    Good morning gentlemen,
    rare break from work, I put the notes I took on this beer drank recently (the day before yesterday) and that only now I have the strength and time to share:

    Zona Mosto (Milano, ITA) - SHOUTING - Keller (4,7%)

    33 cl can (4 €)
    On the label: "Best before end: 08/2022"
    Foam that I would have liked to have been more abundant.
    Straw yellow color, slightly hazy.
    In the mouth, lively carbonation (but not excessive) to characterize a very smooth body for its lightness and thirst-quenching.
    In the mouth immediately enveloping and "crunchy" notes of cereals and bread crust.
    Secondly, herbaceous notes appear, which give a bitterness perhaps slightly more pungent than an old school Keller, but in any case it is something that I appreciated and that suits us perfectly.
    Excellent beer for the summer, both for how light it is to quench the thirst, and for the balance of intensity of taste it leaves in the mouth.
    Excellent state of form that gave me a sense of freshness of the product.
    I also drank the Hoppy Lger from this new brewery, but this keller left me with the impression of a much more satisfying drink.

    Im at the Charlotte airport, flying home - and there’s Wicked Weed “tap house” on the way to Concourse E.

    Sign me up!

    These two beers look strikingly similar to me, but the flavors ….. differ. Substantially.

    Queen’s Crusher IPA

    [​IMG]

    Dr. Dank IPA

    [​IMG]

    Queen’s is fruity and a little dank, and certainly crushable, but it’s a “by the numbers” hazy, IMHO.

    Dr. Dank, OTOH, is a weedy sledgehammer with a big ol’ dollop of ruby red grapefruit for good measure. I could drink this for DAYS.

    Have a magnificent day, my beer nerd friends.

    The Drowned Lands -- Provisions
    Foeder fermented biere de garde
    ABV: 6.6%; pouring temperature: 48 °F; canning info: unknown

    [​IMG]

    3.83/5 rDev -1.3%
    look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

    Rich copper colored body, clear; excellent carbonation; thick, fluffy head. Sweet, fruity aroma; honey and cantaloupe; green apple. The taste follows the smell although earthier; white grape; a bit of raw oak; mild tartness; mild phenol presence. Medium body; slight coarseness; semi-dry feel.

    Overall, this beer comes across with nice fruity esters which make for a great warm weather thirst quencher. It delivers wonderful eye appeal, enticing aromas, juicy orchard flavors, and finishes with a light dryness.

    Good day BAs! Thanks @Jack_14 for staring the thread and for your excellent review of a beer I'll never see! Next time by brother or I am in Italy, we'll try to hook up with you - your English is loads better than our Italian! And @BeerVikingSailor - the turtle looks like either a yellow belly or a Cumberland slider - neither should be native this far north. Still, a great photo - easily my totem!
    I'm running late today because I had some painting to do before the rains begin - just now getting around to the New Breakfast Beer:

    Still cleaning out my reefers - this is good but it ain't manna from heaven. Rating 4.01, rDev -12.8%.

    Had plans to brave the crazy heat, but cowering inside with an IPA I've been looking forward to for a while since their AB Distributor here has stopped cutoff their beers here beyond Cashmere Hammer.

    Loving it as always Nate @scream !

    Two new to me artists featured last evening on WDCB's "How The West Was Strong" 11PM show. Both have the name Rae, but I don't believe they are related. We'll start alphabetically with Erin today, Taylor tomorrow. Three for 3 Sheeps!!!

    Hello BA!

    Another long weekend in Germany :wink:

    Such a great Märzen. Toffee, chocolate and a hint of Pumpernickel. Nothing overly pronounced but perfectly balanced.
    That's a lovely Franconian Märzen, one of the best I've had so far.

    Prost!
