NBS BIF #13: Peninsular Envy 2 (The Rocket-Ball Inception)

If we included all the LIF, ninja, and revenge boxes, and counted fluid ounces, we might need a Cray super computer.

 

Yeah, the entire SW is virgin beer territory for me asides Shiner Bock, and that's only if you consider that part of TX to be in the SW.

 

Excepting southern California, of course. I've had a number of beers from there.

Okay, I gotta work through this stack of beers like a plumber laying pipe. This is courtesy of @WunderLlama. This is Aaalterrr Ego.

Decidedly a Tree House juice bomb, this has the obligatory Tree House look of hazy orange juice with a head that clings to the glass. The nose is heavy on tropical fruit (ripe tangerine) and mango, and the taste is led by the tangerines, with the mango accompanying and a nice creamy oat flavor at the end of the taste.

Yet another example of Tree House’s world-class status as a purveyor of all things juicy.

Pours a dark cola color with a tan head, the nose has the chocolate and graham aromas in abundance. The chocolate is most forward on the taste and the graham is a nice crackery flavor for balance, but the star of this beer for me is the marshmallow flavor - it is absolutely perfect.

This is a really nice flavor ride, and definitely hits the s’more notes. Really glad I had the opportunity to try this.

 

That beer is one of go to summer drinking beer

 

Ok my 2nd hit and my biggest box shipped at 39 pounds is in route to @Ozzylizard
Let’s hope this one makes it on the 1st go

 

The bombs that have been in this round is crazy and so much fun to be part of it

you all bat shit crazy

 

Sounds like we need to recruit from the SW for the next one! AZ has a pretty burgeoning scene apparently, so let's see if we can get someone from that massive bird a-rising called Phoenix!

You NEED to get you some Elevated from Le Cumbre. It is among my all time favorite IPAs.

 

I'm glad to see everything seems to have arrived in good shape!

I hope your excitement about the Peeps is for real, I wasn't 100% sure if they were available in your area (as near as I could tell they weren't). I also wasn't sure if you'd like them; they're a bit of a love/hate item, to be honest personally I hate em, but I know they are well liked in general.

And those Butter Krak Eggs are aptly named, they are as addictive as crack... You'd think this would go without saying (there being 8 of them, similar to Cadbury Creme eggs in terms of size and calorie density) but try to not eat them all in one sitting!

You all may or may not have been following my hints, which I admit never got all that close to revealing a specific target, but every one of them was 100% honest, the only subterfuge was that I was actually participating all along.

 

And now that my involvement has been established, I can also send a shout out to @nc41 for the box I received yesterday!

A nice selection of locals I've never had but one of (and it's been a few years since I've had Event Horizon, but I recall liking it VERY much)

Beside that, the Creature Comforts gose and the Zebulon raspberry sour, it's a box FULL of hops and lagers that are perfect for the warm sunny spring we've been having. And a can of salt and pepper peanuts I expect I'll eat while drinking some lager beer out of my new mason jar glass!

 

That label is awesome crazy.

 

I think, at one time there was a participant from NM. I cannot remember their name, however.
