What beer are you drinking now? #1725

@JouerAvecLeFeu - thank you for starting the thread before I left home! Today'sNew Breakfast Beer here in soggy NW PA is:



Decent but not overwhelming.

 

Long morning with mom...beer time...



Have a good day y'all!

 

Good morning BAs,
I decided to indulge in some hoppy sour Ale today. Luckily I had the perfect answer.
Funky Gold Mosaic by Prairie.
This has been sitting in my cellar for 6 months or more and now the sourness and funk are more pronounced.
Mouthfeel and finish on this beer is very good.
Cheers

 

Going for orange myself . . .





Surprisingly complex aroma of orange and hops with neither dominating but both entwined seamlessly. The brewer lists nine different hop varieties in this brew and I can't identify a single one but the harmony of this scent is remarkable.

Taste is exceptional managing to be both simple and complex at the same time. Darned if I know how but it is. On entry there is a sense of body more than flavor with orange present but subdued then hops so mingled with orange they present a combined flavor that still show enough separate identity to recognize both are present. I think I can identify some citrus hop characteristics, some zest and perhaps tropical fruit presenting a firm but refreshing bitterness to the finish. The aftertaste has a mild nuttiness that I suspect comes from the grain bill. Not much, just enough to notice and it's nice.

I did not taste any alcohol in the flavor and wouldn't have been aware it is 7.7% without reading the label. Also the 73 IBU is apparent only in intensity of flavor and not bitterness. Remarkable brew, very rewarding.

 

8.2% alcohol. 65 IBU.

 

Maybe mine was a bad bottle... I didn't get good flavor from this at all. Seemed to be a little sour, something seemed wrong. Pretty bummed because I've been excited to try this one after seeing a lot of rave on here about it...

 

Gettin' psyched for LockN already.

 

Hazy.

 

Morning coffee on the beach.

 

Good morning, all! A friend gave me a bottle of this Long Route Peanut Butter Porter, from Empyrean Brewing in Lincoln, NE. On the left is the unadulterated (by me) product. On the right is PBJ Porter, which I created by adding a shot of Creme de Cassis to the mug.


Onward and upward!

 

I haven't had a lunch beer in quite a while. I am fixing that today.

Gearing up to bottle some cherry saison after lunch. Drink well Advocates.

 

A beer while I do a few odds and ends around the house. It's so good to have this back in the fridge! Have yourselves a good time today......

 

Good afternoon, BAs, from Richmond, VA! Only here for a few hours, so need to be choosy about where I direct the Uber. Starting with lunch at Mekong. Pho and The Answer's Stonefruit Popsicle - peach/apricot/blood orange gose.

@vabeerguy probably knows where I'm headed next...#1 on my most-want-to-visit list...I don't mind standing in lines

 

Snake River Eclipse




Cheers!

 

One more at Mekong. The Answer's Double Raspberry Popsicle Gose.

These dudes are onto something. Very refreshing!

 

Drinking a fine pilsner beer. It says so on the can! Final day of house sitting the bro's place and digging into his stash.
