    It didn't miss, but nothing bad happened.
    Sun's back out.

    I've got to give a round of applause to Baxter Brewing for the 3rd Edition Bootleg Fireworks. They really packed the hops into this beast. The aroma is very dank and green with a little peach/mango coming through, taste follows suit, a little sweet at first but finishes dry. A great mouthfeel, almost creamy, tingly carbonation. By far the best release of Bootleg Fireworks yet. Don't pass this beer up if your looking for hops in Maine.

    Starting things off with a late lunch, literally. What's up, fellow advocates? I hope everyone is having a LARRRRGE Wednesday.

    Also watching Eugenie Bouchard play her first round match at Wimbledon. Damn, she is fine. I might consider giving up my IPAs for her.

    Out to lunch with a buddy. Food's decent, but I think his face says it all about the beer. :stuck_out_tongue: At least it's cheap and refreshing! Cheers!

    Actually I start about 2:30 reviewing a new beer. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the beer. Then I post it here, so 3:15 to 3:30 is about normal. So 15 minutes or so after my first post, I'm into beer numba 2!

    Much respect for taking the time to review your beers. I should put more effort into it. Cheers!

    I certainly can't speak for @tillmac62, but I've had enough beer for today.
    A couple beers after golf, the EvilTwin when I got home, then the Weyerbacher IPA. That's more than enough for me.

    I know, I'm usually done after 2-3 as well especially starting early. Only once a month I'll down a sixer in an evening, but even that is not so much fun anymore. Cheers, good evening

    Another beer as the ballgame winds down. Time to water the veggies and flowers once again as they're looking a bit wilted from the intense sunshine and low humidity. I'd rather do that than shovel snow! :slight_smile:

    For me, it's fun. It also helps to develop the palate by comparing what I taste to more experienced Beer Advocates. Try it, I think you'll enjoy reviewing.

    Not bad for a pit stop at the Grand Canyon.

    Like @Shanex said, 2 - 3 is a comfortable norm for me as well. When a "heavy" bomber gets thrown in the mix, I try to limit it to 2 that day. But sometimes...:grinning:

    The nose on this is phenomenal, and the taste follows suit. Advocates, the Hunter is thankful. Just another example of VT doing what VT does best. Let's gear up for an extra LARRRRGE 4th of July weekend.
