    I would have done the pumpkin beer thing tonight, but, instead, I popped my New Jersey beer cherry thanks to @SammyJaxxxx

    Damn this is good, though, almost too easy to drink. On a hot summer day, if I had several of these, I'd get into a lot of trouble with them.

    4.04/5 rDev +0.7%
    look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

    Pours an amber color. Fairly clear. The head is one finger, slightly off white, frothy, and has decent retention. No lacing on the glass.
    The nose is really nice and tart blueberry. The tartness lingers in my nose.
    Taste - It's actually mellow for a second, then the tartness kicks in. After it gets almost smooth and a slight sweetness on the backside.
    The body is actually quite light, but not watery at all. No real alcohol feel in spite of it being a 7% beer.
    Damn fun drinking and delicious sour. One slight problem with it, in a way, it's almost too easy to drink. I could easily pound these on a hot day, and get into trouble fast. I'd enjoy it though.

    Thanks so much for sending this to me, and I can't wait to try the others.

    Had a beer that @FFFjunkie sent me last round; thought I'd share since I gave it a little oomph. 2017 BA Ten Fidy. I had about 1/4 of the beer as it was meant to be enjoyed. The other 3/4...

    Toasted the coconut

    French press the coconut

    Pour out the beer. Note: Below the pour line, that is not coconut. It is just small carb bubbles.

    Thanks again for the beer Dan. I'll get you back a little at a time. I can't crush like you and so many others in this crazy group.

    @Dragginballs76 Dear Mr. Ball, you ever break yours in yet? Like the tattoo pictures, pics or it never happened.

    Glad you enjoyed the beer Sean! That toasted coconut looks pretty damn good!

    Did you like it better before or after the French press treatment? You know for science.....

    Good idea, Sean! I believe I still have one can left. How long did you steep the beer in coconut? In KBS, I left it for 20-30 minutes and it didn't impart much coconut at all. Have to try again!

    When it was colder, I liked the original. When it warmed up to room temp, I liked having some coconut added to it. Something tells me you'll be conducting science experiments soon.

    I went for about 30 min in the fridge. Now that its almost stout season (even though it never matters in Hawaii), I'll probably try it on other beers. Maybe coconut Narwhal?

    FTFY

    I just got my ticket as well and I am really looking forward to it. I wish I could get my hands on Barrel Aged Abraxas! I have lots of PIPs meads.

    I know you are/were a fan of Ghost early on. That reminds me of them. Especially the new song, obviously. I bit different for them. Reminds me of some 70s Kiss. I like it though.

    I love Ghost. I've never had the opportunity to see them live (stupid delivery schedule!), so I'm stoked about this show. Bringing a good friend whom I recently introduced to the band.

    Hope you have a great time, man! I'd love to hear which track you enjoy most in concert. I'm a very big fan of Monstrance Clock and From the Pinnacle to the Pit. LOVE that video. If you haven't seen it, definitely watch it - love the style.
