    Try unplugging it and then hold the power button in for about 10 seconds. Then plug it back in - sometimes a hardware reset will fix it. I assume you've checked fuses etc..?

    I miss the old analog bass and treble controls. Something about using dials to adjust the levels, you can easily zero in on the desired sound, it's harder to do with the digital stuff.

    Lush, a DIPA from Frost Beer Works...far and away the best of the 3 I've tried from them. Not quite in the top-tier, but everything sits pretty well; amazing drinkability has this gliding down, and the balance of citrus and earthy tones is nicely done, as well. Cheers, BAs!

    Nice afternoon, if you can tolerate visible clouds of tree pollen being emitted. My car, bike, clothes are all yellow.

    Guinness Origianl (UK version - 4.2% ABV)



    3.45/5 rDev -9%
    look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

    Dark brown body; excellent head, thick, fuffy and billowy. Little aroma; just a bit of roasted grain with a twinge of sweetness. Respectable flavor; light roasted malt character; mild hop bitterness; a touch of sourness. Medium-heavy body; smooth and silky.

    A classic, no doubt, yet rather weak and mild compared to many other stouts now available (excluding massive barrel-aged monsters of today). The low ABV is a nice element, and it does have some distinction in taste, yet it seems almost quaint now. Still, if this were more readily available, it could very well be one of my go-to beers for low-key yet tasty beer.

    Clear but very dark amber gold color with large tan cap and lacing.

    Aroma of very lightly roasted malt and dark chocolate with a toffee center.

    Taste on entry emphasizes the roast element of the malt followed by a very firm hoppiness. Not too bitter, more like dark European style chocolate, but firm nonetheless. The different flavors are simple but well matched.

    1. New4 NJ-NYC 4+ Top rated IPAs & and a Porter
      Southern Hemisphere | Paradox - NYC
      4.34/5 rDev +5.3%
      look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
      Wow! yeah! My first review of the brewer and 5th of this fine DIPA. Blind taste against anyone.
      a) Hazed light golden body with retaining head and lace. Sudsy.
      s) Galaxy and Nelson hops prominant on the lemony, papaya nose.
      t) The flavors burst forward in tropical, fruity, citrus, chalky goodness - balanced by the hop bitter. Bright, inviting.
      f) Chalky, powdery, yet clean and drying in the finish. Nice mouth tickle.
      o) Go forth and blind taste vs your fave DIPAs.

      077-07603 - Ekuanot | Carton - NJ
      4.34/5 rDev -0.5%
      look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
      Rare Odub
      a) pours a hazed honey body with bright white head that last and laces.
      s) As usual, on a caramel base with cracker malt, float lemon, grapfruit with some pine and floral hops.
      t) Tart grapefruit and lemon upfront. Bitey / bitter astringent IBU of 80. SWEETER, calmer as it warms.
      f) Always nice mid-level mouth feel.
      o) Try 24.

      Revolution Porter | Tonewood NJ (can say Revolution because it was decided here in Jersey battles)
      4.2/5 rDev +5.6%
      look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
      Sum greater than the parts, this is one of the best porters, better than Anchor, Sierra, Bells, Great Lakes. NJ rocks for craft. My first from brewer, thrilled to be 4th reviewer.
      a) Without doubt the best looking as it lofts a creamy, textured tan head that lasts and laces over a bronze tinged black body.
      s) The only mark at4. Has the tell tales of coffee, roast, char, and chocolate with hop finale. Better as it warms.
      t) I thrill to accompany this with a pasta and bean casserole with veg. Follows smell but with muscle. Smokey, bitter, masculine, flavorful. I'd be in for a case.
      f) Clean and drying, no lingering sugar, good weight and carb.
      o) Would include in any best of porter's blind tastings. Award winning. Try 24.

      DDH Hi-Res | Sixpoint - NYC
      4.2/5 rDev +7.5%
      look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
      Never disappointed by sixpoint. Better than its cousin Hi-res. Powerful. Alcoholic.
      Liquor-like and one of most original Imperial IPAs I have I enjoyed.
      A: Like all six point a looker. Dense head, lacing, retention, clear amber body. Nearly perfect.
      S. sharp, w bit of tropical sunshine, behind the hop orange rind, marmalade front, Juicy like the taste.
      T. Hip caramel candy. Hop candy. Heads up the sunny Cliff where hops twine the fence around the citrus grove and pines bow in the salty, briny breeze. Oily, dense, flavor packed.
      F. Sweet clean liquor. How could a nectar be so bitter and sweet at once? Paradox. Love the brewer. This may be their best. A new fave. A new best 3IPA?
      The 11% sneaks up on you. Paradoxically good, but only if you go slow.

    I'm not drinking anything fancy today, but I am enjoying the beers. They pair well with college hoops! Speaking of which, is anyone interested in the tourney? If so, who are you picking to win it all? Cheers!

    Ditto that brother. My personal sound systems and my vehicles are a little older and thus have better stereos and sound. The "premium" stereos in vehicles these days are still garbage in comparison. Give me a classic JBL system or even a Monsoon.
