    Beautiful Chicago afternoon. At the best brewery within a short 2 mile walk of home. New to me Kolsch, yes please!

    River flooding a bit.

    Une Annee Kolsch

    [​IMG]

    Brewery Notes:
    4.4% ABV Kolsch Style Ale. $12 Cheeseburger, Fries & Beer Monday Special.

    Appearance: 16 oz draft pour into a narrow Pilsner glass. Straw golden crystal clear pour, steady carbonation throughout, bright white generous head leaves a very creamy cover over the base. 4.25

    Aroma:
    Bread, salt and pepper, mild in strength, a bit higher in pull. 3.5

    Taste:
    Consistent with the aroma but stronger. Digging the nice salt pepper combo, nice hops malt mix. 4.0

    Mouthfeel: Dry crisp pour, drinks nice and easy, like the ABV. Borders Pils style hops prevalence, cracker finish. 4.25

    Overall:
    This is a nice light and easy Kolsch, a little hoppier than usual, lots of pils vibes but hits the spot and style well. Yes please. 4.0

    Live here:

    Pacifica X Rakau X Nelson, a NEIPA from Latvian brewery Arpus (6.5%).

    his makes for a pretty nice New England IPA that's not quite to my personal taste though. It's quite fruity and juicy, with and interesting flavor profile, but lacks that certain bite that I prefer in the form of some more bitter, resinous or dank notes.

    Not sure whether I prefer this or the Hacker Pschorr Märzen, but I'm certain I love both.

    Didn’t feel like eating another new beer, so back to a returning favorite I haven’t had in a long time.

    As good as I remember. They have fine wild sours here.

    Happy Monday BAs! 'Tis the season, so I'm drinking a local festbier from Sons of Kent. It's a decent substitute for the real German article. Cheers!

    @Dethark - Glad you enjoyed your Pliny The Elder. I still remember my first, and many after. I served a sip to my two year old nephew, sort of liked it but said it was spicy.

    @champ103 - Glad you are visiting our state with my favorite month of weather each year, though surprised Moe doesn’t have a blanket or sweater on, probably to excited exploring to notice. :grin:

    Finishing my beer here, than a stop at the store, one final stop may be in my itinerary before heading home.

    Decent burger, liked the fries seasoning, $12 bucks for this and a solid Kolsch. I’ll be back soon.

    [​IMG]

    Cheers everyone, hope you are enjoying great weather and beers as we near Autumn.

    Highland Park Brewery -- Timbo Pils
    West coast pilsner with Mosaic and Citra hops
    ABV: 5.8%; pouring temperature: 45 °F: canning info: 08/04/23
    Source: Tavour

    [​IMG]

    4.02/5 rDev -5%
    look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

    Light, golden yellow body with a slight cloudiness; fair carbonation; thick, white head, sudsy and long lasting. Mildly spicy aroma with a slight infusion of fruity esters. Delightful flavors; biscuit-like malt backbone carrying notes of pine resin and tropical fruits; medium-light dose of hop bitterness rounds things out. Medium body; crisp.

    This beer does a nice job of combining German pilsner notes with west coast India pale ale elements. The taste really highlights things.
