What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2480

Zero Gravity Cone Head Ipa, great stuff BA's.

 

Thanks @RaulMondesi for this one. Karl Strauss / Russian River - New California IPA. You put it under the wrong brewery dude. This was awesome. Great fluffy head retention/spotty foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red apple, berries, wood, mint, citrus peel/rind, green pepper, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts, sticky hops, and some resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Very smooth, nicely soft, not aggressive, minimal warming 6.5%. Awesome Pahto, Strata, Amarillo, Idaho 7, Ekuanot profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly/dank earthy hops; with a great balanced clean pale malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. Spot on west coast stuff as expected. Loved the hop profile. 4.1


Cheers

The last trip up was all clothes and stuff Mrs. Z bought during the trip; everything else can wait till tomorrow. I’m officially on relax mode - Cheers!

 

I got no move my friend. Fuck, getting off the couch is an awesome move!. I love your posts and respect your beer opinions. No bullshit, I really do. If someone wants a name to talk IPAs, you will be the one.

Speaking of Treehouse, I do miss it. Seems all my sources are drying up. I am hitting Veil tomorrow. I owe a dude a lot of beer. Check out the Veil release for tomorrow. If there are a few you want, please let me know. I will be happy to pick up a few extra and send.

 

The thing is, I’ve had a lot of not so hazy hazebois and not so crispy crispybois!

I struggle to keep up with it all, and tha’ malt likka (and a fresh keg!) keeps me sane.

 

Just had dogfish head super 8 on tap at local watering hole (Mcfauls Ironhorse tavern), ..... very refreshing slightly sweet a little sour style session. Perfect for dog days of summer.

 

It has been a Stout kind of day. Having a after dinner Peg Leg Stout which has that coffee and chocolate taste to it. I am not much of a Stout drinker so it is odd for me to have two in one day.

 

Bitburger and SN collab their Cocktoberfest.

 

Thanks @AZBeerDude72. Tombstone Bright & Juicy No. 2 NEIPA. This was awesome. Great rocky head retention/spotty soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wood, and light peppercorn/pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; very creamy, bready, grainy malts; some sticky hops, and light resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness; no cloying/astringency. Very smooth/soft,minimal warming 7.1%. Feels like Amarillo, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy. Super juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Spot on stuff. 4.1

Ended up with 6 nice fluke filets. Dry rubbed with garlic, cilantro and ginger and marinated in white wine, lemon juice, butter and teriyaki.

Chicken dry rubbed with ginger, mrs. Dash, Bay seasoning and cilantro and marinated in soy and teriyaki, red wine and lemon juice.

S’mores with the kids and Even More Jesus for dad. Not a bad day, I’d say.
