What beer are you drinking now? #4271

Thanks for the intel. This just went on tap around the corner from me and I was curious. Sounds like it's ok but not worth a special trip. I'll hold out til the next time Pliny or Blind Pig comes around, Cheers!

 

Hardly mentioned but the one in 7 Ups with Roy Scheider deserves to be in the conversation

 

Next up: Biermanufaktur Saison Beer from Wunderkammer.

500 ml bottled June 2023.

Moderate pour yields a 5/4 inch white head over a hazy golden body with sticky lacing.

Nose of spice and citrus. Can't quite come up with the spice, but it sort of reminds me of a spice from one of my Mom's Christmas cookies; cardamom maybe?

Taste is light to medium tart with some grape coming through with a kind of citrus near the finish with again, that spice. Finish is sherry-like booze and quite delicious.

Very nice and full mouthfeel with more than medium carbonation.
Wonderful!

Overall, I've never had anything like this before and I really like it.
Cheers to Vasili for another gem!

C&P from NBW #206.

 

Came across this so I bought a single instead of the 4-pack. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the OG KBS Espresso that they released in like 2019 or whatever. This is basically the same beer. Solid, but almost too much coffee. OG better imo. If you love black coffee, you will love this

 

Yo! Another Banger....
Cheers!!!

 

Trader Joe's is a very reliable curator of wine from everywhere!

 

Sun-Kissed. A dry hopped summer ale brewed with citra and oranges. There is no mistaking the orange flavor.

 

cheers

 

What up BAs?
My last Trillium from my Father’s Day box. Cheers!

Arnold Arboretum, double dry hopped IPA

The Arnold Arboretum is a 281 acre wonderland of plants and trees and not to be missed if you are visiting Boston and totally free. They have a corpse plant there that is a big event every year when it blooms.

Okay Review 7000 at least until some more breweries go belly up Saved this beauty from @jschott75 as part of my Superbowl Squares winnings. Salud'

 

We can't get this locally at this time. I really hope we can again. I'll gladly drive an hour for this.

 

Having another one of these IPAs.

 

Other Half / Surly collab Pastriness. On paper, I won’t like it. In my mouth, it’s the best of their current 3 BA offerings. The cinnamon tastes decadent, not like a cheap sprinkle, that pulls out a sublime spiciness against the heavy base. Marshmallow, also almost always adjunct non grata, plumps up the mouthfeel just right. Plus, it’s $8 less than the current Mortalis BA Olympiodorus. I’m very upset with Mortalis lately. I’d spend my money on this, or most anyone Imprint or 903 Brewers BA drinks on the shelf locally.

 

I’m getting a sense the IPAs are not hitting the spot for you lately. Totally understandable. As always, glad you’re hanging out with us heathens.
