Bierstadt Lagerhaus / Crisp Malting / The Beery Godmother -- Haná Select Lager Lager ABV: 4.3%; pouring temperature: 59.4 ℉; canning info: CRISP (Y) 03 . 13 . 26 Source: local purchase (Coaltrain Fine Wine, Craft Beer & Spirits) 4.02/5 rDev -4.1% look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4 Bright and crystal clear pour and body, pale gold color; lively carbonation; thick and sudsy head, white, lasting although it fades in size a bit. Beautiful nose; floral with gentle pome fruit esters. Taste follows the smell; clean; mellow malt backbone, delicate; low-key hop bitterness; a touch of pear and green apple in the mix; lightly juicy. Light body; smooth and slippery. I do like this beer. I look forward to trying it closer to 45 ℉ or and see if that changes any the factors like look and taste. As is, it is quite enjoyable at a higher temperature. Balanced with reasonable complexity and delivering a mildly sweet and floral sensory picture.
Postimages doesn't like me right now. Guinness extra stout bottle: sourdough cracker nose, tobacco juice finish... I dig it In the backyard of course. You northern folks getting in on this air you wear?
Had one of these last week and was wowed. 'Bout damn time. I don't buy TG beers all that often, and they're all over the place here, because much like Blackstack, their HDIPAs can be "samey" IMO, but this one is different and it kicks ass. Psuedo Alien Hazy Imp IPA. A collab with Tired Hands Brwg. Cheers!
Tree House - King Sap DIPA now, a pretty nice blend of King Julius and Sap. Light toasty caramelized bready malts, some tropical stone fruit, ripe mango, peach, orange citrus, grapefruity bubblegum, dark berries, and dank resinous earthy herbal pine sap. Real nice beer. Cheers everyone!
I closed up the haus ystrdy and switched on the A/C for 75° and it pleased the boss. I milked the cool nights in the 60s as long as poss. The humidity is what makes even 75° feel shitty, but dry out the air and happy days.
Brothership Cryo Antimatter IPA (Citra/Citra cryo). Soft and refreshing with some nice Citra character. Ripe clementine, orange creamsicle, lime zest, meyer lemon, chive, some yellow grapefruit, lemon and orange peel. A fantastic hazy IPA.
Last abandoned beer from poker night, I actually was afraid to drink it, thinking it would suck. I'm actually impressed. The pickle isn't overpowering. Refreshing. @LesDewitt4beer I tried putting that Alien Sue in my cart and was told it just went out of stock, I'll try again. Cheers.

Beautiful day off. Too much yard work to finish. I think i need to downsize after 26 years here. This is ice cold and hitting the spot. Interview with financial advisor in a bit. Trying to figure out a plan. Only music is of nature right now. Enjoy
