    Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday evening was the typical family dinner for Christmas which we had earlier for merely practical reasons, the family is either far away or far and few now but that’s fine.

    My cousins must have heard of my appreciation for beer (duh) and I got a mixed haul of various beers. Today is shit weather wise but I can’t expect anything else.

    Having a beer from Tahiti, which I’ve never had before. I’m feeling slightly better just thinking of this year round warm, sunny and gorgeous island.

    It’s a decent beer.

    A rare early morning appearance for me because I've been awake since 4am and there's much to do.:dizzy_face: Grabbed a Celebration from the garage fridge along with the 25lbs of pork butt for the kielbasa I need to get working on. Have yourselves a festive day!:beers:

    It's going to be a lot of water and no beer for awhile. Had total hip replacement two days ago. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all.

    Is it made in Tahiti or contract brewed elsewhere? A lot of beers from island countries/territories like Tahiti that we get in the US are actually made in the US, or even Europe. I did however had this beer in Japan once and it was actually made in Tahiti.

    Good day BAs! Off to an overcast start here on the tundra of NW PA, 36F/4C with rain moving in in a couple of hours. @Shanex, thanks for starting the thread! The last time we exchanged xmas gifts outside the immediate family, I was asked what I though of the beers I was given. I gave them an off-the-top-of-the-head review of each beer. That was the last time we exchanged gifts, diplomacy never being my strong suite.

    Although the spruce terpenes don’t come through in the flavor, I’ll give them points for using needles rather than “Natural Flavors”. The flavor isn’t anything special, not bad, just not exceptional, with the pears most prevalent in the aroma. The earthy herbaceousness of the nose is good but much weaker in the flavor. Still, for the price point, I can’t complain. Rating 3.74, rDev -1.6%

    Good morning/day BAs! Up early, some chores done, it’s coffee time - Jackie O’s “Champion Ground” (2023) BBA Imperial Coffee Stout:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 2023. Poured at 52°. A perfectly ok coffee stout…tasting notes shortly on NBW…

    Brother Brian has to go in to work at the restaurant today, so I’ll see him around midnight. My shopping/Xmas stuff is finished, so I’m gonna lay around the shack ‘till the mail train comes back, drinking my fill of tasty beers - Cheers y’all and have a great Saturday!

    Too early for a beer for me, but just wanted to wish you a quick and full recovery. Hope you're able to enjoy the holidays as well. Cheers!

    I hope you have a speedy recovery. I know a few folks who had hip and/or knee replacement and just about all of them say they wish they had done it sooner. No beer for awhile does not sound like fun but you will be happy with the results.

    Contract brewed in Europe… it made me wonder a bit too because Tahiti is literally on the other side of the world.

    La bête - “The Beast”; French beer. Not too great this one. A metallic and artificial taste. Not going to drain pour, but not enjoying it.

    G'day all! Especially to @cbcrunch ! Recovery is just a short ways away.

    Interesting peach sour from Community Beer Works. Kind of a new kid on the block; added to the database.

    Prost!
