NBS BIF #17 Hints and Hauls: Subaru Drivers Won't Keep Us From Our Magic Water Breakfast

I am typing this on a Telex machine …..





From @Roguer and his Watson supercomputer, on our first day back at the lake, I wanted to try something special.

This is not special.







It’s somewhere about 50 miles beyond special. Pouring that ubiquitous Tree House turbid, hazy color (in this case orange), the creamy off white head coats the glass as you drink the beer?

How do they do that EVERY SINGLE TIME? Anyway, the nose is a citrus juice lover’s delight, with slabs of mango, ripe oranges, and passion fruit assaulting your olfactory senses. Incredible.

The taste is simply the nose on PED’s, with the mango leading the citrus deployment for the ripe orange and passion fruit flavor, yet allowing a nice sweet oat flavor to cover the flank.

The mouthfeel is full, soft, and supple. It should be a felony to make an 8% ABV beer this drinkable, but it’s not surprising coming from the hazy masters.

Rated 4.60, you are a rockstar beer nerd, Andrew.

 

Box came in with some excellent looking snacks(yes I consider beer a snack 100%)

Thank you @Whyteboar, I'm gonna dig into one of these bells pretty quick here! Kiddos are already squawking at me like vultures for that fudge lmao

 

#2, also from @Roguer, this is a long time want that I could never seem to acquire. That changes this beautiful evening in Northern Indiana.





4.35/5 rDev +3.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Pours a very hazy, dark orange color with a white head that provides significant lacing. The is heavy on the maple syrup and blueberries. I am very intrigued.

The taste is all about the maple and blueberries, with a nice balance between the two to prevent the hazy from approaching Cloyingville. Really works on my palate.

The mouthfeel is full and soft. This is a nice departure from the TH juice bomb profile, reminding you that these guys are world-class brewers for a reason.

 

Hey, @Rug ...

 

Mmmmmmm…. Coffee milk. Both of my boys were born in Rhode Island and raised on coffee milk. Kids in the ocean state might drink chocolate milk but they prefer coffee milk. That is a fine delicacy .

Rhode Island hot weiners? Ny system! Eat them once, taste them twice!

target …there is a haul hint here

I cut my computer teefs with MS-DOS and PC-DOS on IBM XTs and ATs and Chinese clones that did some funky crap. I do reviews on my laptop in Word (Not as good as WordPerfect) and have used LOTUS 1-2-3 before forcibly being switched to Excel. I have recently doubled my Apple cell phone usage - now, as well as calls, I use it for the GPS functions. During a software upgrade, UnTapped lost functionality and I can't say that I miss it. On rare occasions when I'm in a new-to-me purveyor of beer, I will sometimes add beers I haven't tried just for the sake of completeness, or possibly the well-thought-out and complicated reasons posited earlier. And yeah, back in the old days, I used to hang with Ninkasi

 

At first I thought a Rhode Island Hot Weiner must be a euphemism for an unfortunate condition, but now that I've read up on them I want to try one. Same with the coffee syrup.

 

They are small wieners, grilled on a hot surface, served with a toasted bun onions, a chili, meat sauce, mustard. Skilled Grillsmen will line up a dozen on his arm as he loads them up . usually a late night snack with college students to absorb a night of heavy maltrd beverages, personally I love them but you eat them once and sometimes you will taste them twice through several burps

It’s a Rhode Island’s version of a coney dog

 

Haul hint @budsNpils

Four the Shore by Vitaminsea with wifowmaker, untold and second wind




4.02/5 rDev +0.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Brewers Notes: Collaboration with Second Wind Brewing Company, Widowmaker Brewing, and Untold Brewing

NEIPA hopped with Columbus, Chinook, Citra and Cashmere.

Can purchased at Vitaminsea import into a pretentious beer glass produces a light orange hazy liquid capped by a two finger fizzy fuzzy big bubbled foam cap that has good retention.

Aroma is citrus, orange rind, lemon

Taste is citrus, orange rind, lemony notes on the finish, a little dank

Light mouth feel no hop by

Nice collaboration beer from these four boston south shore brewers

I think this is my last beer from @Whyteboar from our trade previous to this, but still new to me.

Transient Artisan Ales - Contronym


No canning date

Poured at fridge temp into a nonic glass

Pours a deep cola brown with a fairly dense tan head. Let it sit for a while accidentally and it settled into a nice ring and thin cap. 4

Gentle roasty and toasty coffee nose, some malt sweetness and dark breadiness. 4

Really reminds me of a darker and more savory julmust (Christmas soda) Dark malts, some roastiness, accompanied by dark bread. Totally love it! 4.25

Body is fairly light drinking but more filling as it sits. Carbo is balanced and not too sharp. 3.75

Overall a lovely representation of the style and one I'd absolutely return to. 4

 

Out of curiosity, same chart for just @FBarber. His claim that he's drinking less IPA seems to check out.

Super easy to generate for anyone else if you're curious

 

Glad you enjoyed it!
