    I think the photo is an accurate representation of color contrast. Spaten has slight sulfur in the nose (my preference), BP has the sticky sweetness. Longfin also has a residiual honey in the mouthful and slightly more perceived bitterness. Drier and thicker as well. The BP is solid and a nice American rendition. However, this comparison allows me to appreciate Spaten even more - bready and clean, no cloying characteristics, delicious to the end. Both bottles are dated late May/early June so I am satisfied with freshness. Cheers!

    Great head-to-head! Nice job on the pic, too - really gives you a sense of one vs the other. :-)

    G' Afternoon ya'all! The wife has her Traditions training at Disney today so it's just me an' the kids. So you know what that means...Every man for himself! :grinning: LOL
    Anyway, returned some items at Lowe's that we didn't need and went to 2 local liquor/beer stops.
    Wine Regions and ABC Wine & Liquor. Had a nice little haul between the 2 stores, too! I know @jzeilinger wrong thread, well that's just T.S. mah brutha! I posted in the Haul thread too!

    Really tasty beer! That blood orange really comes through on the end. Not that 7.0% is high, but this could get dangerous..soooo good!






    (I am not a Jethro Tull fan AT ALL, however this tune is really great. Plus that Grammy BS back in '88 still bothers me, not that Ian had anything to do with it, but still...)

    Cheers Big Ears!

    It really is a great beer! It was a wise move to start selling it in 4 packs!

    "working" from home today... new beer at the local shoppe. had to try one out of the sixer as soon as it was chilled enough.

    getting more oak than bourbon... maybe it needs to warm a bit. I seem to recall not being overly impressed when this cam out in the "variety bomber" gift pack last year as well.

    But, c'est la beer. also picked up Choklat Oranj to try as well. Maybe that will be today's winner!

    And with talk of more Dead shows on the east coast... 2015 keeps getting better! And these "obstructed view" seats look amazing!



    Cheers!

    I can't believe I missed #1000! Anyway, got off work early and am enjoying an Easy Jack while I brew up a second trial of my Chinook/Citra IPA.

    Same ol' same ol' ... I'm afraid I'm going to be drinking nothing new or different all week, so the least I can do is use interesting filters to match the beers. This is still one of my all time favs, it goes down so smooth. Even when it's cloudy outside :slight_frown: Here's an obscure band that Billy Corgan started and ended:

    Also from my PA trip a couple of weeks ago. My daughter had gotten these for me before I arrived, not real fresh but gave her a big hug for the effort.
