What beer are you drinking now? #2063

Hop Butcher Blazed Orange Milkshake DIPA. This tops regular Blazed Orange as my favorite Hop Butcher beer. Straight up orange dreamsicle. Cheers!

 

Just drowning my sorrows tonight listening to Joy Division with my almost 14 year old pup.

I am putting her down tomorrow as she is in bad shape with cancer. I got her on my birthday at around 8 weeks old and she has been an amazing dog. Loved by all and so good with all the kids. Have had a bunch of friends come by to say goodbye and it's hard.

Starting with this amazing beer and where it goes next I don't know.

Enjoy

 

Santa Fe Happy Camper IPA

 

Last one of these...hope I stumble across more in my travels:



Probably my swan song for the evening. Cheers BAs!

 

@oach's Whamy! from the tap.

 

I'll raise my glass to your pup. I know my dogs make me feel so lucky. Here's to your sweet girl!

 

So sad...what a beautiful pup. Chin up and Cheers to you and your dog.

 

In perpetuity. Cheers

 

This beer is so damned smooth it’s not funny. 8.8%. It’s almost too smooth, if that’s possible. A really good beer. Good night all. (Probably)

 

Number tres. - Starting to feel like little David slaying the hoppy good Giant.





Prost!

 

Unbelievably sorry to hear this. Toughest shit to go through.

 

@oach is sharing the last of these that he had received recently.

 

Great fruit beer! Aromas and flavors of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy raspberry, blueberry, cherry, fruit skin, melon, citrus zest, and red grape/wine; with balanced wheat, cracker, biscuit dough malts; light herbal/grassy hops and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, citrus peel bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; very creamy/bready/grainy malt mouthfeel; fair amount of fruit acidity/tang/tannins, and light sticky hops. Lightly increasing tart/bitter dryness. Very flavorful/refreshing, 5.9%. Absolutely delicious. Awesome jammy berry flavors, with balanced bready malts. Never overly sweet. Glad I got a 6 pack, would do it again easily. Another go-to in my fruit beer lineup.


Still tasting fantastic. Better than I remember this year, I had to redo my entire review. Aromas and flavors of huge bright tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, coconut, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, and pine hops; with some honey, bready malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Good amount of pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body, and moderately crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/grainy malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Moderately increasing lingering bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Aggressive, yet smooth drinking. Minimal warming 9.1%. Amazing dank, vibrant, and juicy hop complexity; nice solid pale malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. Short's IPAs always hold up extremely well with a bit of time in my experience. Almost at 6 months now.


Cheers

 

Hang in there. Sometimes the right decision is the toughest decision.

 

Love this stuff!

 

This is a beautiful, unique beer...I'm real lucky to have had a couple of these sent my way.



I love albums that hit you with a 1 2 punch to start shit off...like this...

Round 2 at The Old Globe. Karl Strauss Aurora Hoppyalis IPA. Cheers BA!

 

So I think this is my official review. If you are sober as a judge this beer is ok. After you have had a few this beer is delightful.
