34/100) Mother's

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.
Sandy, Three Blind Mice, Tow Head
These aren't your mother's beers, but they're from a brewery based in Springfield, MO. I'm not sure why they chose Mother's as their name, but I suspect it comes from their approach to beer and life: Share. And what better way to enjoy a beer, than with a friend?

Sandy) A "Hopped up Wheat," this beer has a touch of hoppy citrus bitterness that finishes with a bit of grapefruit. Before that though, there was a resounding pop when the cap came off, and even as it was consumed, the beer was noticeably effervescent. Other than that, the wheat is not very pronounced, and I'm still not a hophead. ☆☆

Three Blind Mice) See how they run. See how they run. They all ran after the farmer's wife who likely had nothing to do with this brew. Three beer styles went into making this unusual Ale. Combining aspects of a German Altbier, an English Brown, and a Irish Red, Three Blind Mice burst forth. It still drinks like a brown ale, but with borderline porter aspects. ☆☆☆☆

Tow Head) After you've towed that lawnmower, or snowblower, around outside, this beer would be a good one to pick up. Very light, but with just enough pizzazz to give it some depth.  Nothing too adventuresome, but enjoyable. ☆☆☆
