    Keeping it Irish and red tonight. Started with an Ironshield Uncork'd, and then moved on to this Kilkenny killer.

    When dinner prep is this large, your beer selection should be equally LAAARRRRRRGE.

    Other Half Brewing Co. -- DDH Space Diamonds (imperial IPA)

    [​IMG]

    4.17/5 rDev -6.1%
    look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

    Cloudy peach and banana colored body sporting a one-finger thick head that is incredibly dense and creamy, rich and sticky and highly sculpted. The smell contributes a bit of dankness and a touch of tropical fruit to the nose. The taste has some fresh fruit qualities to it, papaya, white grapefruit, and banana; orange juice; tangy; bold hop bitterness throughout; mild biscuit-like flavor in the background; trace of booziness. Heavy body; rich and creamy; moderately intense acidity.

    There was no canning date on the label, so the beer's age is unknown. I'm inclined to believe it's probably not much more than two months old since the taste of fresh tropical fruit still stands out. The double dry hopping certainly adds some pep to this beer. For a hazy, this one does itself justice.

    ------------

    ...this has been an interesting day in some regards...perhaps the strangest is actually sitting down to write a handwritten letter to a friend in Ohio...we were planning to bicycle the C&O Canal Path and the Great Allegheny Passage in June, but various circumstances made me back out (we made another aborted attempt about 10-11 years ago, but my friend manage to get severely dehydrated before we started - but I did get to show him some of the DC area I know and we caught a great concert at Blues Alley - my 2nd or 3rd time there)...anyway, we will make the trip happen next year for sure...

    Tired Hands Double Alien Church DIPA. Not sure it's twice as good as AC, but at 9%, I'm not sure it really matters. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Just finished getting through Dark on Netflix . . . maybe the best sci-fi TV series ever made, which doesn't necessarily mean the most enjoyable. Confusing as all fuck, but with a surprisingly emotional payoff at the end . . .

    Next time in Columbus try Schmidt’s Sausage Haus. You’ll put a big bag of hurt on their buffet.

    Next up on the AAL train. I really love this beer. I remember, back in the day, traveling to New Ulm to smuggle this beer back for friends. Now why was this? Well, Schell's couldn't keep up with demand for this beer, so they limited it to the new Ulm, and Twin Cities markets. I went to visit my aunt and uncle in New Ulm, and then loaded up my trunk with this beer to bring back to St. Cloud.

    I guess I was a modern day Smoky and the Bandit.
    Though, I tend to be an outlaw.

    If any of my reviews mention lawn fertilizer, or baby puke, you'll know why.
    What is that? Something die? Where? Nope! Fertilizer get wet?:thinking_face: Nope! D'oh!

    Wind is usually from the NW, but today is from SE. Next 3 neighbors to my SE have Callery Pears (Pyrus stinkiensis aka "Those stupid F'n' Pears" ) , & they're blooming 3 weeks early. (They'll last longer in the cooler temps. :rolling_eyes:)

    People, PLEASE!!! don't plant them withing 500' of any dwelling. Assume they are live (olfactory) rounds. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    (Had to sniff some coffee before drinking my beer:wink:)

    Have relocated indoors. Watching a review of the federal budget, which was announced this afternoon. In true Liberal fashion, it’s spend, spend, spend to get re-elected now and kick the deficit/debt can down the road for someone else to deal with.

    A really nice and relatively new DIPA in the Ontario market. Have had quite a few of these recently. Cheers. [​IMG]
