I have homework to do! Thanks @Andelliotsaid and @core42! I do have a hoppy saison (Citra Sunshower from Trillium) in my fridge along with 2 porters. However, a lot of hops to get through yet thanks to my box from @pnelting and some trading with my brother on Sunday. Only had 1 sour, Carton's Dune Fruit and didn't like it. Think I'll slowly easy my way into it though!
Dear Sender, I am out of town right now for work but my brother lives with me & will grab the box from my porch but pr0n will be delayed
Keep in mind that sour styles range in flavor profile and pretty much every other aspect just as much as non-sour styles, please don't give up after just one!
I just saw a few notifications from UPS. I'm either getting a few boxes from this BIF or my wife has been doing a lot of shopping on Amazon.
Definitely not giving up on sours! I like beer too much and want to try everything! Don't drink anything else. No wine, no whiskey, etc. Only time I drink something else is the occasional shot at a wedding or fruity drink on vacation.
Yeah my only other drink besides beer is Moscow Mule. Sometimes go for one with bourbon instead of vodka, but really I'm just a sucker for anything with ginger in it.
You should try Ginja Ninja, it isn't rated super high, but it's pretty tasty and has a nice ginger flavor: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34658/127792/
Cigar City and Terrapin have a beer out called Vapricot that is rated fairly well. I don't care for ginger, therefore, not my cup of tea.
Super-sly, completely-new, zero-marking box just landed at my counter. Feels heavy, I feel beer bottles in there. Some Pr0n to follow I believe. I had @Smarty_Pints down as a possible sender but since he blew up another porch (great box!), I'm thinking this may some FL love from @Steban if my figures are right.....
Well I think we have the first fallen soldier of the Newbie BIF... After digging in the bag, I started to get that sweet smell of spilled beer that's sat for awhile. This poor bottle of Prairie Pirate Noir put new meaning to that skull on the label - DOA. Thing is, this box was packed so well. Each bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap and in a solid Ziploc. All contents were packed inside a garbage bag. None of the spill leaked to the outside of the container but it did get out of the Ziploc causing zero problems to any other bottles due to the great pack job. Only explanation I have is that there was a little wiggle room between all the bottles and maybe this smaller size bottle got a little sideways and had the top shear off or maybe one of the bigger 22oz bottles was able to jostle around and tomahawk the top off.
Yep, it was a false alarm. Ninja box from my Dad who is in FL. That is my first broken bottle out of 50+ boxes received. If what you say is true @Elkevjoe then we are both in good hands..
