What beer are you drinking now? #2139

Sticking with Tree House today

 

But it has great can art like ZD.

 

Seems to be the consensus! I’m not sure why this particular one was so low. Like I said most of the variants I’ve seen were anywhere from 30-40 so this was a no brainer for me! $21.77 tax included. Don’t expect them to last long on the shelf at that either.

 

New Roak milkshake sour. This was excellent. Nice head retention and lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of lightly tart/tangy oranges, lemon, lime, citrus zest, peach, pear, red/green apple, melon, white grape, hay, straw, and grass; with moderate vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough sweetness; light lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Very mild fruity/lactic tartness and fruit tang on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very creamy/silky wheat/lactose mouthfeel; light lactic acid and fruit tang. Slightly increasing acidic/tangy fruit dryness. No pucker. Super refreshing, 5%. No complaints, they got it nailed down. Great balance of Lacto, oranges, vanilla, lactose, and pale/wheat malts. Great summer beer, as was the intention. On par with the Odd Side ones.


Omnipollo Oaxaca. This was excellent as expected. Aromas and flavors of big juicy mango, grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, and pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, biscuit dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing lingering bitter dryness, minimal hop astringency. Very smooth, not overly aggressive, 6.5%. Was expecting NEIPA stuff, but this was still delicious. No vanilla/lactose noticeable. Great balanced mix of juicy, dank, and earthy hops/fruit; nice pale/oat/wheat malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. Mosaic, Simcoe, Galaxy, Azacca hops maybe.


Cheers

 

Having my other bottle of Anti-Matter...

Such good shit...

Cheers...

 

True. A friendly price point too like the old days of Dust at 10 bucks a sixer.

 

Double beer mail probably killed it. Many said they like more than DMN. I enjoyed it.

And for the record ya'll, I didn't send it

 

Dust is still worth it. I drank a can of Pseudo Sue last night and I still think ZD is the best APA I've ever had.

 

Stoudt’s Karnival Kolsch up next-

 

Sante Fe's Oktoberfest.

When I first opened my first can of this, I never thought I was making it through the sixer. Now that I am on my last of the sixer, I actually thought about grabbing another sixer. Then I saw La Cumbre will be releasing their Oktoberfest on Friday...and plans changed. Going La Cumbre for the next round.

 

There were a few near Powers that were decent/good when I lived there ( 04-09 ), but based on my last visit; I'd say they have gone to shit...

 

Stone Woot Stout. I do believe this to Ms Ronstadt's Finest Vocal Effort



This would be my second choice

 

Okay, I'm in New Jersey drinking beer with my nephew no pics. We started with Fiddlehead Rarefied Air, moved on to Song of Joy from Hill Farmstead, Nelson IPA from Hill Farmstead, Make the Cut "Our Saving Grace" from The Homebrew Competition followed by Plush from Frost. Saved the best one of the night for last: a 750 growler of Hill Farmstead Double Galaxy. Cheers!!!

 

She had lots of good ones. One of my favorite.

 

Fantastic as usual. Flavors of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, cream, toffee, dark bread, marshmallow, and light coffee. Light balancing roast bitterness against sweetness; with an amazing creamy/silky/velvety medium body; light touch of sticky/chalky roast character and dryness. Glad it was easier to find last year. Definitely my top favorite coconut beer, but there are plenty others I buy more often. Wish this was year round. I bought a full case worth of 4 packs this year. Still have some left to hold me over til November or whenever the new batch comes around.


Outstanding stuff! Aromas and flavors of big juicy/tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, nuttiness, and dark bread; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, smoke, char, tobacco, and herbal hop. Light herbal/roast/char bitterness and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, bready, and rich mouthfeel that is amazing. Light slickness, sticky hops, chalky roast, fruit tang/acidity, and increasing dryness. No cloying/acrid flavors. Mildly increasing warmth of 9%, dangerously smooth sipping. Wow, was a huge fan for sure. Amazingly rich and well rounded imperial stout malt complexity; great balance of cherries, without being overwhelming. Nice oak presence, not overly tart or bitter. They really nailed this. Still some available on the shelf. Enjoyed this equally as much as the BBA version. Will keep grabbing more while I still can.


Cheers
