What beer are you drinking now? #2406

NBS BIF from @Coronaeus. Half Hours on Earth brewery. This was amazing. Lasting fluffy head retention/thick foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, pecans, bourbon, coconut, toasted oak, hay, straw, and grass; with moderate maple syrup, wheat, cracker, white bready malts; lighter notes of oaken vanilla, leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast/oak tannin spiciness, and lactic tart/tang/sourness on the finish. High carbonation, light body, and moderately crisp/clean finishing. Balanced grainy malts, lactic acid/tang, and oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing acidic/spicy/carbonated dryness; minimal pucker/astringency. Smooth, not overly lactic, 7.5%. Amazingly well rounded Brett/Bacteria/Saison yeast complexity; with great maple syrup, pecan, and bourbon barrel presence/integration; and solid pale/wheat malts against acidity. Zero residual sweetness with crisp carbonated dryness. Highly impressive for the style. Nothing overwhelming. 4.36


Cheers

 

Heater Allen Pils. Toddler napping in the background. Daddy happy.

 

Birthday Beer, BA.

Cheers!

 

I'm wicked excited that Trillium finally made a Lighthouse Series beer that pays homage to my hometown of Duxbury! So much feels right now...



Growing up in Duxbury I had many fond memories of relaxing and/or partying out on Saquish (technically it's a part of Plymouth but you need to drive ~15 minutes down Duxbury beach). It's a gorgeous place. It's like a whole other country. No electricity, just little summer cottages. Soft white sand, crystal clear waters (for NE standards at least...you can see the bottom, depending on the current, @ ~30ft of water).

Anyway, many awesome memories of this lighthouse. You even could even hear it miles away at my house if the wind blew the right way.

Mill house brewing company Grocery getter. Decent take on the NEIPA style, firmly B status IMO though.

A very, very rare shot of Ms O-Fox in a Bell's matching shirt to beer to glass pic.......

She's from Boston and would normally tell me to shove the idea up my ass.....real music.....

 

Luponic Distortion No. 12



My first go-round with this. Less than stellar. I got mostly pine water, grass, hay, bread dough, and faint mango and strong grapefruit. Maybe a hint of tangerine. It was canned 4/2, but I can't believe all the flavor would have dropped off. Bring back the glory of No. 3!! Now that was some Luponic Distortion. 3.63 out of 5.

 

LOL!!!! Cheers, man.

 

Hey BA's

Happy Thursday!

Looking forward to the long 3 day weekend after tomorrow's work.....beer me!

 

Thanks man!

 

Magnify's 4th Anniversary TIPA. I'm not sure I gave this ale its proper attention last weekend. Boy, is it intense: Dry Hopped 4 times with a combination of Citra, Mosaic, Nelson, Galaxy and Citra Cryo. It attacks the taste buds with waves of flavor.
