SAVAGES (v2) Hints/Hauls

I would be in except for the fruited sour hint.

 

I've had one appear 3 weeks later.

 

My review.... I dont normally review so there is no format..
Poured with a nice fast clearing head, smells of tart stone fruit and funk.
some sort of sour or saison.
Tastes is not as funky as I thought, kind of sweet with that Saison yeast flavor. Very nice.
not sure if its barrel aged or not.... but I get a hint cherry.

Okay

Nice Pinot BA Saison with Peaches and Cherry. AND ITS BRETT. Normally not my favorite type of funk. However, I think the sweet peaches and tart cherry overrode the brett.
This is a mighty fine Saison... Thank you @EMH73

Paired well with the NY sopresetta (spelling) ...... Damn good.

 

Very well done, glad you enjoyed.

 

So you're saying I should be super nervous and getting ready to storm the place. Got it.

 

Target 2 has correctly called me out!

Hint #1: Both targets are west of me
Hint #2: I've shipped to one of you before (target 2), but not the other (target 1)
Hint #3: Both targets live in a state with a sportsball team from at least one of the 4 major sports (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA).
Hint #4: My wife and I took a road trip this August hitting various breweries along the way. We did NOT drive through either of my targets' home state. (Untappd: nichols33)
Hint #5: Both of my targets live in a state that produces at least one of the Top 250 BA Overall list
Hint #6: Target 1 lives west of the Mississippi River, Target 2 lives east of the Mississippi
Hint #7: Neither target resides in the Eastern Standard Time Zone
Hint #8: Both of my targets are from a state with multiple participants in this BIF
Hint #9: Both of my targets have actual humans (not cartoons) in their avatar
Hint #10: Target 2 has about 10x more UT check-ins than target 1. Both targets seem to have a nice east coast connection for Tree House.

Haul Hint: I live 45 minutes from a very popular brewery, and my wife works in the next town over from the other very popular brewery in my state. One target will get beers from both breweries, the other target will probably one get beer from one of them.
Haul Hint #2: jhavs and I share a love for a certain NorthEAST Kingdom brewery
Haul Hint #3: I went to a farm, and I heard what he said

 

@Vidblain went and did a damn thing, and dropped some MN heat on me just as the weather was starting to cool down. And the timing couldn't have been any better: I've been thirsty.

So here's the scope of damage, plenty of new ticks, a purdy new shirt, and some delicious Pearson's goodies.



Mornin Latte got pretty banged up and leaked, but I was able to salvage most of it and drank it via ziploc bag pour. Crisis averted.

This meant that technically I broke the rules, as I didnt drink the mystery beer first. That soon followed though:



It was a thin, brownish pour with a big head that dissipated quickly, leaving a decent froth to coat my mustache.

The nose was chocolatey, with a hit of something nutty but i couldn't put my finger on which kind.

The taste was mostly the same as thr nose indicated, but with a metallic note also. I was underwhelmed though not nearly to the point of drainpouring it or something else dumb like that. I guessed that it was peobably something local, but was drawing a blank as to what beer it may be or from which brewery, so I guessed and wrote in my notes that it was New Belgium 1554, probably after watching @Snrubnivek "enjoy" a pour of that gem the other day.

I couldn't have been more wrong after the unveiling. A beer version of the candy that he had sent! (And I had already consumed prior to drinking the mystery beer.)



All in all, a kickass box, and many, many thanks to @Vidblain for the porch assault! Cheers, my homey!

 

I am thinking about sending a couple of Answer crowlers to each target. If I chicken out sending Joose, I was wondering if I should send two stout crowlers to each target or two IPA crowlers, or one of each? Most of the other box will be IPAs, DIPAs, and TIPAs. Since you have a pretty good knowledge about these things and have had your share of Answer brews, any advice you can give this one BIF novice is appreciated.

Hint: @FrankenMiller is not one of my targets. I bet he is breathing a sigh of relief.

Thanks again for your help.

 

more like feeling deep seeded rage...

I would go with stouts... they are FIRE!!!

 

I'll bite, even though I struck out last time calling out @TheGent . I've been eyeing you but haven't been ready to call you out just yet. Although I know Chris has over 7k check-ins compared to my measly 700. Are you one of my senders?

 

Great hit @Vidblain!

 

Very nice @Vidblain !

 

Awesome hit @Vidblain !

 

Sweet box as usual @Vidblain

 

Beautiful hit @Vidblain ! I love seeing those Wild Mind bottles getting out into the wild.

 

Thanks. That is what I will do.

 

That leaves me out. Damn!

 

Shame--I bet you would have looked good in the panties.

 

Nice @Vidblain

 

I have not shipped via USPS but when both UPS and Fedex showed the box has stopped moving it meant it was gone. I am zero for four in this regard. The fact that USPS says it is in the network (meaning perhaps they know where it is may be) is a positive sign. They should be able to give you a delivery date.
