Do dishes, or go camping? I chose both.

 

Carton Hoppun - their debut APA - Must try!
4.46/5 rDev 0%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

I've enjoyed this 3x at the Brewery. In dress beta in late July, on 8/1/14 cold, on 8/2/14 on cask. Wow!
Augie Carton said he would wait to experiment with his talented team before brewing Carton's own APA, and wait until their anniversary they did. The team has nailed a national best beer. You must try it.

As the brewer wrote: "We push around experimental hops 06300 and HBC342 with Super Galena and Mosaic, soften the edges with a traditional pale malt bill and then tie it all together with the fruity esters of British yeast." and recorded:

My go-to beers are hoppy APAs (e.g. Dales, Stone, Sierra Nevada).
A: Darker than expected, a brooding apricot, dense looking, with ample retention and lacing.
S: A big nose packed full of complex berry, grass, hay, summer, and piney hops. Nuanced and wine-like.
The blueberry is easy to pick out.
T: Amply hoppy but well balanced, and this regard it maybe beats an IPA. Wine like long finish. Plenty of malt and sweet yeast make this almost a Euro-influenced beer. Complex like a Belgian.
MF: light to med bodied, fresh, and a long finish in the good way carton knows how to do it.

Overall. An APA ready for national stage.

Serving type: on-tap

Luckily, one of your new locals will be La Cumbre!

 

So a clever mixture of fresh ground coffee and stout. Nice!

 

BRUTE!

 

A gift from a generous pal. Vacation is a good enough excuse to down some Mexican Cake. Cheers all.

I like this album! Never had these brews though.

 

within the past few hours...

Finished a growler of Troeg's Scratch 155, then nursed a 12 oz bottle of Founders Triple IPA for a while; a small glass of homebrew IPA; now for a night cap of burbon. good night everybody, may your days be clear and your nights be clearer.
