New Beer Sunday (week 373)

New American IPA Sunday (week 373)


Happy Easter to all BA's. Beautiful day up on the ridge here in Mid Hud Val NY. Saved this one for myself, but shared the other two delicious beers from Alpine sent generously my way by exraided. A delicious Ipa. Guaranteed to please lovers of hoppy pale masterpieces.

New American Imperial Stout

Pretty nice day here in Northern Utah, sunny, should hit the low 70s today. I really enjoy the brews from Clown Shoes, and this one is very tasty.

Cheers!

 

Ommegang Abbey Ale, Futurama, and Organic Chemistry. I love Easter!

 

****New Fruit Beer Sunday****

Yeah, no special font altering from this forum luddite, folks. It's gonna be a forcefully lazy Easter for me, just the way I like it. All I'm looking forward to is the traditional ham dinner from Mumsy-Dearest. Good times.

Can't say that the first of my few new fruit beers today (new both to me and to the BA database, apparently) was all good times. 'Twas Blue Moon's newest Summer offering, Agave Blonde: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/306/80193/?ba=TMoney2591.

Back for more in a bit...

 

New beer Sunday is either gonna be Heretic or Dreadnaught. I gotta a feeling it might be both. Let's see what happens.
Cheers

 

At work now, but it's nice outside and in 2 hours I'll pop open Shenanigans from Odell

 

I tol' ya I'd be back for more! This time it's AB's raspberry follow-up to Wild Blue, Wild Red: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/80195/?ba=TMoney2591. Stay tuned for the blackberry...

Liked this one more than my review reflected. Hoppy Easter and Happy NBS everyone.

Looking forward to hearing from all those other folks that have actually sampled a beer today...

Cheers!

 

I warned y'all I'd drop the Wild Black on ya: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/80198. I speak troof. Sadly...

 

Really New Fruit Beer Sunday

Nice, refreshing beer from Atwater in Detroit. Good pairing with the ball game on TV.

New Oatmeal Stout Sunday


Some Elysian Dragonstooth Imperial Oatmeal Stout.

Love Oatmeal Stouts and this is really good one. A little heavy on the aniseed but the bitter, hoppy finish makes up for it. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/700/2023

 

How bout "2 new Beer Sunday" for me here. I am in Michigan also by the way, and I had such a great weekend! I got to enjoy so much stellar craft beer with a good friend and some family as well. The highlight was probably breaking into my first KBS bottle of this years batch. But my 2 new beers to try were, first exactly what you mentioned, a "Prolonged Enjoyment". Now I'm just about to celebrate yet another wonderful win by our Detroit Tigers with my first ever "ControversiALE". An unbelievable 2 amazing finishes and a 3 game shut out! Here's to a potentially stellar year!
Sipping on the Controversiale right now and it's very good! Both of these shorts have been great tasting.

 

I thought today would be an excelent day to go through some of Flying Dogs beers, so far I 'ved tried their Tire Bite Golden Ale, it was ok.


Now I'm having a Double Dog Double Pale Ale, I like it. It smells great, but the abv comes through a little to much for me.

 

I'm going to go APA on this one as well, although they call it a "white IPA." Chainbreaker White IPA from Deschutes. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/68942

Not a bad brew. A sour hoppy version of a wit, which really isn't as bad as it sounds.

Nice spring day here in dry land wheat country. First lawn mowing of the season this morning, so I'll be looking forward to more crisp clean beers in the weeks to come.

Happy Trails.

 

Foreign/Export Stout

My NBS contribution is a beer from Alameda Brewhouse in Portland, Oregon. It had some fantastic qualities but fell short where it counts most. Black Bear XX Stout

New Belgian Pale Sunday (week 373)


First beer was fantastic, this one not so much. Not bad mind you, as I take another sip. Just not what I was hoping. Then again, how often is life ever so good as we hope and often expect. Today is a day of thanks and I am thankful for fine beer, even ones not so fine. New is good, always, right? Sorry for sucky pic

New Coffee Stout Sunday:


Central Waters Peruvian Morning

It was incredibly average

 

I don't usually review beers as I wanted to obtain some more experience before doing so and this is my first time posting in NBS. I bought this one Friday and thought I would save for today as Chocolate on Easter sounded appropriate. The weather here in Oklahoma is a bit chilly for a Spring day compared to the upper 80s we had recently so this one went well with the day overall;

My rating was rather high but I am really loving everything about this brew although a tad spicy on the finish and I love spice. I think this is what craft beer is all about. Cheers ~
