    Put up some chair rail nice and early. Split this with the friend who helped. 2+ year old bottle of DFH Birra Etrusca.

    One of my top favorite session IPAs. Bright grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon/orange peel, and piney hops; with some light caramel/bready malt balance and crisp/sticky finish. Always outstanding. Very flavorful for the ABV.

    A new favorite fruit wheat this year. Big watermelon, strawberry, lemon, pear, apple, and light banana/clove yeast/fruit flavor; with balanced wheat, biscuit, light honey malt sweetness. Light spicy/bitter balanced finish; moderate creaminess. Very flavorful for 4%. Still need to try the apricot version, still in the fridge.

    Finishing off the other half of the longshot pack. A nice standard tasting porter. Milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toast, toffee, brown bread, light vanilla, and herbal hops. Light-moderate herbal/roast bitter finish with a good bitter/sweet roasted flavor balance. Nicely creamy mouthfeel with light-moderate hop stickiness. Tasty and enjoyable.

    First Oracle of the year. Tasting awesome as usual. Bright grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, and pine; with light caramel/bready malt presence. Big pine/citrus rind bitterness and sticky/resinous lingering finish. Really quite dry on malt presence considering the ABV. Very smooth with minimal alcohol presence for the ABV as well. I prefer hopslam, but for pine bomb fans this absolutely delivers. Love both for different reasons.

    Leinenkugel's Original ("throwback edition" can). That's the 2006 Peoria International Beerfest tee-shirt in the background, and the souvenir sampling glass. :wink:

    Saturday mornings mean coffee beer. Coffee present still, stronger when cold, as the bourbon comes on a bit with warmth. Almost time for brunch after slowly sipping on this one.

    Celebrating my first wedding anniversary with my first ever trip to Canada. Victoria BC to be exact. It's beautiful here, but I have walked more in one day then I have the entire year so far. Walking cities are overrated. :grinning: My wife loves it though

    1) Congrats on one year!
    2) That Westbrook bomber looks like a tasty skyscraper looming over the city.

    Great beer! I tried it for first time last weekend at a beerfest, and then shortly after went out and purchased one for myself.

    I was inspired by this post to check out your YouTube review. It was the first YouTube review of yours that I've seen & clearly I've been missing out. Very thorough & thoughtful, I now feel like I need to up my reviewing 'game' :-)

    Cheers!

    Ha! Thanks man! I was going to bring a few action figures with me to take photos of around the city, but I forgot! My wife is very, very relieved. There is a collectible store I am going to check out today though so we will see what they have. :grinning:

    I had the 2010 last night and really liked it with the 5 years age. This wasn't obviously isn't as smooth, but this is fantastic.
