Great pic!

 

Weihenstephaner Krstallweiss...looks like I'm joining @cbcrunch with this one. Always a classic.

Joe Henderson, Power to the People. This new reissue is awesome.

As a public service announcement, if you have cats and have an Easter lily in the house from last week, GET RID OF IT! Lilies are extremely poisonous to cats. We are finding that out the hard way, but the test results on our cat this afternoon look promising for no lasting kidney damage.

 

Whoa. That's a close call with kitty. We're aware of the no no plants having 2 cats. Glad all is good.

 

1) Phase Three DDH Linear Gradient (7.7% canned 2/28/24): A NEIPA from Chicago with Citra, Amarillo, & Motueka for flavors of tangerine, lime, peach, tropical melon/berries.
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)

Happy Tuesday. A Phase Three vs. Hop Butcher IPA Battle.
Neither of the two were my favorites, but both have promise. I thought this would be a good head to head of Motueka vs Sabro hop flavor. Phase Three is first with standard Citra and Amarillo, plus some Motueka. Pretty standard flavors. Not a huge fan of Amarillo. The Motueka brings some hints of sweet lime flavors, but doesn't quite develop as much as I'd hoped.
Next is Hop Butcher Blazed Green Relish with Strata and Sabro. The Sabro shows here with some green citrus, guava, pineapple, and coconut, but again the flavors don't quite develop as much as I'd hoped. Not being harsh, but complimentary as I have the highest regards for both of these breweries. Still great IPAs, but weren't my favorite. Both are good and calling a winner is hard. I think Phase Three gets the win today for how smooth and easy this goes down.

77 degrees outside and I'd rather be sitting in the Beer Garden throwing a few back as opposed to working.

In Grand Rapids MI for work, this is Cerveza Delray, an AAL from Brew Detroit. Nice lawnmower beer.

Alright - got dinner in the oven and now relaxing with a Hoponius Union while passing the 40 minutes to dinner ...

 

With success on the previous turtle pour, another Modist DOAD WCIPA can be achieved. ...Chin Chin!!

Here's a Clinton tune from 25 yrs ago remixed. I picked up their 1st CD in Ireland. It's kid friendly and fun. Perhaps @RaulMondesi and or @TheIPAHunter has heard some of this schtuff? xxoo

 

Another beauty of a day in the republic

 

That looks good,hope it tasted as good as it looked

 

Cheers!

 

Fairly easy travel day done. Home now, the RV unpacked, sitting on the side porch drinking a Zombie Dust:



A cool 62° overcast breezy afternoon as we ease our way into the evening. I’m going to spend a week or so here, putting away the Christmas decorations, and doing some minor chores. And beer drinking

Cheers from gloomy South Charleston, WV!
