    Chandeleur Island Brewing
    Lil Smack IPA


    [​IMG]

    Hazy orange gold color with white cap and lacing.

    Aroma primarily of hops, rich scents of pineapple, mango and grapefruit with a touch of resin.

    Taste is hop forward on entry with the citrus element prominent followed by resin and malt in the background. A sense but not taste of mild sweetness. Hops lead to the finish then linger in the aftertaste.

    Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

    Overall it's a pleasing effort of hop forward IPA without apparent flaws.

    Good morning/day BAs! Took yesterday off as a cleanse day. Morning chores done, it’s coffee time - KBS:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 8/1/23. Poured at 52°. A little on the bitter roast side, otherwise bourbon and chocolate as beer continues to warm in my glass.

    Cloudy and mid 70s forecast today. I’m going through boxes of photos and ephemera in multiple folders left behind by my mom. Last night was an accordion full pics of mom and her kin from the early teens to the 1990’s.

    Night before was photos and material re: her Dad’s service aboard the USS Pasadena as an original crew member 1944 - 1945 which saw action in the Pacific. The Navy let him enlist at age 36 and his mates called him Pops.

    Cheers and have a reflective day y’all!

    G'day all!

    It is starting to snow and I welcome it.

    To "celebrate" I am drinking a Mickeys Fine Malt Liquor.

    Prost!

    Edit: Some nice lacing, eh?

    Early morning breakfast paired with a cannoli.

    Glad Florida passed Boston to win the Adams Division yesterday (No offense @mickyge - Hope your Bruins send Toronto golfing). Hoping Vegas can pass Nashville in one of the remaining meaningful NHL final games before the playoffs begin Saturday.

    Rare all sports 24 hours for me after NHL games last night with a Sox Doubleheader on tap after a likely stop at 35th Street Red Hots. Still miss Comiskey Park - The Real One. Ditto Stade Olympique, Tigers Stadium, Milwaukee County Stadium, Yankee Stadium II and Shea Stadium.

    As I plow through more folders, more coffee - FBS:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 2/21/24. Poured at 55°. Glassware courtesy of @GreenBayBA. The perfect beer to ease into an afternoon of memories and beer drinking melancholy.

    Today’s box of folders consists of cancelled checks, receipts and documents from ma’s home based jewelry business in the ‘90s, year by by year. It’s all going to the dump. I’m up to 1994…yeeesh…glad I’ve got a fridge full of beer - Cheers y’all
