What beer are you drinking now? #4932

I enjoy this less with each sip. WTF is an imperial sour? There's no info on the can.

EDIT: Untappd says this is a 13.9% beer. It doesn't taste 13.9%. Will be able to better determine the truthiness of that after the next beer. If I go to bed early, it's definitely 13.9.

 

That wouldn’t be Lake Elmo.

 

House looks like it has some good bones . Bet there is some nice wood flooring under the carpet upstairs. looks like maple on the 1st floor.

 

Nope. West close to the MN River...

Another tremendous rendition of German style beer from Bierstadt - Slow Pour Pils 4.7%. And, a much fresher version than I had previously - 2/26/26 canned on date. This draft version must be heavenly. Prost!

 

Took the driveshaft out of the Fox body today to get the u-joints replaced with new Spicer ones, Jai Alai for refreshment.

 

1) Drekker Good Company Helles (4.8%): A Helles lager from North Dakota with flavors of grains, yeast, bread, faint honey.
versus
2) Hofbrauhaus Helles Lager (4.9%): A German Helles lager with flavors of bread, honey, earth. (Correctly matched the two blind)

Helles Lager battle. First is Drekker. Some nice subtle honey tones here, but overall drinks clean. Next Hofbrauhaus. More Munich malt and honey here. More complexity and smoothness overall.
Winner: Hofbrauhaus Helles Lager

 

Tree House - Shiny now, a pretty unique and tasty flavor profile. Cheers!

 

Checking out a cool little outdoor beer garden. This is Bunny Hop IPA from 1718
Cheers!

 

3 mile walk, $2 draft Tuesday here. Today I started out with Big Grove Easy Eddy IPA and transitioned into some Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue's. Cheers!

 

First one went quick. Next up Cruisin’ in my 64 WCIPA
Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

Trois Pistoles, a Belgian Dark Strong from Unibroue

A favourite style from a favourite brewer.

 

So, yeah, that imperial sour is really 13.9%

This sounds odd but really works.

 

#2 on the clock ba,

 

How do you sample these? Do you pour both and switch back and forth, or do you sample one then the other?
