What beer are you drinking now? #3044

Destihl - Privyet Russian Imperial Stout (can).. cheers!

 

You could add a side-by-side of them in that thread, if you'd like. I might actually do that at some point.

I think (from memory) Bigfoot is bolder in both malt and definitely hops. I think Colossal X has a more subdued malt profile than I expected on first sip. As I got into it, I started enjoying it a bit more.

Then again, I've become somewhat of a Port City fan boy, so I will offer my opinion with a grain of salt. That said, I'm thinking this will likely get a high 3 to right at 4 rating once I get to reviewing it.


Edit: oh, and a light sip of the Elijah Craig followed by a sip of the Port City is really working for me right now - brings an herbal to evergreen note out of the beer.

 

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 2/15/2021. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves thin webs of lace with excellent retention. 4.5

Aroma is mango, ripe melon, passionfruit, buttery Chardonnay from the Nelson hops, and apricot. 4.5

Taste follows mango, cantaloupe, passionfruit, a hint of yellow grapes, and apricot really well balanced and low on bitterness. 4.5

Mouthfeel is above average, soft gentle carbonation, not sticky but maybe a little dry, and at 7.8% ABV extremely easy drinking. 4.5

Overall this one is really tasty, the hops all play well together and @TheIPAHunter did I mention Nelson. Excellent stuff. 4.5

 

Best wishes to your grandma and enjoy the trip !

 

When the Bird Flies Away the Sky Flies Away. Nice DIPA from Cloudwater.
Last year we were planning a small BA NW Europe meetup at their taproom in Manchester. That turned out a no go for obvious reasons. Looking forward to any time in the future that we'll get there.
Cheers!



This was february 2020 (at Cloudwater Manchester) .... still without a care in the World.



More tunes from Manchester

 

This one from them is hard to get sick of.

 

Taking the edge off the crappy cold catered lunch The crew has to eat - in their parked cars-

 

Leinenkugels Session Helles Lager.
Super light and watery. Smooth, crisp, inoffensive @ 99 calories & 3.4% abv. Probably would prefer it more on a hot day in August, either grillin' or after mowing.

 

Afternoon Advocates and wishing the best for the grandma of @Shanex. Feeling like ten miles of bad road myself today. Just pushing the exercise very hard and crashed a bit today. Sore, tired and dragging my ass about two inches off the ground. A few beers will hopefully help. Collective Arts Raspberry Dry Hopped Sour to Start. Cheers.

 

“Session” Helles.

paging @JackHorzempa

leinenkugels attempt to market the word Helles which has been trendy these past months in order to sell a low cal beer? A 4.7% ABV is still sessionable. I know it’s all subjective.

I’d still 100% drink it.

 

A nice tasting one from kitsune brewing co.



Cheers vbar peep.

 

Just finished playing with the snow!
too tired, so rec pic




Cheers!

 

You approached the beer the right way, that was probably my mistake! Cheers!

 

Mother Earth - Cosmic Pyrokinesis

 

Captain Lawrence Powder Dreams is up now. It's a very specific beer. There are like twenty of them on BA depending on the hop bill. This is a NEIPA dry hopped with mosaic, lupulin powder, cascade, centennial and Zeus hops. I'm only the 2nd to review it and I rated it 3.90 which is way below the other guy who rated it 4.37.

 

Cushwa - Tenuous Pawn w/coffee (Brown Ale)

 

Dark Lord to start the weekend, cheers!
