What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2707

Really enjoying this Insubordination from Boundary Bay I received from @beertunes. Thanks again!

 

Just made my first beer run in 2 months. Got an amazing reuben for lunch from one of my favorite stores; and also a ton of new beers to review! Owner is one of my best friends. After being there nearly every week previously, it's quite refreshing to see so many new beers around. There were still plenty more I could have gotten too!


Beer:

Lagunitas Born Yesterday. Still tasting amazing. Flavors of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, biscuit, light honeyed malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced bready/grainy malt and sticky/resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Crisp/drying finish and never astringent on bitterness. Amazing juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop profile; with a clean pale malt backbone. Refreshingly drinkable for an IPA. Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic hops this year. Used to have Equiniox for years, but I guess they couldn't find a lot to use?


Cheers

 

I volunteer for the Rollerbetties at their bouts. The season was supposed to start nect week, but......

 

Typical choice for me. Cheers... *********s falling outside. Nice.

 

Coffee break! New old stock from 15 Oct 2018. Lol! Cheers BA!

 

Freshies ba,

 

First dance with this brewery, nice NEIPA.

 

Continuing my foray in NA beers - Erdinger’s “Non - Alcoholic”... less than 1/2 of 1% abv:



Deep gold pour with excellent clarity; four fingers of fluffy white foam; excellent cap retention; medium heavy lacing. Whiff of floral hops and DMS. Sweet bready malt with light floral hops taste. Thin but not watery body; medium carbonation. Overall, good tasting and no off flavors; firm malt base and enough hops so that the beer is not boring; I’d drink again.

4.75 | 3.0 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5

 

Fox Farm Varonna. Cheers!

 

Picked this up in Ann Arbor, Michigan (doesn't seem to have gotten to the East Coast yet). Missed IV and V, but VI is really enjoyable (as were I through III). Cheers to the world (especially in these trying times).



Sláinte agus tabhair aire!

 

Another local tasty.

 

My son picked up a suitcase of these for me. After getting over the initial shock I realized he had also used my debit card.




Clear, clean, light in all respects, perfectly acceptable quaffing brew to wash down lunch. Drinking this further reinforced my long held belief that the best use for light beer is nursing a hangover.

 

-the lack of access to saisons was one of the two motivators for homebrewing many years ago. Classic (a Belgian style saison) from Blackberry Farm Brewery. It is true to style.

 

Just Finnished my last shift of the week after 10 straight. Gotta stop eating stuff that requires finger licking..Cheers!

 

Sleep, workout like crazy, take a drive or walk in the woods, drink a few beers. No job but hell life could be alot worse. Hope everyones doing as well as can be. Back East Unicorn Farm Nelson IPA. Very good rep of the hop.
