What beer are you drinking now? #3901

1) Toppling Goliath King Sue (7.8% canned 4/14/23): A NEIPA from Iowa since 2014 brewed with Citra hops and has flavors of orange citrus, pineapple, and tropical mango.
versus
2) Toppling Goliath Electric Dino Boogie (7.8% canned 2/27/23): A NEIPA from Iowa/Tx collab with Pinthouse Brewing with Simcoe, Citra, and Galaxy for flavors of juicy orange, cantaloupe and peach, tropical fruit with a touch of pine and dank herbal notes.
versus
3) Toppling Goliath Places I’ve Been (7.8% canned 6/12/23): A NEIPA from Iowa with flavors of orange, green guava, pineapple, papaya. Tropical, sticky with a piney bitterness. (Correctly matched all three beers blind)

TG Haze Battle, and these are always fun. The OG, an old, and fresh one. Not really fair to call a winner. Electric Dino Boogie still holding on by a thread. Flavors are much less pronounced than when fresh, but still complex with Simcoe flavors predominating. Both this one and King Sue holding up fantastic with age. Places I've Been is another collab with Radiant Brewing. A pungent NEIPA here with unknown hops. I'm getting green guava, papaya, pineapple. Tropical, but a decent piney bitterness off the end. Fantastic today, but have a feeling the tropical, sticky-icky, and pungent qualities of this won't hold up as well with age and to be determined at a later time...

 

Two Gruner Bros. Hell's Hef Acre Hefeweizen. Shit! Survey sez that's an acre! It's okay. Mild expressions.On the lighter side and clear. Too dark to be Kristall Weiss-style. I shot a little bit of lemon in it for the last 4 slugs and it just made it a bit less edgy. Cheers BAs!!

 

Cheers!

Beautiful 75 degree day poolside.

 

That's a lot of snow for PA in June haha.

I'll join you with a Helles as well.

Always nice to revisit this classic fave, tho I do prefer the new canned recipe by an ever so slight margin.






Snapped a little summer color just before the current downpour and cracking thunder.

Cheers Y'all!

 

Just a Bud.

 

Just wondering what is the bottling date on your SNPA? We rarely see it less than 90 days in NJ.

 

Tired Hands Double Alien Church. I've been blowing through these way too fast.

 

At a local bar drinking Kane Party Wave an excellent IPA brewed in NJ.

 

Having a Long Trail Little Anomaly IPA

 

@tekstr1der ice, not snow.

It's actually pretty disgusting out, 80 something and all humidity. I'll sit outside and wait on what should be glorious storm.

 

Cleannn - Cheers y'all!!

 

you are correct

 

Haha, I was certainly joking, but the snow is real here in June, at least on one mountain:
