What beer are you drinking now? #2148

Most places will or least ask if you want it. We have a few solid Chicago style places that won't but for the kids they offer it or give you a packet.

 

Been a rough week- Tough work days, sick son, and a rocky back to school adjustment for our daughter. Absolutely time for some refreshments.

Currently enjoying this:





Cheers BAs!

 

Yeah, man, thanks for reminding me. I'm on it!

A clean drinking tasty lager from Station 26. The 303 is a reference to the the Denver area code. Yeah, very original. Coming up with beer names must be a fun job these days?

 

I was joking, I know the state of Chicagoland in AZ.

I bet there's more Chicagoland transplants in Arizona than there is native Arizonians, or whatever.

Get in touch with the best hot dog joint. I'll start sending down Vienna and Rosen's. We'll get rich.

 

Excellent gose! Aromas and flavors of big lightly tart limes, lemon, citrus zest, orange, peach, pear, red/green apple, melon, white wine, sea salt, hay, straw, and grass; with moderate agave, wheat, cracker, white bread malt balance; light lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness on the finish. Medium carbonation, light-medium body, and moderately crisp/clean finishing. Bready/grainy wheat, some lactic acid, and light salinity in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing acidic dryness, no puckering. Very flavorful/refreshing, 4.9%; never watery at all. Not overly lactic or salty. Love this as expected, spot on style. Just as great as the prickly pear was. Really great lime vibrancy and balanced Lacto complexity; nice malt/agave backbone against acidity. Another summer go-to.


Vivant NEIPA. Very nice stuff. Great head retention/lacing on the glass. Flavors of big lemon, mandarin orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with moderate wheat, biscuit dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Similar/muted aromas, a bit more yeasty. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; creamy/bready/grainy malts, and light sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness. Very smooth/soft feel, minimal warming 6.3%. Great Mosaic/El Dorado profile. Very juicy and lightly dank/earthy hop complexity; great wheat/oat/malt balance. Mild lingering sweetness. Not nearly as impressive as Secret Rituals was, but this is still spot on for the style attempt.


Cheers

 

Dude, that's 4 different BA's in Kettlehead in 3 days....

 

It's the Bermuda Triangle, that Kettlehead joint.

I heard Amelia Earhart drank her last drank there.

 

I'm glad I escaped, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to return to FL tomorrow and be in the path of the next four hurricanes....

Seems to be a theme here. A young guy thing.

Dude, have a good weekend. Stay safe. Do not drink and drive.

 

This was a little bit of a gusher but I was ready poured it over the sink.

 

Oh damn, this good.

Just Dude it.

 

The temperature is perfect for porch time, so I am spending it with some of "Daddy's chocolate milk."

This is a celebration brew for the Eagles winning Super Bowl 52. While not an Eagles fan, nothing wrong with acknowledging a great year for them.. and it's beer!

The front and middle of this are as advertised.. tropical, fruity, juicy even. The back is a little on the odd side. Something hangs in (not bitterness).. and it gets a little.. salty? Anyway.. it's not a bad beer at 5.2% and I have another one left for my son-in-law. The Eagles are his team.
