What beer are you drinking now? #2239

TGIF

 

Beautiful morning for a walk with the dogs, 53degrees and sunny...now for my coffee:



Some last minute errands to run, including a trip to the vet, otherwise I hope to finish my fridge cleaning project today.

Have a great Friday y’all!

 

Good morning BA
Off work for four days and prepping for a nap with this...

Super Hoppy Holidays indeed! I can feel all 99 IBU on this one. Cheers all!

 

Morning BA

 

It's going to be a long three day weekend. Better start it right.

 

This week I've been "cleaning out" the fridge and drinking anything that I've had for multiple months, and this one happened to to be a remnant of my August trip to Southern Maine: Evolution Craft Brewing Co. (Salisbury, MD) Lot #3 IPA

This one is in typical New England IPA fashion - Hazy and juicy hop dominated flavour profile. As overdone as some people think it may be, this is the kind of beer that I never really get tired of drinking. It's well balanced with great flavour - no face puckering hop bombs to be found here. Cheers BA's and Happy Friday!

 

Good morning BA! I have the day off, but I have a lot of cleaning and other chores to do around the house today. I figured I should start off with a nice breakfast.

 

Good morning, all! Timothy Taylor Landlord finally showed up here in the Cedar Valley. Now, this might not be earth-shaking news to most folks, but I'd been looking for it for quite a while. I used to have one and I'd been dying to try it, so I took it to a share a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, we never got around to it and I left it at a friend's house. He assured me later that it was delicious. After trying it for myself, I concur. Biscuit, caramel, and honey, with floral overtones, notes of fruity yeast and grassy hops, and a pleasantly bitter finish. I think it'd be a great table beer. Cheers!

 

Another oldie from 09/20/16 while I watch a documentary on the events of 77 years ago. Take a moment today to remember....

 

Got home from dropping the kids off at school and the extremely stressed out Mrs was laying on the couch, saying to me "I have a headache. Please wake me up in an hour."

So I did what any smart husband would do. Went downstairs to his bar, drank more beer, and watched whatever TV I wanted to in the time allowed (plus ten or fifteen minutes).

If there is anybody else on this thread who enjoys Japanese pro wrestling or Japanese heavy metal, please beer message me, just so I know I am not alone.

 

RIP, Pete Shelley.

 

A recent introduction purposed to help victims of Hurricane Michael, our distributor says it will become a regular.




Bright, clear light gold color with white cap and lacing.

Aroma of soft grain with floral hops.

Taste of clean, light grain, mostly malt with perhaps some other grain as well. I would say more bread than cereal like. Very low hop presence, less than in the scent actually. Perhaps a touch of sweetness in the surprisingly creamy body. Fairly simple in it's approach it's still quite tasty.

Texture is somewhat creamy with a medium full body.

My overall impression is that of a highly refined AAL which is perhaps what it is
