What beer are you drinking now? #1069

"Oh Freyja, it's going to be ok!!"

 

Finishers:

One of my favorite Breck beers and pale wheat ales, grabbed a random single this week. Balanced flavors of wheat, biscuit, and honey/agave maltiness; against pear/apple/light banana/clove American wheat yeast; with some herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Light balancing bitterness/yeast spice with a touch of wheat tartness after the finish. Nice smooth and wheaty creamy mouthfeel. This beer truly embodies what the style is all about, and has a ton of robust flavor for 4.2% as well. So damn good. Heavily underrated as usual for the style.


This is the best fruited Berliner weissbier I’ve ever had. Big flavors of tart/juicy raspberry, green apple, lemon, lime, pear, wheat, cracker, light white vinegar/funk, hay, straw, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Moderate acidic tartness and light peppery yeast spice on the finish; with great all around robustness and complexity of the raspberry and berliner flavors. Great balance of malt and tartness as well. Moderately acidic and light wheat creaminess in the mouthfeel. This stuff is so robust and flavorful. I still have a few bottles left, but will happily grab a few more. Can't wait for the blueberry and apricot versions.


Always excellent, glad it's back again after 3 years. I bought a full six pack last night(store was only selling singles last week, but got more in). Big flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, and toasty/biscuit malts; balanced by raisin, plum, cherry, clove, light pepper, and light banana yeast ester flavors. Very smooth and creamy finish. Nice balanced yeast spice/roast bitter finish. Seriously delicious, I hope Belgian stouts become more of a thing some day.


Always world class. Big flavors of pumpkin, gingerbread, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, brown sugar, bread crust, caramel, and light-moderate herbal spice bitterness. Fantastic spice balance/complexity with malt and pumpkin flavor; and very smooth and fairly crisp for the ABV. I keep grabbing more singles of this really often, glad it is in 12 oz now. I have mainly been drinking this, Smuttynose, and Weyerbacher imperial really frequently this year; I love all of them, but this has always been the best one to me. Elysian Great pumpkin and Night Owl are other ones I feel similarly about, but I can't get it locally. Maybe soon with the buyout and all


Cheers

 

Some Kook DIPA with dinner

 

Off Color Eille, a Biere De Miele style beer ( what ever that is ) up next. Everything I've had had from these guys have impressed me, so high hopes here!

 

Monk's Café Flemish Sour Ale - Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V.

 

Enjoying my last one of these (doing a lot of lasts lately...trying to diminish my collection for moving)



It's still a solid Witbier even since it's macro-produced.

 

Bp big eye, not bad i got a 6 and when i drank the first one i had just killed by taste buds with aguachiles (hot water) which is shrimp, onion, and cucumber in hot sauce so all i tasted was malt no hops. This time it taste good, it has what i think is a malt taste that lingers short of the end, a little weird but i like it.

 

Night cap

Foothills Brewing (NC) Barrel Aged People's Porter

4.12/5 rDev +7.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

I think I bought this for ~$8 at Chips wine and beer market in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Tastes better to me than most of the ratings on here.

 

This one goes to '11

 

That's what I was looking for!

 

Final souvenir from Alpine. Alpine Ale:
Ok, so not every beer they make is epic.

 

Nebraska: Wick for Brains


A good pumpkin ale but far from my favorite.

 

Hot Tub beer: Victory Fest, probably my last, we shall see...

 

Enjoying Péché Mortel and the new Heroes show.

 

Not deluding myself. The Fest is my last tonight. LNBA4EVER!!!

 

Bell's Oracle is quite delicious right now

Bought this in Jan, still managed to hold onto 20...hopefully I can manage to save half the case til I can overlap with a 2016 case soon! Love how I never have to worry about this losing flavor like the 99% of ipas I drink.

 

I'm pretty sure they use a different recipe now. It tastes like an American Pale Wheat Ale to me.
