    The Lord help me....I just finished this bomber all by myself. At 10% ABV, and undoubtedly an obscenely massive amount of hops, this beer totally destroyed my palate, and with it, any sense of taste. But....I couldn't help it. Smells juicy, tastes like candy (atleast initially), and then pure hop juice, in an oh so good way. What's in your glass? Cheers!

    This was interesting! It totally wasted me, but it was much tastier than I expected.

    Buddy came back from VT with this in the cooler. Packed in fresh vermont snow from up there. Off work today, figured this would make a good start. Haven't had one for a year or so. Good as always.

    Please tell me you didn't drink this by yourself at 9:51am?? That would wreck me. Such a delicious treat!

    After a few days of big ABV beers I decided to take it easy with one of these.

    Fruity, citrusy hops with a light crackery backbone. Nothing fancy, but still very tasty and with the low ABV I could easily drink a few of these.

    Haven't listened to Maiden in forever, but this is a great song, from maybe my favorite album of theirs:


    Cheers BA's!

    First glass of my most recent homebrew batch. A session APA. A little cloudy but the taste and ABV is spot on!

    Hit up Wanderlust or Mother Road in Flagstaff if you can, they don't get enough love and they have some damn good brews!

    I love the spring time. All the Stouts are in bloom...

    Although I have missed the Black Note "blossom" while I was out of the country... anyone interested in hooking a BA up? Make it worth your while!

    Cheers!
