What beer are you drinking now? #2623

On the Second Day of Christmas...





Nativity, Hans Memling (1475-1500)

 

Started with two smaller glasses of Ellis Island Casino/Brewery's Holiday Nog (this shit is DELICIOUS), then went back to brews with a Boulder Shake Porter and a Dry Dock Vanilla Porter. Merry Christmas LNBAers

 

Have a good Boxing Day. I’ve been playing the new Call Of Duty Modern Warfare all night. Got a friend on PS4 and we are cross platform playing ground war. Need to level up to get some decent weapons, I am sucking right now. Camping snipers mostly.

Big Lake Z's Pet Polar Bear. Incredible NEIPA. Aromas and flavors of big mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, cherry, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; creamy/bready/grainy malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. No hop astringency. Smooth/soft, minimal warming 8%. Awesome Citra, Mosaic, Idaho Gem, El Dorado profile. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Really impressive, one of their best NEIPAs yet. 4.16


Cheers

 

Straub Amber, keepin' it light for the upcoming activities.



Merry National Return Those Ugly Socks Day & cheers!

Let's add some media. LTJ to pump up for ski'ing by ska'ing

 

Great to see you posting again man!

 

Good morning BA
Second day of Christmas...

A passable winter warmer. Cheers all!

 

I was on a hiatus. Good to be back around and good to see you around as well!

 

Going to play more Stardew Valley now.

Austin Brothers Murk Honcho. Fantastic NEIPA. Lasting rocky head retention/thick soapy lacing. Opaquely hazy green color. Aromas and flavors of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red apple, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, toasted malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very creamy/bready/grainy malts, and some sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness; no cloying/astringency. Very smooth/soft, not overly aggressive, minimal warming 7.2%. Fantastic Vic Secret, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Citra profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Another easy winner as expected. Need to find Murky Christmas.


Cheers

 

Day off and heading to Kettlehead later. Cheers all.

 

CBS from Founders

A day to relax. Cheers!

 

Good morning to all of my fellow early-risers & early-imbibers on Boxing Day! Right NOW, I am drinking what is being billed as a "Distorted Farmhouse Pale Ale":

& I know JUST the tune to acCANpony this one!:

 

Brasserie de Blaugies La Vermontoise

 

Warmin' up with one of these shitty Weldwerks coffee stouts. Yeah. Rough. Also, the wife also made some moon pies... again. Better go for a run later.... cheers to all.

 

Poured into a 13 oz stemless tulip canned on 10/25/19. Pours a dark brown a 2 finger head that leaves some thick streaks of lace as it slowly settles into a thin film of bubbles. 4.25

Smell is faint dry coffee, vanilla, cocoa nibs, and some toffee. 3.75

Taste follows, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and toffee. 3.75

Mouthfeel is about medium, a tad dry, soft carbonation, and at 5.9% drinks like it. 3.75

Overall not bad, but no wow factor for me, but pretty darn solid and at 5.9% you can have a few of them. 3.75

 

I'm liking the avatar!

 

A quiet day yesterday, just a marathon of Christmas movies.
Looking forward to another relaxed day.

 

Indeed Flavorwave IPA

 

I'm back. @woodychandler knows my affinity for Oktoberfest beers & sent a few more in our last exchange

I have to cover someone else's nightshifts the next two nights, but there's probably time for one more before a nap. Cheers!

 

At Dominion with a flight and regular pour, l-r:

The Veil Hide Your Heart, Jester King Detritivore, Stillwater/Westbrook Gose Gone Wild, Decidious Eternal Dreamer, and RAR Imperial 1st Meal



Cheers!
