What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2449

Enjoying one from @thebeers !


Lagunitas-High Westified (2016)

This has a beautiful nose, composed of dark fruit galore; raisins, dates, even figs. Then it even shows a leather-y barrel aspect.

Taste delivers more on the chocolate, coffee, rye side of things. Coffee has a very faint green pepper to it, but not much.

The mouthfeel is close to the nose on being the winner of this beer for me, for one reason; the spicy rye tingle all the way through. I love it. However, other than that, it does seem rather thin for a Barrel aged imperial stout.

Overall, this beer definitely brings me some notes and aspects that I love and chooses to mix them throughout different stages of the drinking process.

Thanks Arthur, I hope you have a great day today!

 

A NEAPA 6% and man I love starting the day with these juicy treats lately. Cheers all.

 

Have a nice Friday BA.

Incredible NEDIPA. Aromas and flavors of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, licorice, citrus peel/zest, wood, and light peppercorn/pine hops; with moderate cracker, biscuit dough, light honeyed malt sweetness; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Mild pine, citrus pee/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very creamy, silky, bready oats, light sticky hops, and minimal lingering resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Super smooth/soft, minimal warming 8.8%. Amazing Ella, Citra, Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced bready oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering bitter dryness. Definitely the best beer from them so far. Will get another pack for sure.


Cheers

 

Insane DIPA as usual. Aromas and flavors of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate honey, biscuit, light caramel/toasted malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Good sized pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malt, and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Super smooth, not overly aggressive, minimal warming 9%. Amazing classic Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, Cascade, Citra profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; great bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from lingering crisp resin dryness. Well attenuated for the ABV. One of the best west coast style DIPAs ever made, especially with having no newer hops.


Cheers

 

This stuff is rock solid, very impressive.

 

Half Brothers Classic Golden Ale

 

Fantastic TIPA as expected. Fantastic rocky head retention/thick foamy lacing for the ABV. Aromas and flavors of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate honey, caramel, toasted biscuit malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Slight booze in the aromas as it warms. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy, silky, bready malts, some sticky/resinous/rindy hops, and slight slickness in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Dangerously smooth, not overly aggressive, minimal warming 11.1%. Feels like Columbus, Citra, Simcoe. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a good sized dark/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Another amazing TIPA, did not prefer over the regular. Would buy again in Ohio.

Working up the steam to mow the lawn. This stuff is excellent!

New Local Helles. This was awesome. Fantastic fluffy head retention/spotty soapy lacing. Crystal clarity. Aromas and flavors of big cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nutty malts; with moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery hops. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation, light-medium body, and moderately crisp/clean finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts and sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Slight lingering resins. Moderate increasing bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Perfectly clean lager flavors, no fruity/yeasty notes. Very flavorful/refreshing, not aggressive, not watery for 5.5%. Awesome clean Pils/Munich malt showcase, with perfectly balanced Noble hop presence. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. Loved it as expected. Spot on style. Already grabbed another 4 pack. Great Summer brew.


Cheers

 

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July as did I... Had the family over for a bbq/pool party and it was truly a blessing.. They don't care for craft beer all they wanted too drink was budweiser ritas, corona, & margaritas and I was fine with that.. I was just happy they all came through.. Going to start with some rum barrel coconut hoping it takes me to the carribean cheers

 

Breakfast with the Baby at the beach.... cheers mates!

 

A wow factor on this one.

 

Having a Bacchus Cherry Beer. Just curious. Nice taste of real fruit in it, but a bit too sweet to me.
Cheers!
