What beer are you drinking now? #2392

So many great beers in this thread today. I'm now onto revisiting a beer I haven't had for at least three years. Wipeout was one of the first IPAs I've ever had, and it still retains all of its old-school characteristics. Great revisit that really makes you think about how much this style has changed in the last 3, 5, 10, X years. Cheers!

 

Amazing as usual. Flavors of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, biscuit, light honeyed malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced bready/grainy malt and sticky/resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Crisp/drying finish and never astringent on bitterness. Amazing juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop profile; with a clean pale malt backbone. Refreshingly drinkable for an IPA even at 7.7%. Mosaic and Equinox hops are my favorite of all time. They have been changing around the hops every year; but as long as those two stay, I don't care much. Holding up perfectly well for 6 months old. last one I had, looking forward to Born Again this month. Still plenty Waldos around as well.


Cheers

Weird. But cool.

 

Are you done Mike? I think so. One more drink would be cool.

 

Back home now and enjoying numero-el-two-o Olde School...



Earlier this evening, Unicorns Driving Army Tanks IPA direct from the source. This was a dank hop bomb stuffed with Citra hops:

Dude, give the rest of us mere beer mortals a chance. Put out just one bad review or song clip so we can say that mfer don't know everything. Just kidding, you are where you are and I learn every time I read your reviews or follow up on a band you rep. Cheers!

Prairie Oh Fudge!

 

Fantastic. Aromas and flavors of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, maple syrup, cinnamon, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, and toasted dark bread; with lighter notes of smoke, char, dark fruit, herbal/grassy/peppery hops, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery hops/spice; and roast/char bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, bready malts; some sticky spice, chalky char/roast, and light slickness in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing hop/char bitter dryness, no cloying/acrid/astringency. Very smooth, minimal warming 8.3%. Great balance of rich dark/black/roast malts, maple syrup, spices, and earthy hops. Would have preferred the bitterness toned down to be more dessert-like. Pretty much identical to Pigeon Hill YMOFT, if it were lower in ABV. Great base style example as usual. Loved the BBA equally; was richer and less bitter from the barrels/high ABV. Glad this is year round otherwise. This batch is a bit better than I remember.


Cheers

 

Having a couple from Night Shift tonight... started with Craigerator.



Then moved onto Night Lite... fun coincidence, @The-Adjunct-Hippie tried his today too. I liked it, maybe not as much as he did but I believe it's a lager and I much prefer ales. Still, compared to the macro swill that my coworkers drink, this was a big step above. I work with a guy who brags that he can drink a 30 pack of Coors Light in a day. I said "But do you even get a buzz?" He kind of looked sad and said "No." So what's the point?

 

Happy Thursday LNBA

Opened up a Carton- Hook

I'm going to drink a few of these tonight

 

What's that ??

 

Dilly Dilly

 

One-and-done for me tonight, BAs...Burst from Fox Farm...this one's teeming with creamy peach and prickly hop resin...soft and incredibly well-bodied on the palate; the good stuff I've come to expect from these guys. Cheers, LNBAs!
