What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3665

I love mushrooms and those look awesome!

 

Yikes! Looks awsome. How'd they chow down?

 

I hand roll - been doing that for years

 

What - is - up, y'all?

Back after a long work day and with.... a real beer.

Cannonball/Comrade/Cumbre's collab Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Excellence. 7% ABV(?).

An IPA, as you may already know. It's pretty damn good on first taste and growing on me with every minute. Great west coast meets mountain attitude beverage here; not a ton of head produced (unless you spoon-fluff like @beergoot - hee-hee), but see-through, dry, complex, delicious, and just the right amount of bitter. Nice.

Solid AF beer here, glad I scored a 4 pack before it disappeared into the ether.

What's your news today?

Cheers....

 

At the DFW airport in the American Airlines lounge in the E Terminal. It’s a hike but worth it when they have this iconic beer, which I’ve not had in a while (probably 4 or 5 years).

I can’t find a date code, but it tastes very fresh and delicious - and I freaked out the bartender, who couldn’t find a bottle opener, so I yanked out the Floyds bottle opener and popped the top before he could do a search. “You travel PREPARED.”

Yep. All beer nerds do.

 

pretty damn good. Got some Hyvee take and bake pizza and breadsticks to throw in the oven tonight. Cheers BA!!

 

The flavor is surprisingly mild, for a wild, foresr/woods grown mushroom

It can also be shredded, just like crab meat.

 

I think I see a smudge on that glass boy!

 

Ghost in the Machine with some wings that are about to be reheated. The Ghost was bottled on 10/4 pretty good. They switched from yellow ink on the brown bottle to black on brown.....WTF....I didn't spot the date until pouring it......but it worked out.

 

A light lager

 

Hello old friend.

 

Yeah, I think it's one of the better NA options out there that doesn't disappoint. Cheers man!

 

@Beersnake1 sent this mystery beer to me. All he told me is it was higher ABV. No clue to what it is. I'm guessing a BA barleywine???

I will post a reveal later, and put my notes into the system on said beer - unedited - after the reveal:


Mystery beer:

This review is written blind. I have no clue as to what it is when writing this. All I've been told is it's higher ABV:

Looks - 4.25

Brown pouring with a 1 finger or so tan head. The retention is decent. There's no lacing on the glass. Looks like it could be a barleywine?

Aroma - 3.75
Well, whatever it is, it smells very barrel aged. I'm guessing whiskey barrel. That is the main aroma I get here. Not really getting a lot of depth in the aroma.

Taste - 4.5

The flavor is a lot more deep than the aroma let on. It's boozy up front for a second. The back is where the flavors kick in. Tons of caramel and toffee hit hard. A bit of plum comes in as well on the way back.

Body - 4.75
The body is full. From the aroma I was expecting a booze bomb, but it's not. There's a bit of heat that hits up front, but mellow. The body is quite full, and very smooth. Very little burn.

Overall - 4.5
I am not sure what it is. I'm guessing a BA barleywine, but probably totally wrong here. Whatever it is, I like it, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it.

This seems to fit with the mystery beer.

 

You need a stunningly large amount of the sap

 

Celebration on the Day of the Dead ..



Great session ..

 

Wow! Cheers to you!

 

It does the trick:

At Dee Jays in West Virginia waiting on ribs and drinking Yuengling. Cheers!
