What beer are you drinking now? #2256

Nope. You're screwed.

 

I'm pretty sure he can use other people to either slow down or just crash into.

 

My last can of Other Half Blazer Hazers.

 

This is my greatest ever post. Yet, possibly my worst.

A quiet, alone time beer before all hell breaks loose.

 

While I'm not sure about your hockey skills, you appear to have won the ugly sweater contest.

 

Starting off with my first Creature Comforts. Needful Things courtesy of @JBowenGeorgia This is a very tasty beer. Thanks John.


And moving to my second Transient beer courtesy of the generous @LloydDobler This was good beer to have as well. Thank you Chris.

 

My daughter got us the premium drink package for our Christmas present. I'll certainly drink my $63 minimum everyday... cheers mates!

 

Hello Ba ... Nothing holiday season about this beer. Slightly funky aromas, mouthfeel is terrific with the mango and pineapple dominating the palate. Cheers !

 

Merry Christmas, BA!

Kane Digital Sea

Canned on 11/27 and released on 12/15





Commercial Description:

7.5% IPA brewed with a combination of British Marris Otter and American Two Row as the base, wheat, oats and a small amount of English Caramel Malt. It’s hopped with a small amount of buttering in the kettle, then dry-hopped twice during fermentation and once post fermentation with over 6lbs per barrel of Galaxy, Mosaic and Amarillo

Appearance: This beer is opaque and rather murky. Deep golden amber. An off white head that settles to a rocky ring around the edge of the glass, leaving a lot of lacing in its wake. Minute, scant bubbles working their way up alongside the glass. As a side note, I really enjoy these new Kane can designs. Started with Blue Hotel (I believe) and we have recently seen the design three times with themes of Blue, Green and Pink, along with the information strip on the side of the can. Kane has always done a nice job with mixing multiple types of fonts on its labels.

Smell: Orange and grapefruit pith citrus, over ripened, juicy mango, sweet pine. White bread and dough malt profile.

Taste: The prominent flavor profile for me is grapefruit citrus, pith, pine and green grassiness which brings bitterness to the forefront of the beer. These flavors are laid over more subtle tropical fruit including mango. Bitterness that finishes dry and crackery.

Mouthfeel: Very soft carbonation. Pretty light on the palate. Semi-dry.

Overall: This beer looks new school, but brings home the old school flavors intertwined with some tropical juicyness. I’m enjoying the beer. I put this is the West Coast IPA category due to the flavors and bitterness described above, but one could easily call this a hybrid West Coast / NEIPA. Very good stuff from Kane.

 

Notice that no skates are involved. I have no hockey skills, but I knitted the sweater myself.

 

Christmas Eve! Daughter and grandsons arriving today. One son has been here the past five days, and will leave tomorrow. Another son and his girlfriend will be here on the 26th. It's looking like a fun Christmas!
Some BCBS to get the day going.

 

15 kids? You're a brave man!
