Build me up Butternuts

Work with me folks while my computer makes things difficult.
Tonight I'm gonna tell ya about a couple offerings from Butternuts Beer and Ale.  I had checked out there extremely cute website www.butternutsbeerandale.com and checked availability only to find that my area was not listed.  I made a mental note to put it on my road trip beer list.  Imagine my surprise when my local supplier suddenly had cans of not all but two of their beers.  Of course I bought both so here we go.
First up is the Porkslap pale ale.  I love the imagery of the pigs flying towards each other preparing to do a giant belly buck on the can front.  Popping the top I found more to love.  It is a bright crisp bitter beer with a dash of citrus flavor.  I found it clean and refreshing and overall quite enjoyable.  I'm not ready to chest bump swine over it but I could see myself cracking another on a hot summer night.
Second selection is the Snapperhead IPA.  I normally love a good IPA so I was ready to be pleased.  I found it moderately bitter and heavyhanded on the citrus flavor.  It was a strong flavor not muddied or questionable but somehow I just wasn't a big fan.  I wouldn't turn one down if offered but I won't be putting it in my pick-a-six anytime soon. 
Hopefully I will get my hands on their Thunder Moo sometime and see how their dark beer holds up. Until then. . .Cheers!
