What beer are you drinking now? #3483

Hi all Advocates,
after a few days of absence due to a weekend of fire, I send you a spectacular beer that I had the pleasure of uncorking on a very special occasion.......... the relegation of the opposing basketball team, with the which we did the Derby but which has now gone to the lower division


Bye, Bye guys, we will miss you... maybe...

Logsdon Farmhouse Ales (Washougal, Washington, USA) - ZUUR PRUIM - Barrel aged Farmhouse Ale with plums (7.5%)

75 cl bottle, "Logsdon Family Reserve Series - Limited Release", Bottle 2/13 "Best by: 11/2021", Drunk on 05/01/2022.
She is a Farmhouse Ales that has been aged 4 months in French oak barrels, to which "Hollywood" and "Yummy Beaut" quality plums have been added and left in cask for another 6 months. Subsequently, the blend between this beer and another spontaneously fermented "basic" beer (it will be another Farmhouse Ale without additions) takes place and is refermented in the bottle.

Freshly uncorked, intense aroma of plum jam and almost fruit juice.
Poured is wonderful: orange color, white foam with little consistency that does not disappear immediately.
In the mouth it is simply DIVINE: soft entry (but not exactly sweet), fruity taste of yellow plum, I could also say apricot for the nuances it takes, a sour note not of bretta, but of that tartaric proper of fruit fermented in maceration, of process natural. More than an acid note (sour) one could speak of the typical sourness of fruit, nothing else.
Clean dry finish on the tongue, very light dehydration. Intense notes of ripe yellow fruit on the palate (yellow plums, apricots, peaches ...). I seem to pick up slightly woody hints immediately after the tartaric note.
No funky or farmhouse notes, but medium body and lively carbonation typical of a Farmhouse Ale.

Wonderful work with fruit, total balance between intensity of fruity taste, acid / sour note and ease of drinking.
A true masterpiece for me, in spectacular form with a splendid balance between beer density, intensity of taste and full control of sweetness and acidity.









Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

Howdy all.
Went AWOL yesterday for some real-life beer-time with friends out and it was nice to be outside for a bit. Today? The usual N/A starter on a slower to start morning, then out for more leg abuse, maybe gym if I'm up for it after. Hard to keep the old dawgs going and motivated.
Cheers!

 

Roll Your Own Way. Imperial Stout from Hop Butcher.
This one too I found in the supermarket. Prices of most fancy 'supermarket beers' I posted lately are somewhat like bottle-shops and online stores here in NW Europe by the way.
Cheers

 

Went to buy my annual supply of Waldos this year and popped a bottle last night and it was a MAJOR WTF moment. I have been buying a case of Waldos every year for a long ass time. Seems those days are over. It's a beer I look forward to every year and was always one of the best, but its apparent they royally f'd over this beer now that Lag sold out. Oh well, back to my Outer Range and Weldwerks supply here in CO.

 

That a super enjoyable "everyday" beer. I switch back and forth between it and Weihenstephaner Helles (both canned packaging) when I want a German Helles. Cheers!

 

At Dooky Chase with a lager and Creole Gumbo



Cheers!

 

Morning!

Coffee, breakfast and a few daily chores. Now beer.



Project Dank ~ Spring Edition
La Cumbre Brewing

Have a great hump day!

 

Lunch beer! Another new beer to me. Fox Farm Fohn Kellerbier 5.6% ABV. This a tricky style to pull off for packaging & sale. Fox Farm sure did. Good looking pour that is surprisingly clear for an unfiltered beer. It has some nice floral/spicy/cracker aromas and flavors. Soft medium body. Moderate clean bitter snap. Very well balanced too. This would pair well with a lot of foods.
Thanks @colby600 for introducing me to this brewery.

 

Looks like you've been eating, and drinking, quite well this week. Cheers!

 

Great Pics!

 

Thanks for kicking off @JZH1000 , and great beer @ATL6245 , not to mention your always fine selection in music accompaniment.

Ambitious Side by Side for me, of my favorite annual Barrel Aged release with four year of age between the two.

Revolution Ryeway to Heaven 2021 vs. Revolution Ryeway to Heaven 2017



Full treatment in the Share Your Side by Side thread. Bottom line, drink the (and nearly all beer) early and often, cellar / store at your own risk. Sitll enjoying both, may return later today with a cuvee as it is doubtful I'll knock out 24 ounces now (about 8 or 9 ounces in at this juncture).

Will take a nice walk in the beautiful (though still chilly) Chicago Sun once I awake from a near certain nap.

Dinah Washington - What A Difference A Day Makes

 

I get to.spend the afternoon at the old ball park

Sam Adams Boston Lager It's only 84° brought a sweater.

 

Just two of us for golf today, played in under three hours.
Came home to drink a beer, and this is a nice one.

 

It was my intention too to stick to one beer. Just poured a light local IPA
By the way, I hope they ship those wonderful Brooklyn cans this way someday soon.
Cheers!

 

.........been quite sometime since I've had this, I really like these stovepipes!
