Reviews:

This is a pretty good Helles; but it feels more like a German Pilsner. Great lasting head retention and dense soapy lacing down the glass. Really fantastic appearance-wise. Aromas and flavors of crackery/biscuit malts and herbal/grassy/light peppery hops with some mild yeasty earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness; smooth and crisp finish with some light-moderate hop stickiness and a touch of grainy creaminess in the mouthfeel. Moderate dryness from bitterness. Medium carb/light-medium bodied. Very clean lagering, no off flavors or esters. All in all, I definitely enjoyed it. A bit too hoppy and dry for a Helles overall, though.


Very nice rauchbier! Aromas and flavors of wood smoke, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, and light nutty malts; with some light-moderate herbal/grassy/light peppery hops; and some very slight fruitiness. Aromas were muted but good. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness; with a balanced bitter/sweet finish with great balance of smoke and dark/bready malts. Very smooth with light-moderate creaminess and hop stickiness in the mouthfeel. Clean lagering with zero off flavors. Very flavorful/robust for 4.9%. Other than the weak aromas, no complaints!


Picked up last weekend when I was in Fargo/Moorhead, 11/2/15 dated. Incredible! Aromas and flavors of huge grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, papaya, mango, lemon zest, orange peel/rind, and pine; with light-moderate honey/bready maltiness and herbal/floral/grassy dank hop earthiness. Good amount of pine/rind/herbal bitterness; with a very smooth and sticky/resinous mouthfeel with a touch of bready malt creaminess. Nice moderate dryness from sticky bitterness; with no cloying or astringency from hops at all. A bit above medium bodied; but still really well attenuated on sweeetness for the ABV, with very minimal warming. Fantastic stuff! Glad I got a 4 pack. I have a single of Furious and Bender on its way in my 46 lbs of boxes coming on Wednesday.


Cheers!

 

Death By Coconut... For dessert

Very very good, a little sweet is ok with me.

 

I found one more 4 pack at a small local store. Sometimes it's nice to live in a small town.
Cheers!

 

Sounds interesting, be nice to see it here.

Cheers!

Tripel Karmeliet from Brouwerij Bosteels.

A beautiful beer.

 

Mayflower makes some pretty tasty brews!

This will finish me off for the night... Local favorite for me and a wonderful Holiday beer.
Night Ya'll!

 

Birthday beers for me tonight

 

Cool! I heard the first 4 before I had to bail ... I'll check it out!

Another beer:


When do we get to "late night" around here? Are we there yet?

Cheers!

 

Try this coffee stout lovers. Roasty, hearty, and tasty.

 

Happy birthday, excellent choice!

 

Happy Monday! First time having this one. Pretty tasty.

 

Your post deserves 2 Likes: One for the rauchbier and one for the Animals As Leaders. Excellent taste, man.

 

Russian River - Consecration (6/17/15)

Been a while since I've had this one. I think it is my favorite of their regular sour line-up. Have an older one I am sitting on for a while longer still, but this one is so great fresh, too!

Cheers!

Not too bad, I have had worse, but I have had plenty that are better as well. I think the Single bottle will be enough for my curiosity.

 

That brewery is allergic to hops...

 

A lovely farmhouse ale that I can't believe I hadn't tried yet!!! Cheers to the worst day of the week, Tuesdays!!!
