New Beer Sunday (week 798)

Fucking gorgeous shots!

 

Great pic of the players!

 

No worries. You did fine. Enjoyed reading your take on this. And with the honeysuckle note, color me curious.

 

I think a lot of malty/floral sweetness gets mapped to "honeysuckle" in my brain. Not sure why, but that's what it makes me think of, so that's what I write down.

Thanks for your kind words!

 

Kids over beer for sure. We play two against me, and even duel firing, they do alright!

 

Hello Late Night NBS.
Thanks to @larryi86 for yet ANOTHER box of beer in our seemingly unending NBS BIF #11.
Today we have an iteration of DDH Hop Showers (Vic Secret) by Other Half

Hazy. Golden hued straw in color with a fluffy white head that pushed 2 fingers, then slowly settled in as a clumpy ring and and some serious clinging to the glass.
Aroma bursts with an earthy leaning tropical blend of pineapple, guava, and kiwi fur (the fruit-HAHA). A mild citrus note peeks in at the end.
Taste is definitely more tropical than citrus. The guava and pineapple begin forcefully but then do leave a little space for a zesty citrus to slowly build. It begins as grapefruit but lets a tad of tangerine come in. Finally it closes out with a slow, drying hint of dank.
Mouthfeel is mildly fluffy, actively carbonated, and retains a unique mineral water feel to it.
Overall, with the hop profile I was just expecting (hoping) for a bit more citrus. Not a knock against it, but more up my alley.
Great mouthfeel though. Hmm, is it the water?

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75
3.82/5 rDev -9.5%

 

And that's how we do!

 

ISO:
I got excited with you. I wanna try it.

 

Nice Rack!!! HAHA I know, I know. That's what she said. Sorry I had to. But on another note, I completely agree. In spite of some very trying times, I am inspired by, and appreciative for, the kindness and community I am seeing more and more of. I think this COVID situation really brought a lot of good out of people, and as for the last week or so, I see more empathy and searching for understanding, and less mindless reactionism. Not preaching here. I'm just seeing hope that people of different perspectives are a little more willing to try to understand perspectives that are different from their own.

 

Glad you finally tried it. HAHA. Yeah that's my wife's go-to beer at the brewhouse/restaurant.
