Alvarado Street - Give Thanks. An 8%abv NorthFeast-Style DIPA
Many thanks @AllHopsMatter


4.08/5 rDev 0%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5
overall: 4

Canned 11/16/18.
L: Pours vibrant yellow in color. My favorite color for a NEIPA. About a finger of head with moderate lacing.
S: Mango and lemon with crackery yeast presence. Notes of black pepper as well. Slight booze presence coming off on the nose.
T: Yeast forward with a citrusy finish, leaning heavily on grapefruit. Mango and apricot on the finish, but the yeast flavor is represented throughout the entirety of the flavor duration. As I become more adjusted to the beer, flavors of orange and pineapple come out, adding more to the flavor profile.
F: Light in body and light to medium in weight. Carbonation seems slightly above average for other beers in the style. Feel is a bit thin for a beer of this abv but it is manageable. Not up to par with other Alvarado beers.
O: It's an enjoyable beer. If you like yeasty-forward ipas, this might do the trick. Those who know Alvarado beers know they have a distinct yeast profile which really works in most cases. The smell could be more pungent and the feel needs more improvement, but I am enjoying it nonetheless.

 

Whole wheat flour? I thought this was America? Communist, or worse hipster.

 

Good evening BA
Hotel beers tonight as my parents small home is overloaded with my sisters and their families

Whole wheat and white. The white's not pictured, dude.

 

Cheers!

 

I missed something but wished i did not.

 

I had a hearty steak sandwich and onion rings at a diner for dinner. Now home and enjoying one of my favorite DIPAs.

 

Whoa.

 

Miller Lite. Festive bottle. Still cleaning Christmas records.

Not a top 5 Christmas album. Not even a top 10. However, the idea of a Merle Haggard Christmas album is top 3.
Cheers, all.

 

Outside joke.

Am I the only Zach and miri / Jason mewes fan on here?

 

That's pretty much the most unexpected thing I could have imagined from you, right down to the Silpat. Bravo.

 

I don't bake much but if I do it's nice to have the right equipment.

And, thank you.

 

Other Half DDH Double Nelson Daydream. Not as good as the Vapor Ringz, but still damn good.

 

Beer #8. My last until NBS.

 

Understood. Thanks for updating me. I gotta admit, I love this thread but sometimes I get confused. Gotta say, that thanks to folks like you you keep me informed.

Wife said shrimp is ready. Sorry dude, outta here.

 

Just...wow
