The Bruery Coconut Macaroon. Was just stopping by my LBS to finish my Christmas beer shopping, and saw it on draft. Couldn't resist a taste.

 

Other Half Vapor Rings. Cheers

 

Shopping and cleaning and errands done - daughter here around 3:30....time for a Brut break



a friend gave me this cool vintage Trappist chalice....I dig it

 

Ok, here’s one I liked originally, somewhat surprisingly, as a fairly bitter amber ale. This last batch reset my opinion, but more because of the alcohol bite.

Been in fridge for 4 months or so now, got some floaties, and isn’t as bad as a couple months ago, but is still a little hot. That said, might only get halfway through this one.

 

Finishing the bottle.



Cheers!

 

Late outdoor lunch with Melvin & Pinot...

Alvarado Street Brewery — Sippin' on Ginger Juice
This kettle sour was canned on 12.10.18 FWIW.



The Ginger Juice comes with a murky, bright yellow body. An aggressive pour yields about 3/4 fingers of head, though I have to mention that this is a really wide glass. There is no head retention — the non-uniform white head dissipates almost immediately (sort of like Coca-Cola in from the soda machine). The is not lacing either. Lots of ginger on the nose. It is for sure the dominating flavor. If I'm honest, I'm not getting much else. On the taste, this is a lot more balanced. Yes, ginger is here, but there are definite peach notes, and something extra that I can't quite describe. In terms of feel, this is your typical kettle sour: medium to high carbonation, light body, no apparent alcohol. I will say, this is a pleasant kettle sour to drink. I've been worried about the ginger flavor in this, and although Ginger Juice is far from Alvarado's best, it's quite enjoyable. I am certainly glad to have picked this up.

Overall: 4.25 (rDev: +1.7%) — mine is the second review.
