What beer are you drinking now? #2627

Have a good Monday. Going to be another day of gaming for me. Have to get past a hard battle in Skyrim I ran into last night. I bought a vacuum last night finally after my other one broke recently. I really needed to sweep the carpet lol.

Sierra Nevada Celebration. Awesome batch this year as always. Lasting head retention/thick lacing the whole glass. Aromas and flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light peppercorn, and pine hops; with balanced caramel, toasted bread malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced creamy/bready malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Amazingly drinkable. Super juicy and fairly dank/earthy Chinook, Centennial, Cascade hops; perfect bready malt balance, not overly sweet/heavy feeling from lingering resin dryness. I love C hops all year, the fresh hops are very obvious with the herbal/spicy quality going on. Will probably get another pack. This holds up amazingly over many months.

Cheers

 

Got past the first set of guards and got killed by the second set inside the Embassy in Skyrim. Will have to figure out a good way to use my magic to my advantage with these ones that can cast spells.

Surly Todd The Axe Man. Glad to have in the state now. Amazing as usual. Aromas and flavors of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light honeyed malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness. Medium carbonation/body and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Very smooth, not overly aggressive, minimal warming 7.2%. Amazing Citra/Mosaic profile. Very juivy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a great balanced clean bready malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. Top tier stuff. Will always be in the fridge now. Will have to break into some Abrasive soon.


Cheers

 

Day off and getting my day going with this tasty treat. Cheers, I may go all @bowzer4birdie this morning.

 

Venn Brewing Double Venn Pils

 

Evil Twin I Plan On Writing An Epic Poem About This Gorgeous IPA. Awesome. Lasting head retention/thick foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts, and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, minimal lingering hop astringency. Nicely soft and not overly aggressive, minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Awesome Galaxy, Amarillo, Falconers Flight profile. Very vibrant, juicy, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Very impressive as expected of ET. 4.13


Cheers

 

Some days I think, what would @bowzer4birdie do and the answer was have these two stout back to back and really get the day going. Not sure what one I like more, thinking Expresso KBS, but I don’t love maple or here it. Expresso I love.

 

Happy Monday ba. I'm looking at a much needed few days off for New Years. Starting out with a fresh batch of this,

 

Has been a while I had a De Struise beer. Cheers!

 

Sticking with coffee and Founders ba,

 

Gueuzerie Tilquin Oude Pinot Noir Tilquin. Grapes and Lambic are the perfect marriage.

 

Morning

 

Too cold for golf today. I'm going to stay inside, drink beer, and watch football.

 

American Beauty at Manchester airport. Nice rain, sleet, snow drive up from Boston.

 

Aw, crap, I forgot to post the earlier one, which will get me in Dutch with @bowzer4birdie but better late CAN never:
