Creature Comforts Tritonia Gose with Pineapple and Lemon

Cheers!

 

Good afternoon BAs!

Drinking Brugge Tripel, which easily compare and compete with Westmalle, Karmeliet or Gouden Carolus in the style. A very refreshing and rich Triple.

 

Fourpeaks' Peach Ale



3.34/5 rDev -7.5%
look: 2.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25

Pale yellow body; lively carbonation but no lasting head. Nice smell blending biscuit and peach scents. Water flavor infused with delicate peach; lightly sweet; very little bitterness. Medium-light body; water and slick; semi-sweet feel throughout.

Not much of a beer to get excited about. The peach element is there and not at all overbearing or intrusive. The problem is there is little else to the beer. It would probably appeal to someone looking for a light, slightly fruity, easy drinking hot weather beer.

My neighbor Tactical Bob brought this to me after a recent trip to TX and AZ. I don't know if this is his idea of a joke, thinking that I like/drink fruity beers (I generally won't have anything to do with them with the exception of some sours and farmhouse/saison beers).

And here I just shared my last bottle of Pliny the Elder when he brought a mix six over...

An easy drain pour.

 

Hubbard's Cave Fresh IIPA V26



3.81/5 rDev 0%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Hazy, peach-like hue to the body; thick, lasting head; frothy. Light citrus aroma; grapefruit and orange. Biscuit and intense bitterness are the core tastes; citrus rind. Heavy body; dense and velvety on the palate; very dry mouthfeel throughout.

This beer delivers a strong hop bitterness smack to the taste buds. Maybe a bit one-sided with the bitterness, but some of us appreciate a good tongue-ripping IPA.

A true antidote to the peach ale I just drain poured. And, ironically, the type of beer my neighbor Tactical Bob would kill for and, usually, love to share.

 

Chimay Brune; which is... quite heavy and better drank at the beginning of a drinking session. It’s an excellent beer, no doubt about it but I wouldn’t challenge anyone of drinking 5 in a row.
