    Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

    I had suprisingly never given this Farmhouse Ale a try before, despite living just 4 hours outside of KC. Boy was that a mistake, Tank 7 is without a doubt the very best Farmhouse Ale that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Well balanced spicing, along with the incredible masking of alcohol make this a beer that many should look to for an example of how to properly do a Farmhouse Ale.

    #2, after a middling #1, this is most excellent. The creaminess imparted by the oats cranks this APA up about 3 notches. Have a wonderful night, BA's.

    Broke 2 glasses tonight while washing dishes; the 33 oz brandy snifter and the Dogfish Head IPA glass. May they rest in pieces. Finishing the bacon and the ground beef pizza and still have 5 cans of Abrasive left after this one.

    It's a fantastic IPA with great tropical and hop characteristics, but not overpowering in any way. Be aware though, the 8.5% ABV can really sneak up on you if you plan on picking up a 4 pack.

    Next time I'll get a deep dish to showcase! What toppings do you usually get on pizza?

    It's a great thing to see such a fantastic and long running brewery (brewing since '89) finally get the distribution that they deserve.

    Ninkasi Tricerahops DIPA. This was after a good side-by-side comparison of Madtree's Galaxy High and the (4/27 canned) Citra High. Good night of DIPAs for sure.

    The nightcap, Founders Brewing Co. - Porter.
    After some big beers, the palate is thoroughly cleansed to enjoy this one.

    First time drinking this beer and not sure what I am tasting? Something is very dominant. Seems like some sorta rind I can't not pick up. To anyone who has had this beer before please inform me. I did just finish Smells Like A Safety Meeting, but I drank some water.
    CHEERS BA!

    I invested in some plain water crackers and plain knackebrod (crispbread), eat a couple with some water and wait a minute or two and that usually cleans your palate enough to enjoy the next round. At least that is what I do.

    I used to do taste tests once in a while for Wrigley and between sticks of gum they gave us a couple crackers and a small cup of water. I totally just had a flashback.
