    Good morning BA
    A serendipitous pour this morning...
    [​IMG]
    I've collected beer glasses for years and it's always fun for me to match a beer and glass. I've had this thrift store glass for years and even Googled the name to find it was an obscure Bavarian brewery. Well, the last Helles in the Costco box turned out to be a match. Maybe @Lingenbrau or @BeerVikingSailor can relate. Maybe my glassware obsession is out of control.

    Cheers all and enjoy the beer in your glass today!

    Good morning BAs and cheers @jkblr for starting today’s thread...

    Westmalle Dubbel, a classic no doubt...

    Mornin' advocates. A little fresh Hyperlink IPA from Cerebral, straight to the dome.
    What's in your glass today? Cheers... lovely snowfall we're enjoying right now.

    CANgrats to a great trader, @jkblr for a) starting today's thread & b) for finding a match to his glass! I also have one of those glasses, but not one of those CANned beers. 8=( Further, since I did not realize that today's theme was matching beer & glassware (thanks a LOT @Shanex ) ;=)

    I forged ahead in my usual inimitable fashion, beginning the day with a one-year old:

    I CAN only hope that the link works as this was an add-on review to my original CANQuest (tm) review. The historic scores were NOT changed.

    Light to medium hazy gold color with beautiful white cap and lacing.

    The aroma first hit me with the tart sharpness of wild cherries followed by ripe yellow fruit.

    Taste on entry is far, far less tart and sharp as the scent indicated. Actually it's a very rounded and sophisticated presentation redolent of of ripe fruit that strikes me as more pear than banana but going in that general direction. Hoppiness is restrained and the fruit is backed by some spicy stuff such as clove. There's no hint of alcohol that I can detect.

    Hey BA's

    55 and sunny in late November in NE Ohio - gotta love it! Supposed to be near 60 today - went for 3.5 mile walk earlier, now enjoying a morning brew ( I could get used to this!)

    Starting off with some gummy bear juice
    Grimm afterimage. Juicy, Hazy orange, soft carbonation, plush fruity aromas. Immense mango, marmalade, pine, honeysuckle, and lemon flavors with a small amount of bitterness cheers

    Having a Lambic & Stout. Just out of curiosity really. Taste is exactly like you can imagine.
    I guess this collab is only recommendable for Stout- and Lambic-lovers who can't make up their mind or only can have one beer.
    Cheers!
