What beer are you drinking now? #820

Found the first founders beer I actually like!

 

New Belgium: Hop kitchen #7 Hop The Pond


The Dallas Stars beat the Blackhawks, for the Stars second win in as many nights! It's a minor miracle.

 

NBS X-Post! First round of the BIF beers from @ZebraCakez. I've got a lot to go through.

A nice milk stout. Nice appearance, head stuck around and left some nice webby lacing down as you drink it. The aromas were huge with coffee and dark chocolate notes with some toast and light charred notes as well. Taste of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, cream, and light char. Light amount of roasted bitterness on the finish. Good balance of the bitterness/sweetness of roasted malt flavors. Robustness of flavor was lacking, but still tasty in malt profile. Very smooth and fairly creamy finish. The is a fair amount of dryness on the finish as well. Overall nice and enjoyable, could have used a bit more robust flavor and body for a sweet stout. This seems to be more in the realm of a dry stout in character.


This is a damn good pale lager. Nice aromas with bright grapefruit, lemon zest, and orange peel with some light-moderate pale malt and herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Taste of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, cracker, bread, light pine, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. A light herbal/grassy bitterness is present on the finish. Nice bright hop flavors and light-moderate pale malt balance, never really feels watery either. A really good amount of dryness is present on the finish. Very smooth and crisp finish with a bit of breadiness in the mouthfeel from the munich malt. Unbelievably clean lagering, absolutely zero yeast earthiness. So delicious and clean with nice hop flavors. No complaints at all.


Very nice red ale. Really nice aromas with bright and juicy citrus/tropical hop notes with moderate caramel, toast, and light toffee malt sweetness. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, and pine with moderate malt sweetness of caramel, toast, brown sugar, and light toffee. Light-moderate amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish. Some really nice juicy hop and malt complexity all around; well balanced bitterness and malt sweetness. Very smooth and fairly creamy mouthfeel with some light hop stickiness. Really tasty stuff, they did well in balancing the hop and malt flavors while still keeping the bitterness tame.


Figured I should hit the IPA first of the Buzzards Bombers. Very nice IPA, very east coast style going on of course. Nice and pleasant aromas consisting of nice citrus and pine with some light caramel and toasted bread malt presence with a nice herbal/grassy earthy hop character as well. Taste of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, anbd herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Good amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish. Some nice hop complexity consisting of citrus and earthy herbal qualities with moderate malt presence. Nicely balanced malt and bitterness. Fairly crisp and sticky mouthfeel and finish. Very enjoyable IPA. Spot on to the east coast style.


Cheers

 

This is definitely better than Heady Topper. I can only imagine if this was fresh...

 

Found an Omnipollo beer! This only happens once in a blue moon, so I had to grab it. Love this brewery.

 

It looks like Icemegedon is finally over. I threw some salt down the walkway, stairs and driveway.
Trying this one for the first time. (It is NBS)
Thanks for the hookup @CTBEERGURU
