    In between drinks. No post. Just from a flash.

    A fair IPA - Lift Bridge's 'Hop Dish' (thanks @MNChristine for the beer)



    3.44/5 rDev -13.1%
    look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5

    Excellent deep golden color to the body; thick, frothy, sticky head. Not much aroma; some sweet grainy notes but nothing as far as hops. Decent flavor; bready malt with some pine-like hop bitterness. Medium-heavy body; coarse and prickly on the palate; sticky sweetness with a dry finish.

    A so-so IPA with an unknown canning or brewing date (nothing on the can). The appearance is the highlight, the lack of any appreciable hop nose the low. Otherwise, the taste and mouthfeel are respectable.

    First review as usual. This was insane! Fantastic head retention/thick soapy lacing for a sour. Aromas and flavors of huge juicy/sour/tart/tangy pineapples, mango, melon, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, raspberry, strawberry, peach, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, and grass; with moderate honey, candi sugar, wheat, white bread dough malt sweetness; lighter notes of oaken vanilla, pepper, leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit/wine tang, and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy/bready malts; some lactic acid, fruit/wine tang, and oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing acid/tangy/tannin dryness; zero puckering sourness. Dangerously smooth, not overly lactic, minimal warming 8.5%. Amazing balance of juicy/jammy fruit, Brett/Bacteria complexity, and bready malts; with perfect wine barrel integration. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A bit more malty than some others, but this was the best one so far. All Arclight sours have been consistently amazing so far. Still have a couple more in the fridge. 4.5

    Reading through the posts I knew you had said something I wanted to comment on, just took me a bit to find it. Brought to mind a music site I play on w a thread called- "Geriatric post *****s and their ever expanding list of ailments".Old is two things, one the body, and second the mind. Keep on keeping on my friend !

    Glad to see that I was part of the HopSlam party today. I actually enjoyed mine; the booze seemed way toned down, as did the honey, and it was just a damn smooth offering. Downshifting here though, BA’s. Taps The American Cream - bottle to dome:

    Yet another great DIPA from Collective Arts! Oh so crushable for 8%! Simply dangerous. They've always been a great brewery, but lately they've gotten even better.
    @DoctorZombies and @Ocalafox , it should please you to know that Collective Arts has recently started distributing to Florida. I'm not sure what all stores they're available at, but I've seen on Instagram that they've been received at FR Bottle Shop (previously Craft Beer Cellar) in Brandon, The Beer Rev in Lakeland, and Craft Beer City in Jupiter. It might be something to look into.
