What beer are you drinking now? #2107

2016 Short's Spruce Pilsner

 

Isn't it considered almost blasphemy to overfill a Guinness?

 

A good morning and a good beer

 

Good morning and afternoon, BA’s.

I’m skipping my third cup of coffee for this new beer.

Cheers!







Trying to listen to these over the insanity of my daughter running around the kitchen in circles, screaming like a crazy person. I think it might be time to throw on some cartoons.

 

Man Eating Toaster a Cinnamon Toast Cruch inspired IPA coming in at 6.5%. Milk sugar is add to the beer and then dry hopped with Citra &Mosaic hops then conditioned on cinnamon and vanilla.

 

In that place I’m surprised they knew to let it settle before topping up. Tasted as expected. The big G is always a solid option in a tight spot

 

I gained a new found respect and understanding of that beer when I was in Ireland last month.

 

1 - A good solid pale ale from Melvin to start the day. Nothing too heavy... but one "made for hand to hand combat."

 

Morning tasks complete, enjoying this delightful offering from our dear friends at
Hill Farmstead
Cheers all

 

Great video! Made me smile.

 

That should be an awesome show!! Cheers

 

Is this one worth picking up?

 

If you’re asking whether or not I’d buy it again for $11.99 the answer is no. Was it good? yes. I found it rather one dimensional though with tart notes of the fruit without much more funk or wood. The fruit definitely pops though. But this is generally my assessment of their beers. More subtlety than over the top flavors.

If you like Agrestic and other fruitied Barrelworks beers and would spend the same money on them then I would tell you to get it.

 

Kids' birthday party today, some coffee to start the day.

 

I had my last one of these a week ago. Wish I had more. It is such a fantastic beer. Enjoy!
