versus
2) Hop Butcher Blazed Green Relish (8.0% canned 2/6/24): A NEIPA from Chicago with Citra, Strata, and Sabro for flavors of fresh orange, green papaya, and zesty citrus. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Hop Butcher IPA Battle. First is Treez Freez. Nice hop combo. This one is very tropical with berry, grape, and melon flavors. Smooth and slightly sweet.
Next is Blazed Green Relish. I did this in a battle yesterday. Strata and Sabro for nice green flavors. They don't pop as much, but great flavors for what is there.
Winner: Treez Freez: Treez Freez getting the easy win here. Wondertful and smooth tropical flavors. A most excellent IPA.

 

Hell of a board

 

Obsessed with these front-line POV videos from the Ukraine war. Brutal stuff. Trench warfar and urban combat. If you want to know what WW2 was like, but with drones, this is exactly it. This should be more widely covered like this. People need to understand how fast your way of life can get turned upside down

Focal Banger - The Alchemist (7.0% canned on 3.19.24)

 

Tough matchup, IMO.

 

Back home with a Jai Alai out back in the windy, 72 degree sun.

 

That could've ended up a hell of a lot worse. Good that nobody was hurt and apparently little to no damage, just a big pain in the ass change of plans.

 

This stuff looked a little weird, but still tasting good. Any see a furry little prick named Phil pimp slap him like an 18 old hooker. Cheers

 

How’s this one? Death and Taxes for Raul:

 

Shout 'oat' to oatboi @RaulMondesi

 

Hazy Hearted IPA ~ Bell's


Magnet and Steel ~ Walter Egan

 

Really nice stuff here.

 

I decided this local Belgian style blonde needed a tulip, but this is all I've got, so I'm double fisting it.
Anthem: Golden One. Smells of green apple & unripe pear, hint of plastic. Taste follows, +banana. Finishes dry w pepper & coriander bite. Got to review this soon... only 13 so far!

 

Liking this one from Moniker.

 

Golden Road Mango Cart c/o La Herradura in Norfolk VA

 

Great beer great tune!

 

I stopped to buy cans at Magnify and I’m trying one of last week’s releases, Hi-Di-Ho Neighbor, a DIPA collaboration with Farm Truck Brewing, a neighbor of Mag’s new South Jersey facility. Very easy drinking for 8.3. Thursday cheers, BAs!

 

A beautiful 71° today with forecasted snow by the weekend. Springtime.
Now it's time for "from the land of sky blue waters".

Mark's new album is out April 12th - I pre-ordered it a while back, everything I've heard has been excellent.
