New Beer Weekend #79

Barrique - Wasioto, barrel-aged lagerbier. Gifted to me by the sophisticated, genteel, and well-educated @WunderLlama. Part of NBS BIF #14.

16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Dated 11/09/2021.

Pours crystal clear dark golden with a fairly large head that collapses to a half-millimeter skin, pretty uniform, moderately coarse. Lots of carbonation. Smell is grassy, lemony, and light.

Taste is actually pretty rich -- sweet, grainy, tons of lemon. Fair citrus zest bitter finish.

Mouthfeel is very light, very effervescent, very dry. Overall, very nice lager.

I came home from a family baby shower really wanting to cap off the night with a big heavy dark beer, but decided lighter and lower alcohol was a better idea, and this is a very pleasing result.

 

Hello Late Night NB(S)W.
Life is busy.
Thank goodness there is beer.

Double Daisy Cutter - Galaxy

16 oz can stamped 12/21/21 SHENANIGANS.
Fluffy off-white head caps a slightly murky orange. The head recedes to a milky ring and scattered cap. Pillowy clouds of lacing. Decent retention.
Nose abounds with peach initially, but almost instantly a dank weedy note pops and tapers back a bit for some onion.
Flavor begins with a melange of tropical and weedy notes. Mango, pineapple, papaya start off. Weed an onion kick in. Some herbal spice, some bread dough, hints of melon and wet grass. There's a lot going on for sure.
Mouthfeel is a tad fluffy, fairly full for style, smooth carbonation, sometimes a bit prickly and finishes with a mild, herbal bitterness.
Overall, I like this. I wanna give it a few more shots because there is so much going on.

 

Love your staging of this one.

 

Should be OK during most of the day.
The aroma is exuded from early evening through mid-morning, or until fog burns off . (here in fall). Guessing that they're pollinated by moths, &/or other nocturnal insects . (Bats?)
