What beer are you drinking now? #2868

Incognito Agent with a new hop. Celebrating my nephew’s 21st birthday yesterday.

 

Hey BA's

Kind of a sad melancholy day - we buried my sister this morning - same veterans cemetary where our brother is also buried....

Why are funeral days cloudy rainy crappy?

 

Sorry about your sister

 

Back from grocery shopping/putting stuff away...it’s sunny, 90° and humid...maybe an IPA kinda day - Lithermans Limited, Concord NH - Misguided Angel:



Best by 10/11/20. DDH with Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe. Courtesy of @Ocalafox ...

Pours an opaque deep gold with some clarity under white head; ok cap retention; some soapy lace; solid ring. Predominantly grapefruit with some earthy pineapple nose. Taste is grapefruit/Meyers lemons bitterness; sweet pineapple; clean malt base. Medium full body, moderate minus carbonation; no astringency from hops, no warmth from 7.5% abv; clean feel. Overall, a “hazy” NEIPA (with Mosaic!) that I like; long bitter citrus rind linger (80 IBUs?); advertised as a “True” NEIPA, it looks/feels/tastes like a Midwest IPA (no pine/no stickiness); which tics few NEIPA guideline boxes, with loads of bitterness...add more grapefruit and I’d think I was drinking a Grapefruit Sculpin; maybe this beer really ls what an NEIPA was meant to be...I would drink this daily if I lived in NH!

Thanks again to my brother in arms @Ocalafox for muling this beer for me to Florida - Cheers BAs!

 

Condolences...sorry to hear of your loss. I’ve been to several Rainy family funerals - the angels weep for you and your Sister’s loved ones...

 

Paulaner Munich Lager

 

Happy Birthday my friend, Cheers.

 

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister, cheers to her.

 

Moving right along in IPA Thursday - TG’s “Pompeii”:

 

Good luck, time spent with you and time away from his Mom will do both of them good. Absence makes the heart grow fonder as they say.

 

Continuing my semi beer- stay-cation with Machinations. A DIPA from Track Brewing (Manchester, UK). Never had a disappointing beer from this brewery so far. Awesome stuff to me.
Cheers!

 

Something new (to me) ... “Cloud Curtain” an Oat Whipped DIPA, DDH with Motueka hops, by Mountains Walking Brewery, Bozeman MT:



Pours a milkshake artificial looking dense cloudy/creamy pale gold; mixed bubbles of white foam; good cap retention; medium heavy lacing. Skunky pineapple nose. Taste is somewhat juicy overripe tropical fruit; semi-sweet pineapple/caramel malt predominates; otherwise tastes like bland smashed plantains; no bitterness from the hops. Full pillowy, fluffy oatmeal “whipped” body, read watery mashed potatoes; ever so slight bite from 8.5% abv, but no warmth from the alcohol. Overall, I don’t know what this is supposed to be, but I don’t ever want another...

But still, a nice mid-day break, and some coffee in this won't hurt for the Zoom-a-geddon session this afternoon with students and some advising. Laterz. Happy day to @Roguer and condolences to @BeerVikingSailor .
