    Simcoe hops, baby. People can talk all the sh*t they want, but the GF version is better than a lot of shelf options. Now, if only they can resurrect my beloved Nelson.

    40 miles on the bike trails earned me a Zipline Lime Gose. This really hits the spot.

    I only noticed one beer tent at the Apple Festival. Bacchus Brewing Co. out of Dryden, NY.
    Had a sample of each.

    Taking a brief break from the hops with a 2016 Black Note.
    Haven't had a big stout in some time now. Wowza!

    regular version is amazing, roasty and chocolate galore, but BA version is better without a doubt. the barrel adds vanilla, whisky, oak, and enhances the mouthfeel.

    This one was canned 09/01/2016 and is still tasting pretty nicely. I'm not usually a fan of fruited IPA's, but this one isn't bad at all.

    Hunter never had Nelson, so I can't compare. I have only had GF version of all of Alpine beers and the masses say they don't do it as well.:slight_frown:

    I enjoyed Congress out of the bottle, no doubt. That said, this particular batch canned on 9/21 is giving off ripe peach skin notes. Needless to say, it's making me larrrrge. Wait... never mind. BAs who have been around long enough know what I mean. I said LARRRRGE!

    I've never been a follower. While I admit that GF can't replicate it at 100%, their Nelson variant still gives me fits and I've had the OG version. For what it's worth...

    Found this one in the back of the fridge, not exactly fresh but hasn't hit its best by date yet. Definitely lost a little bit but still good. Cheers!

    Working my way through the SA Fall Pack. The Hoppy Wheat was great. One of my favorite styles and they nailed it.

    Another Saturday afternoon at Bellefonte for me. Starting with Altfestbeir, they are saying it's somewhere between an Altbier and a Marzen, good stuff, cheers!
