What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3540

The first time I had this was 7 years ago. I stopped at the brewery whilst on business in Iowa to pick up some Lightspeed bombers (does anyone remember when TG was ALL ABOUT bombers - like for all their “flagship” beers) and they had this and Mornin’ Delight randomly on tap. IIRC, that was my first true hazy and it knocked my socks off on tap.

That was a pretty fantastic beer nerd day for this old beer nerd. And this beer is still excellent, IMHO - nice bite to accompany loads of dank, citrusy hop flavors. Absolutely love it.

 

Relaxing on the deck digesting dinner. Three and one-half pounds of shrimp met their demise tonight. And the answer is yes, I did have help. I am not that much of a glutton. Pretty close though.

 

BierBeer Unfiltered Pilsner
A god damnedgm great one in this heat. And only 5 a pint

 

I think it might be time for a beer ....

Yep, it is.




Cheers Y'all.

 

Wax Wings Triple NNNazareth TIPA. Orange gummi and OJ with pulp take the lead, with white peach, ripe mango, floral and pine notes not far behind. A slight minty, pine resin bitterness adds balance. No alcohol detected, which is always my pet peeve on TIPA's. Soft and delicate feel. This is extremely well done.

 

3 Daughters Florida Orange IPA..... tequila is chilling in the freezer, this may be a sign of things to come......

 

Love this post. I certainly do remember when those guys were all about bombers. King Sue bombers were so tough to get! Very cool story too. That's a nice hazy to start off with. Finding those on tap would have been mind-blowing, especially the MD.

 

Brewing Projekt Smoofee Pineapple/Mango/Passionfruit/Banana Fruited Sour, 7.17% ABV. Pours thick and opaque bright orange with a ring of light orange bubbles that left puree residue. Nose is banana, pineapple, and mango. Taste follows, with passionfruit in there somewhere, moderately sweet, moderately tart, and a zest-like bitterness. Thick and smooth mouthfeel, overall excellent.

4.24/5 rDev 0%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Another angry-looking Brewing Projekt beer. Not quite as outstanding as the Smoofee the other day, but still decent.

 

Some West Coast action from Slack Tide. The grapefruit and onion really pop. And I like that Intracoastal is now in 12 oz. cans. Cheers!

And my favorite song from my favorite West Coast band.

 

The king IMO.

 

Expensive but damn good.

 

I used to love bombers of Zeelander, thanks for the memory. Cheers!

 

Great points. I completely spaced on the fact Steve isn't there anymore. Cheers bro.

 

Good evening BA
Just had to enter this one in the database after waiting a month for someone else to do it. I guess the advocates are not buying from Alltech anymore

Kentucky Blueberry Barrel Wheat
Pretty good actually. More blueberry than barrel of course. Cheers all!
