What beer are you drinking now? #3166

Pitcher duel in CWS, go Wolfpack! Bell's Tropical Oberon Ale

 

Was going to do a formal review of a beer that’s been among the top selling beers here longer than I’ve been alive, but has declined in share as their loyal customers have died. However, it’s either 4,7 or 10 months old, and tastes a bit off, which is not good considering it’s an Old Style.

G. Heileman’s Old Style



Looking forward to the Grateful Dead show at 11.

 

Another from Independence Brewing. Malty, fresh cut lawn crispness.

 

Happy Summer, BAs! Went out for salad greens @ 9:15, & (absent storm) felt as though I should still be out there working.
Finishing up the growler of Other Half Out For Trout NEIPA. Seems as though it has Nelson Other than abv (8.0%) & style, my source had no info. OH has no current info posted. @TheIPAHunter , any memories/experience with this one?
In any event , whatever this is, it's good.

Your food looks as good as it sounds

 

Shoutout to @Thankin_Hank - glad you enjoyed the beers. I love sharing stuff from here and I’ll always need some more Yellow Rose!

Straight up West Coast to a T with this one:

Club Raul is going off:

 

I can't believe I have not reviewed this beer yet. I am sure I have had two 6ers of it. It is worthy and an interesting slant on pilsner.

Crooked Stave- New Zealand Style Pilsner

 

No, given to me by a nephew who passed through the area recently. He generously gave me two! Cheers!

 

Final call, one more PBR. Bill comp, just a tip. The wrap was good. Wish they had the Daisy Cutter I came for.

 

Boss Beach guava Berliner from our very local Savage Brew Labs. Light, tasty, not too sour, great for summer!

 

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass bottle on 2/12/21. Pours midnight black with a finger plus mocha head that leaves thin streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.75

Aroma cocoa nibs, chili peppers, cinnamon, Expresso bean, vanilla bean, and a little hit of Oaked bourbon. 4.25

Taste follows cocoa, cinnamon, chili peppers, coffee, vanilla, and again a little peppery heat mixed with woody bourbon really well balanced. 4.5

Mouthfeel is big, gentle creamy carbonation, not dry, and at 10% it drinks bigger but is still very approachable. 4.75

Overall this is a very impressive BA RIS I am savoring every single sip and it is so complex you pick up a new flavor after every sip. 4.5

 

Cheers!

Vontrapp kolsch with pasta,tomato pesto and turkey meatballs.
Im sorry to say my turkey meatballs aren't as pretty as @eppCOS balls earlier

 

I’m a fire sign, so the summer solstice stirs my core. I must replenish it yearly with loads of vibrant yellow beers, in preparation for the other ten months of gray and cold.

 

@meliscious Welcome to the virtual bar! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone comment on that brewery before, so….first!

 

Another @russpowell treat. Lost Forty Nighty Night “2020.” They put a fancy sticker over the original “batch 2019” can name. Someone should tell them we dark beer drinkers don’t mind age on our beers. Especially ones aged in barrels of rye and red wine. Poured cold, there was no head until about a minute after the can contents were in the glass. Then a half-finger dark mocha head bubbled up. This is viscous, probably why the head couldn’t surface right away. Lots of sticky lacing, with waves of cling as it gets poured and released. There’s a nice rye cleansing flavor up front, followed by a dry red wine finish, and a bit of barrel. It’s slightly sweet, but nowhere near dessert level. Very nice. Own your age, Lost Forty, I don’t mind!
