What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2091

The cheapest I’ve found 16 was $86, most places want $106

 

New session IPA from Big Lake. This was really delicious. Great head retention/lacing on the glass. Flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Similar/muted aromas. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation, light-medium body, and moderately crisp finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts and sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light resins/rinds, light-moderate increasing bitter dryness, minimal hop astringency. Very flavorful/refreshing, 4.2%. Not aggressive or watery at all. 100% Mosaic, so I knew I'd be a fan. Great juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a solid pale malt backbone, and minimal residual sweetness. Really well made for the style/ABV. Glad I got the pack as expected. 3.88


This has been in the fridge for a long ass time, guess I should review it. Only was able to get a single, vs 2 packs year prior. Hope distro doesn't suck this year. This was fantastic as expected. Amazing lasting head retention and thick lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, fudge, marshmallow, vanilla, spicy rye whiskey, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, leather, and tobacco. Touch of booze in the aromas as it warmed. Mild roast/char bitterness and rye whiskey/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and full body; with a very creamy, silky, velvety, and rich mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight slickness, stickiness, chalky roast, whiskey/oak tannins, and increasing dryness. Lightly increasing warmth of 12.6%, with a touch of barrel booze lingering after the finish. Amazing balance of rich malts and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with amazing barrel integration. Not overly boozy/drying. Look forward to the return. Definitely better with age, so glad I sat on it. Super silky/soft feel with restrained tannins. 4.28


Cheers

Was listening to the Rock Anthem spotify playlist all day. Forgot how much I love Classic Rock.

 

This beer is such a dynamo and after a long day its tasting even better.

I need to go get some provisions before I get too sloppy drunk, which won’t happen anyway I never over indulge.

 

Yes. The yogurt flavor definitely came through. It was very nice.

 

# 4. Same as #2, if you get my drift. Cheers to all my Chicagoland peeps, but especially @joe1510 and @BSiegs - hope to be there in your fair city in mid-August. Deets later.

 

fine looking oysters, makes me want to rake some clams this weekend.

 

What did the olive say when he rolled off the table?

 

Imgur is being an ass. Trying another app

 

Finback something mosaic. Cheers

 

Now the chores and errands are finished it's time for a free beer.

In my glass is some Dos Equis Amber from a bottle that was a gift from a neighbor. Since I've not had a bottle of this beer in about 8 years this is a good chance to revisit the beer. So far the beer is not bad and is reasonably drinkable.

 

Great version. Only a few months before RVZ moved on to the other side.

 

I love that movie!

 

In most stores around here, the cheapest you'll find Lagavulin 16 is 79.99 (which prolly comes out to $86, eh? ), but Total Wine sells it for - ready? - $59.99!!! When TW opened, and I saw that price, it was literally my first purchase... I couldn't believe it...

No wonder they're putting everyone out of business...
