What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2345

Back at home, finally ready to pop this Orval I picked up earlier. A little later in the day but it is still Orval Day and all.

First pour and yep... that’s Orval alright.

First rule of being a hit man is that you don’t talk about being a hit man.

 

We are cool as cool can be. Until you or I change our mind which is constant.

 

Well, this is a winter ale. Winter is almost over. I have two more to cellar after this goes away, so...sitting on my back deck with the patio heater on!

 

It appears that @Ocalafox,@@DoctorZombies and myself @scream may have faux pasd (SP) in that we intended to take a pic of us all giving @GreenBayBA an appropriate salute and post it here.

You will just have to appreciate the sentiment my friend !!

 

We’ve miraculously only lost drops so far. Though we’re now shitfaced and headed toward fist-a-cuffs to what is the correct order of goodness. Thought 2012 and 2014 are consensus best.

 

Tasting insane as usual, 10 weeks old. Aromas and flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, and pine hops; with some biscuity, light caramel/toasted malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on finish. Medium carbonation/body, and fairly crisp finishing. Sticky/resinous hops, with a fair amount of balancing bready/grainy malt creaminess in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin dryness, never astringent. Super vibrant, juicy, and dank on hops; and extremely drinkable. Amazing classic Columbus, Simcoe, Centennial profile. Will always be a top favorite Ohio IPA, along with Columbus and White Rajah. Will be going back to Ohio next weekend, so will get more.


Cheers

 

Sorry it took so long to reply... started the second season of “The OA” on Netflix and have been wrapped up in that. Food is awesome! Restaurant is called Das Schnitzel Haus in Parma. Food-wise, it’s better than The Hofbräuhaus in downtown CLE. Best part is it’s walking distance from my house.

 

Some hipsters, a unique blend here of Trustafarians, elite rich "beautiful people" and complete inbred redneck trash.

 

Just sat through "The Meg".

2018 vintage.

It's bad enough to see all the pics of this beer, then to read one of your reviews makes it that much worse knowing I can't get any of their beer.

 

Always a plus when you can walk to drink and eat.

 

Today's meet was only awesome because you were there. Thanks so much for making the effort to come this far. I hope we can do it again another time And, beer aside, I believe that your wife is a very nice person as well great meeting you both !! Cheers !

 

Chilling on Budweiser's right now...
Haven't decided if I want to review a few more brews tonight or not...

 

Blushing Monk for the wife. 2015 Expedition for me. New Hallmark movie for us both, right @russpowell!

 

Coconut PM Dawn. Dam fine stout.

 

A new porter for me,heavy on smoke and ash flavor but still very good

 

Not an Orvalle, but not too shabby. It is drinking very nicely despite it’s abundant availability, cheers!

 

OMG, so did I! It was sooooo bad! Dwight will never be a bad ass.
