    I was there with my son. Could not believe the crowd on a Wednesday. This one is amazing but I can see where it will be even better in a week.

    Pipeworks -- Choice Helles Lager



    4.16/5 rDev -0.2%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

    Pale, straw yellow body; good carbonation; nice head, a bit soapy and rocky, lasting. Fine aroma of light grain and pilsner malt; esters; a touch of freshly cut pear. Clean taste; very light bread crust; hoppy and spicy notes, peppery initially and then mellowing out. Crisp and relatively light body; fairly dry mouthfeel.

    This is a mighty fine pilsner. It has a gorgeous light body and decent, lasting head. The taste is well-balanced and nuanced with soft grains and excellent hop flavor, not too bitter. There are some mighty fine American brewed pilsners coming out of late, many just one-offs (e.g., TRVE / Untitled Art Pilsner). I hope this one stays around for a while. It's mighty good...

    Oh damn. That sucks it would have been cool to meet you. I don’t know if this rings a bell but I was the abnormally tall guy wearing a Southern Tier Unearthly grey t-shirt.

    Honestly I was on the lookout for someone self described as freakishly tall but did not see you. I would have come over

    Fantastic fruit sour. Opaquely murky fruit color. Great head retention/spotty lacing. Aromas and flavors of huge sour/tart/tangy apricot, peach, fruit fuzz/skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, and grass; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough malts; light vanilla, peppercorn, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation, medium-plus body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/bready/grainy wheat, lactic acid, fruit tang/tannins, and light slickness in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing acidic/tangy dryness; no pucker/astringency. Very smooth, pretty refreshing, not overly lactic, zero warming 7.7%. Fantastic balance of super juicy/jammy apricots and Lacto complexity; with a great pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Mild residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. Another impressive one in this fruit sour series. 4.2

    Haha, I was siting at a bench by the windows for awhile until one of my buddies met me and we hung by the bar. My number was 104 so I had awhile to wait. I like that though, at least you can order a pint and sit down and not have to line up.

    An amazing 3-Bean-Stout with a great, rich balance of tonka, coffee and cocoa beans, as well as roasted/bitter and sweet notes, with the former clearly dominating, which is just the way I like it. Not a hint of booziness to this at 13% ABV either, fantastic stuff.

    My girlfriend brought me this can from Vitamin Sea, and I am still deciding what I think of it. She loves it, for sure. This is the first beer I've ever had from this brewery. Cheers, everyone!

    I’ve had a handful of Urban Artifact “Fruit Tarts” and I’ve enjoyed all of them except that beer, which to me was a thin, undercarbonated, overly acidic and one dimensional mess. I was rather disappointed.

    Noooo! That’s sacrilegious they changed that label. Is there a petition to sign?

    I haven't had one of these since I moved a year ago. Tasting more like those first batches I drank a couple of years ago. Perhaps absence does make the heart grow fonder?

    I was #84 and most of the time we were outside on the first bench nursing a beer.

    Dog and wife are asleep on the other side of the couch, so I’m sitting watching Guys Grocery Games and sipping on this one.

    Threw some chicken breasts, onions and some bbq sauce I bought off a guy at the bar the other day in the crock pot. Should be some nice shredded chicken bbq by the morning.

    Shout out to Myron for hustling his bbq sauce at the bar. :sweat_smile: Says he was a local chef, who knows, was too many beers in to care. Shits good though.
