What beer are you drinking now? #1723

Another early weekend day (3am wakeup).

Victory Sour Monkey. Very refreshing and with a great sweetness/tartness ratio but I do not detect any Brett at all.

 

Good morning BA, have a great Sunday! I already took care of my usual empties a day earlier than normal, so I don't have to really go anywhere today. Made a massive pre-birthday haul of new beers yesterday afternoon. Today is that day. Will probably end up doing some OT work this afternoon.

Fantastic Gose as always. Flavors of big tart/sour cherry, lemon, lime, green apple, wheat, cracker, coriander, sea salt, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness and lightly spicy finish. Balanced cherry/lacto acidity, salinity, and light grainy wheat creaminess in the mouthfeel. Highly drinkable and refreshing, slightly puckering. One of my all time favorites in the style. I definitely drank over a case last year. Does not feel quite as lactically sour this year, but still fantastic and easier drinking. Already grabbed 3 packs, glad they are 6'ers this year.


Amazing DIPA. Flavors of peach, apricot, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pine, and peppery hops; moderate cracker, biscuit, light honey malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine/rind/spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium-plus bodied and moderately crisp; balanced sticky/resinous hops and grainy malt creaminess in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin dryness after the finish; no hop astringency. Insanely drinkable for 9%, lightly warming finish. Amazingly vibrant and dank hops; great malt backbone without being sweet or heavy feeling. Wish we got Troegs up here. I loved this last year, so I made sure to grab a 4 pack in Ohio last weekend. A tad pricy, but basicaly the same as all of the NEIPA 4 packs around here.


Last 2012 BB4D I have. Mind blowing! Still one of the top 5 beers I’ve ever had. Huge flavors of caramel, toffee, toasted marshmallow, coconut, maple syrup, molasses, raisin, plum, fig, date, brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, oak, and dark bread; with light notes of cocoa, leather, and tobacco. Minimal bitterness with some balancing bourbon/oak spiciness aginst sweetness. Very full bodied creamy, silky, velvety, slick mouthfeel. Mildly warming ABV for 13.5%, zero barrel booziness. Minimal carbonation, insanely rich and smooth sipper. With Kuhnhenn expanding their production operations, regular 4D should become much more readily available, which will be amazing. I haven't been to the brewery in a couple years.


I've had this multiple times, last being 3 years ago(revisited review). I made a decision that I would open my last one on my 30th birthday, so here it is. Bottled 7/12/2010. Incredible American barleywine! Flavors of big caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toasted brown bread, chocolate, cocoa, raisin, plum, and fig; with underlying notes of grapefruit, citrus peel, pepper, pine, coffee, leather, tobacco, nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy hops. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy hop; and light roast bitterness on the finish. Fairly full bodied bready/creamy mouthfeel; some hops stickiness and light roast malt chalkiness. Increasing bitter/roasted dryness. Never astringent. Very smooth, no warming 10.2%. Getting a touch of oxidation, but it's really hard to notice. The Sierra Nevada corks are the best. Still just as carbonated as ever, even after 7 years. Like a darker/roastier version of Bigfoot basically, but never roasty enough to feel like a stout.


Cheers



I need a new Ocean LP ASAP, hope they are working on something. One of my favorite bands.

 

Morning you all and Happy New Beer Sunday =) I am having a treat this cool morning.

 

Happy Birthday, young man!
Have a great day!

 

Happy Bday! cheers

 

So over 2 months ago we planned our huge birthdays celebrations for our children and the good lord gives us 80 and sunny all day. Thank you lord and thanks @jzeilinger for this tasty treat!

 

Good morning everyone! Old Nation M-43 N.E. IPA. It's what's for breakfast. Cheers!

These tunes are stuck in my head this AM

 

Still enjoying this one . . .



Attractive reddish brown color with small white cap.

Scent of tart cherries on a base of roasted malt. A noticeable tartness seems to rise up and cover all else.

Taste is a beautifully complex melange of tart, sour cherry, green apple and roasted malt on an oak base. This is another one that introduces with a burst of flavors that remain consistent through the finish then exiting gracefully in the aftertaste.

A Flanders Red blended from young and old (18 months) ales that have been aged in oak barrels. This process produces a complex brew that is surprisingly fresh tasting.

 

Happy Birthday! =)

 

Just so pretty ! Look at the perfect reflection in the glass =)

 

The duchess is a fine lady worth revisiting. Yum, Cheers!

 

Good morning BAs! A cross post with NBS:



Just plain nasty. Should have been a drain pour.

 

Hope it's a good one!

 

One of my favorites! Hope I have one left to take the nasty taste of Selene Saison out of my mouth!

 

'Nuff said. Cheers folks

 

Defiance Green Plains IPA

 

Uiltje Bird of Prey from tap. It’s an IPA full of citra, chinook and mosaic hops.
Cheers!

 

Happy birthday to the kids!
Enjoy the beautiful day!
