What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4358

Shout out to my RIS dogs on here and @vabeerguy and @russpowell
Post Deadlift meal

 

Fieldwork Pulp IPA (Citra). My first time trying these guys and it doesn't disappoint. Saturated Citra goodness. Big orange character in the form of valencia orange juice and peel and clementine, as well as ruby red grapefruit, passionfruit, rose water, pineapple, earthiness, grass. Soft and silky. Dry with a pleasantly bitter finish. Those California breweries just know how to brew a hoppy beer.

 

You guys are making me feel inferior. I don't have that kind of recall of what a beer was like years ago compared to now.

 

I'll chime in on this one, as I lived and grew up near 3 Floyds. ZD was way better back in the day. Not even close. I know palates change over the years, but this is a clear difference. It's still a solid option, but back in it's heyday it was truly world class and an excellent showcase of the Citra hop when the hop was fairly new to the craft beer scene. I'll never forget trying it for the first time on draft. Crazy experience. @Prager62 @eppCOS @TwilightBeerCareer

 

Well, I must admit Zombie Dust is a special occasion beer for me now, beings it's over my self imposed beer budget. Along with many other beers I really like, but don't like the price.

 

Hey young man, how are doing? What are you hitting in the deadlift? Doing any singles or mostly just low reps?

 

This stuff is rather impressive. Cheers all.

 

Wethop with Strata hops. Really good. Cheers!

 

I like it, but I doubt I'll buy it again. I'm not fond of the hop bill described as "new school hops". But I'm not sorry I tried it.

 

Just me and my Urquell for the remainder of the evening.

Once you pop, you can't stop... or something like that haha!!



Cheers Heathens!

 

Do you sing to your beer, @Roguer?

 

Drinking a TG Term Oil -Vanilla . Whoa one of the best (vanilla) I’ve had. , in terms of vanilla/marshmallow to bourbon barrel balance ,its very good but pricey @$29. Will be watching the Fever/sun’s game coming up shortly .

 

The Bruery's Cire Blenders Choice........Big rich beer with lots of bourbon and raisins notes.

 

Clearly intuitive as usual with a great read on the situation, sir!

Coal-walking is typically our rite of initiation here at the pit. Obviously.

Tonight's attendees were all members of high degree in our order.




P.s. this stuff has always fascinated me.

We got any Freemason BAs kicking around?!

Cheers!

 

So I’m going to chime in on the ZD conversation. I enjoyed a few from a trade at least 10 or more years ago and was blown away by the balance between the malt and the hops, which were of a citrus and pineapple taste and very prominent. Fast forward to a month ago, when I asked my brother to bring some back from his trip to Indiana. The taste was malt and a lot of bitterness, with little of the more fruity hops I remembered. And the cans were fresh. I don’t know if my memory is tricking me or the profile on ZD has changed.

 

Yeah that and TG Sue were the two best Citra APA’S ( or just brews to buy) 12 years ago, both are good now but nothing like they were . @Prager62

 

I would love that. Hit me up.
