What beer are you drinking now? #1673

I was just about to open the thread XD stealing my thunder being 6 hours ahead and all XD Cheers bud!

 

Good morning BA's,

First weekend of my work season with a paycheck and new beers had to come along with it. Sadly The beers I'm trying today, I can't review on here until BA get around to approving my addition of a new brewery. This one comes from La Brasserie Grande Allée in Boisbriand Quebec. I really don't know much about them at all, They recently got sent out to stores around me and their Facebook page has only been active since February. This beer turned out to be 6 months old :/ I guess distribution took awhile to figure out. It had an english IPA feel but no idea if that was actually what they were going for. Anyways

IPA 1 everyone! Cheers!


Still mourning this morning!

 

Haha. I read your whole post in a Fargo accent.

 

Good morning everyone! I've already been pretty productive this morning. Washed last nights dishes and started a load of laundry.

Time to take a break and drink some delicious fruit juice...Urban Artifact Palmistry



Cheers!

I'd put my accent closer to a mix of upstate New Yorker and Californian (TV-Neutral North American) with the occasional "EH" added in for good measure! Whatever makes reading my reviews more interesting though! lol.

 

Cheers and good morning. I was going to make some lemon buttermilk pudding but I did not have any lemons. That was after I poured this beer to go with it. >< I hate the 2 mp camera on my phone so here's some grumbling about that. AND instead of lemon buttermilk pudding I made chocolate buttermilk pudding. WOn't exactly go with this beer but then again I'm not exactly gonna have it with this beer.

 

Haha! I read your whole post in a Yoda accent.

 

Call your provider and ask for an upgrade, That's what I did and I got an iPhone SE the first day it came out, 12 megapixel camera and the ability to shoot raw files. In the end though there is one saying that holds true. The best camera is the one you have on you. A good photographer will make a cheap chinese holga work and his or her images will still be awe inspiring!

 

I almost snorted my beer out my nose when I read this and the same voice came to mind! may the beer be with you sir!

 

Good morning all! Starting my day with the baby. I'll certainly try to do my part to get us to 20 today!

Cheers!

 

I did too. Haha.

 

This is the upgrade. I had a tracphone - very old no pics, old fashioned texting with only the numbers, no internet. The provider is virgin mobile and if you use assurance wireless this is a much better phone than that one. The bummer- only a 2mp camera. Otherwise I can do everything you can do. Google hangouts, voice search and texting as well as running all the common apps like wegmans and stuff. I just bought a 20 mp camera with hi def video. 12X optical zoom so I should be able to capture the expression on a deers face from a good distance away.

 

The deer's "oh shit" face right before you crash into it with your van.

 

I have a canon 360 HS which I rotate with my phone. It really just depends where I am and what I want the photo for. The canon has 1080p video and 12X optical zoom as well but can only shoot Jpeg stills. My phone can shoot raw so when I wan't the ability to "paint" my photos in lightroom and really bring out the light I use my phone. otherwise I use the Canon.

 

Good morning BA, have a great Saturday! Looking to be a nice relaxing Saturday for me, work has finally calmed down lately. I gave myself a haircut this morning because it was getting too thick and out of hand, and now I'm cold lol. Need to go get an oil change, and tidy up around the apartment as well.

Great gose! Flavors of big tart/sour lemon, lime, green apple, white grape, pear, melon, sea salt, coriander, mint, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, and light lacto funk. Moderate lactic sourness and light peppery spice on the finish. Light-medium bodied; balanced grainy wheat, lactic acid, and salinity in the mouthfeel. Very crisp, refreshing, and well balanced. This feels a lot less puckering sour than my review claims from 2 years ago, when I had the bomber. Very impressive, glad it's in cans now. Another gose to keep in the rotation!


Fantastic tripel. Just as awesome as I remember from the 750ml I reviewed 2 years ago. Flavors of big lemon, peach, pear, banana, apricot, apple, peppercorn, clove, and light bubblegum yeast; with moderate candi sugar, wheat, cracker, bready malts; herbal, floral, grassy hops and yeast earthiness. Nice sized peppery yeast spicy finish. High carbonation and medium bodied. Very crisp, prickly, and drying. Balanced grainy malt and hop/yeast stickiness in the mouthfeel. Mildly warming ABV. One of my favorite US made Tripels. I need to revisit Golden Monkey soon in 12 ounce to compare. I was surprised how well this translated into the 12 ounce format. The carbonation is pretty much the same as the 750ml. I've been on a tripel kick lately. My second favorite style, behind English Barleywines. Used to be #1.


Incredible DIPA! Flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, and pine hops; with moderate caramel/toasted bread malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Good sized pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium-plus bodied; crisp, sticky, resinous and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel. Strong increasing resin dryness, no lingering hop astringency. Still highly impressed with this, even with the new higher ABV a couple years ago. This was originally one of the first IPAs way back 6 years ago to really blow me away, and I think it still just as impressive; even though my rating numbers have shifted overall to lower scores over time. I love C hops and Simcoe any day of the week. Will grab again after I finish this pack, as long as it's fresh.


This is insane! Flavors of lightly tart blueberries, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, fudge, vanilla, toasted coconut, bourbon, oak, and dark bread; with some lighter notes of molasses, licorice, and raisins. Light roasted bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Full bodied with an amazing creamy/silky/rich mouthfeel. Some light roast malt chalkiness and fruit acidity; touch of dryness from both. Never cloyingly sweet, but definitely a dessert beer. Amazingly smooth, minimally warming 10.5%. A near perfect balance of berries, cocoa/vanilla, malt, and barrel character. Tons of flavor complexity, and it all comes together extremely well. I've always been a big fan of fruit stouts, so I'm not surprised how much I loved this one. Seems pretty polarizing to most people, but this is one of my favorites from last year. This is the 4th bomber I've had, and I have 4 more left in the cellar. I keep grabbing these randomly every time I see them. Well worth the price for me.


Cheers
