What beer are you drinking now? #2993

On the sixth day of Christmas...



Salvador Dali, Nativity (1959)

 

Have a good Wednesday. I woke up around 130AM, my GF went to work after leaving here at 1245PM. So I slept all day, yep. And I got a cart and bag from my friend on Monday, so it's been good. Right before me and Julia went to Red Lobster with my $50 gift card from my dad. My sister has some more flowers, I gotta go up there today. Still working at 11PM today. More cat pics for you, they groom and then get in a fight and run around everywhere. Chuck is the crazy ass. Just got paid today, 350 per week is horrible. At least next week will be the holiday pay. I can't wait to be an Engineer again, I would save so much money since I barely buy any beer anymore. I haven't been drunk since the beginning of the year at least.


Redds wicked review. Very nice stuff. Good head retention/spotty lacing. Aromas and flavors of big red/green apples, fruit peel, citrus, grain, white sugar syrup, caramel, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Touch of alcohol booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Light herbal/grassy bitterness and alcohol spiciness on the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and spicy alcohol. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/syrupy/sticky mouthfeel. Fairly refreshing for the ABV. Mild increasing warmth of 8% after the finish. A very enjoyable offering without feeling too artificial. Dangerously drinkable. 3.9


Cheers

I got my GF into prog metal and tech death. She loves The Ocean now, so that's how you know I am going to marry her some day. BTBAM is the next one to show her.

 

Have synchronized the Holiday Budweiser's at this point, the sixth of twelve.



From one King to another. The Jazzman will returneth soon.

 

Cost of living is crazy man. I honestly make a bit more a week but need to have room mates. 4 of them plus my girl. Not my parents lol. It’s nuts over here.

 

Good morning BA
Finally off work for a whopping 48 hours before I work the holiday weekend. F...ing beer me

I am going to attempt to drink a large quantity of gifted beers that are old or just not styles I prefer before January 1. Bells calls this one juicy, but the bitterness is pronounced. I like the bitterness, but not the rotting tropical fruit taste.

Getting a nap early to try to salvage half a day. Cheers all!

 

Good day BAs! Off to a warm start - last ****ardly snowfall is almost melted, just some remaining in the shadowlands. Today's New Breakfast Beer is one I searched for years ago then accidentally found last November:



The best IPA I've had in a loooong time - something good out of DC. Actually, the few brews I've had from that sinkhole of corruption, I've rated 4 or above. So I guess that means DC makes better beers than decisions. Actually, if Wings were available in this area, it might well edge out PseudoSue as daily beer #2 (or #3 or #4 or ...).

 

Day off from my real job, I need to work 5 hours at the Case n Keg after taking my niece out to lunch at Kettlehead. Juicy stuff right here. Cheers all.

 

from the Catskill Brewery - I have very early childhood memories of walking the Devil's Path -

I was happy to catch this from the start on TCM last night -

 

Enjoying KBS Espresso in the silence of a sleeping house.

Well not, silence. I have music playing (quietly).

 

Gluten tag.
Starting off the day as I finished yesterday: ORB Tilted Pale Ale. Wife's baked good for scale.
Gotta start salting my short ribs for a braise. Cheers!

 

A bake scale?

 

Hey BA's

Partly sunny and 42 degrees and Dec 30 ? I will take that....yes, please - getting ready to make some vegan chili and then a walk with my furry friend after lunch - hopefully before the rains come....she has been such a great hiking companion this year!

 

Last one of these. Such a nice porter.

 

Morning! A chilly 5° while out feeding birds and bringing in more firewood. The wood stove is roaring and will remain so today. Beer time.



Stay warm and have a great day.

 

A bit of juice to start my day off work.
Morning Haze from Moose Lake Brewing - Moose Lake, MN - 7.3% ABV - 750ml crawler.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.75

Canned Oct 30, 2020 - Consumed December 30, 2020.

Pours a hazy and very dank, murky orangish color. 2 finger fluffy, and frothy slightly off white head. There's some very beautiful lacing on the glass as the head dissipates.
The nose is has a nice citrus aroma. It's not a "hot" citrus aroma that a lot of beers of this style have, it's more mellow. Mango, a hint of pineapple is also here.
Taste - A nice mellow mango flavor here in the beer, and just a faint hint of a more pine hop in the background.
Somewhat of a tangy feel here. It's not really creamy, or soft feeling. It's got a good full body, but the mouthfeel isn't right for the style.
Overall, it's good for an IPA. I like the flavor and aroma. The feel of the beer is way off for the NEIPA style, and this distracts from the beer.

 

Moon Rover NEDIPA.
