    Ha. Never saw the film, but liked the song selection. Another new to me Vegas spot (Mission Control) near two other Tenaya spots, digging it. I believe my first official Smog City review, but have enjoyed a few festival short pours in the past.

    Full review linked above. WBAYDN take, this is a light and easy but full flavored Pilsner.

    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

    Pale, hazy yellow pour that appears as an opaque, pastel yellow in the glass; thick head, white and long-lasting, semi-creamy top with a softly rolling sculpted top; frothy rings and strings of foam inside the glass. Very pleasant and fresh smelling nose; tropical fruit; tangerine and grapefruit; faint hint of oats and biscuit. Nice, balanced flavor; biscuit and fresh bread; citrus pith bitterness; white grapefruit. Heavy mouthfeel; acidic.

    This is a very approachable double dry hopped hazy beer. It has the classic elements of the style but comes across a lot milder than some I've had of late. There is a certain softness and roundness to the flavor. The bitterness isn't as brash. This still wouldn't be a go-to beer for me, but I would certainly enjoy it every once in a while just for something different.

    A couple of Sips with dinner prep this evening. Randomly decided to whip up some kind of beefy cheesy mac. Turned out pretty great. :grinning:

    Cheers Lads!

    Enjoying a Woods Boss- Czech Dam Pilsner- Is it the Zuper Saazer or Hallertauer hops that gives it the bright fruity note? Or , yes, both. Can't quite define the taste. Pear, white peach, or maybe a sauvignon type grape?

    And as usual Great album covers, similar to Creed Taylor (CTI). One of my faves is the red cover from Joe Farrell Quartet.

    And the earlier Enrico Rava track is excellent.

    Oh yeah, love CTI and Joe Farrell is amazing. My favorite from him is Outback. With Elvin Jones and Chick Corea. Though you are right, the red album cover for his Quartet album is the best. Pete Turner did most of the photography for those albums, love it, cheers :beers:

    RAR Out Of Order Peach Cobbler à la Mode fruited smoothie sour, 5% ABV. Pours thick and tan with a slight head that left puree residue. Aroma is peach, cinnamon, and vanilla ice-cream. Flavor follows, plus pie crust, quite sweet, moderately sour. Excellent thick and creamy mouthfeel. Overall excellent.
