. It was nice and easy drinking stuff, a decent hellas. Fun facts about Hella Yeah! • Style: Hellas. • Price: $13.99 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. • Alcohol content: 4.9 percent ABV. • The name makes me think of the Dead Prez song “Hell Yeah (Pimp the System).” The Quiet Man’s grade: B+.
