    [​IMG] Tonight's Blind Battle Beer Tasting Lineup:

    1) Praga Pils (4.7%): A Czech Pils that has flavors of buttery diacetyl, bread malts, yeast, and pale malts. A crisp finish.
    versus
    2) Pilsner Urquell (4.4% ): The original Czech Pils that has buttery and salty flavors of diacetyl atop the bread malt. Some lemon hop flavors. A smooth finish.

    3) Weldworks Juicy Bits IPA (6.7% no date): A NEIPA from Colorado made with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops for flavors of tropical orange, pineapple, melon, and citrus rind.
    versus
    4) Blackstack Loud Bits (8.0% canned 4/20/22): A NEIPA from Minnesota designed after Juicy Bits for flavors of orange, ripe pineapple, green honeydew melon. Juicy, and sweet.
    (Both pairs correctly matched blind)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Winners:

    2) Pilsner Urquell:     The original Czech Pils from 1842, this one is nearly impossible to beat. Lemon hops with the buttery bread flavor from the diacetyl. Drinks like a wonder. I thought Praga drank well too, but slightly lighter and less hoppy.

    4) BlackStack Loud Bits: This one is a collaboration with Weldworks Juicy Bits with the addition of Galaxy hops. It has a nice addition of green honeydew and tropical melon flavors. A bit more juicy and sweet, but a more smooth and better mouthfeel than Juicy Bits.

    Another Stone IPA. I would say get used to this, but the NEIPAs in my beer fridge are absolutely mad as hell right now. Haha. Cheers!

    Well, evidently @Hiwattowner and @TCgenny weren't amused with my can opening skills last night. So-ooooo, back for beer opener round numero-el-two-o (and all without chipping the bottle too :wink:). Sorry for the extra step to click on the link, it's my first time posting on YouTube ...

    One benefit of drinking straight from the can: I'm going straight from this post to the shower, and I'm taking my beer with me. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Outer Light Brewing Co. -- Breakfast At Tiffany's
    Baltic porter
    ABV: 6.0%; pouring temperature: 61 °F; canning data: unavailable

    3.82/5 rDev -4%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

    A nice Baltic porter that I may have poured out a bit too warm. Still, it delivered some respectable looks and great taste and mouthfeel.

    Stone IPA, but pause for this little intermission. RIP to James Caan. Tremendous actor. And since I typically post rap videos. Again... typically. James' son, Scott, another actor most of you should know, started as a rapper. His rap partner, at that time, is now considered one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all-time. I know you didn't ask for this trivial knowledge, but you're welcome. And again, rest in paradise, Sonny Corleone. You lived a great life. Cheers.

    Peace to Scott Caan and the MF'ing Alchemist. Peace...
