What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4155

it's dry but smells of banana and lager. If there is wheat I want to hunt it down. Bring it on in now for a slow dance.

Up late AF again.,. anxious to get back home to my flat in Toulouse this weekend.,.

Beautiful (hilarious) quote. What brings/takes you back if you don't mind sharing?

 

I enjoy this song. Reminds me of Moby.

 

Hell yeah, nothing like being gifted beer!

 

Good morning Advocates,
waiting to travel to Brighton next week, I had a nice beer in front of Bayern Munich demolishing a small lazio.
I've already talked about this beer (and added it to the database), but the first time I had it, it really left me enraptured even though I'm no longer a big drinker of this style.
Since availability is not always easy, having seen it again I bought two more cans and therefore I'm writing two more lines from the beginning:

Alder Beer Co. (Seregno, ITA) - MORRO BAY - West Coast Double IPA (7,5%)

44 cl can (€7), indications on the label: "Lot: L333E ; Canned on: 01/08/2024 ; Best consumed by: 11/05/2023".
American West Coast style double IPA with
hops: Comet, Chinook CGX, Citra, Amarillo, Simcoe, Mosaic, malts: Pils, Cara and addition of sugar and use of yeast: American Ale.
For completeness: the CHINOOK CGX is a cryogenic version of Crosby Hops (Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA).

On the nose, intense aromas of yellow and summer fruit, but also of citrus fruits: yellow peach, ripe plum, pineapple, grapefruit.
Versata is a deep blonde, but very clean: almost completely transparent.
In the mouth, a full-bodied beer, nice and dense, in which the flavor contribution of the malts is completely absorbed and masked by a long and complex bouquet of fruit: I mainly smell yellow peach and citrus fruits (grapefruit, orange peel), a light tropical nuance (passion fruit) before the beer ends with a pleasant bitterness (citrusy and slightly herbaceous), which leaves room for the fruity taste on the palate and leaving a bitter (not excessive) hint on the tongue.
Double IPA that is drunk with disarming ease, even if a more lively carbonation would have helped further.
Explosive and full taste, fragrant and enveloping which ends with a pleasant bitter hint of the right intensity (although for my personal tastes... even a slightly more bitter note compared to all this fruit would not have bothered me) .





Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

G'day all!

The mildness of Winter in Casper continues.

I'm having another Komes Baltic Porter. The price is easy, ~$4.50, and it tastes very good. AFAIK, the only Baltic Porter in town currently.

Prost!

Oh,an interesting bit on the back label regarding how it changes with age.

 

Happy rainy Wednesday BA's

Quite a contrast today vs Monday and Tuesday here, when it was in the 70s and sunny! Ah well, it is still (late) winter after all!

Still one of my fav Irish stouts.....good old Murphy's! Loving it!

 

Yes, life in the Great Lakes region. On Feb. 27th we had high of 73° during the day and then a low of 16° that night. Only a 56° swing in a matter of hours.

 

Sip of Sunshine before heading out to mow the lawn.

 

Cheers!

 

I'm on a lawn mowing hiatus right now. Next month sometime it'll be time to stash the snowblower and bring out the mower. I prefer the mowing, that means the weather's nicer.

 

As you can see, math was a strong suit for me.

I enjoy mowing, ear buds in, muffs over them, self propelled mower so I get 1/2 acre of steps....cheers!!

WCIPA hopped with Nectaron, Simcoe Citra, and Mosaic Cryo. I was happy to find this locally and compare my impressions to the thorough review by@beergoot.

I think that it is a first rate WCIPA, and plan to buy it again.
