What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3735

I’m waving back, from 3/4 of the world away

I’m the one on deck in the Bruins cap

 

My real one and done. This beer makes me want to break things.
DEEP SPACE
Cheers...

 

Pretty beat at this point, but will go as strong as I can with the 2 am PST start today.

First stop Homage. Music is loud and a bit annoying, Will see if I stay beyond one.

Homage Elizabelle



Brewery Notes: $8 16 is draft, 6% ABV ESB.

Appearance: Draft pour into a narrow nonic, creamy white tan head leaves creamy layer over the base. Dark ice tea colored base. 3.75

Aroma: Lemon citrus, light to faint in strength. 3.0

Taste: Lemon citrus taste as well, a little malty. Southern Sweet Ice tea vibes. 2.5

Mouthfeel: Dry, slightly bitter. Light and easy drinking, despite a higher than normal abv for the style. A consistent prickly carbonation adds depth to a watery light base. 3.25

Overall: Perhaps not the first style this brewery is known for. May have liked it better on cask. Debating on whether to order a second beer here. 2.75

I have been know to partake of adult beverages other than beer.

 

Enegren Brewing Nighthawk Schwartzbier - enjoying another beer from the Lagerfest box. Focusing on the darker lagers first!

 

This is good, but just not great for me.

 

Sixth Lord. An IPA brewed by Basic City in Waynesboro, Virginia.

 

Wax Wings - The Pursuit (Double IPA)

cheers!!

 

Back home with a Two Hearted......

 

I have had the beer and found it really good.

 

I did not know Jeff Beck passed. I used to listen to his music a lot during my wayward youth.

 

Had to go with Banquet with Aperol added to it this time for @TongoRad
I’m not much of an Aperol fan. This drink would be better with a beer with more bitterness.

 

Sun’s Out Hops Out. An IPA brewed by Solace in Sterling, Virginia.

 

I'm really digging these 12 ounce pours - really sick of 16 oz cans.

 

Moving on, vibe and beer list looks better here, let’s hope the beer follows. With a @RaulMondesi Chavez Ravine background and aptly named beer in the foreground.

Highland Park Brewery Hello, LA



Brewery Notes: $8 16 oz pour, WCIPA with Mosaic and Citra, 6.8% ABV.

Appearsnce: 16 oz ish shaker pint pour. Clear golden straw color vase devoid of carbonation. Creamy egg white ring around the rim and a dusting over the center. 3.25

Aroma: As dank as a weed filled CTA El Train Circa 2022. Cheech and Chong in the house. Not much else behind the curtain. Peaks my taste curiosity. 3.75

Taste: Steven A. Smith wouldn’t like this beer, but I’m digging it. Weeduh front and center, packed by a nice pine, citrus light tropical tangerine-ish back. Comes together well, frankness mellows a bit as I I near the half mile marker. 4.25

Mouthfeel: Dry, dank, light bitterness though sweetness pops in here and there. Drinks at the listed ABV, light prickly carbonation lurks behind the deceptively still base. Light and watery, dank pine lingers wonderfully. 4.25

Overall: Nice welcome to Highland Park Brewery, and nice West Coast Beer to break in the trip. May order a second tonight or upon a return trip. 4.0

For the win

 

I liked both yet I found Photon to be more existent in the session IPA realm. I also really like Zero Gravity Little Wolf Pale Ale and even it, IMHO, borders on the style. I'd have it in a New York minute! All great tasting beers. Cheers!
