What beer are you drinking now? #4396

Cheers for getting us started. The only bad thing about an earlier NBW opening is your prose filled openers. We are supposed to be in Autumn by now, Still highs in the 20s ( C ) & the lows are taking their sweet ass time about getting down near 0. For the most part, closer to 8. At least the drought appears to be breaking

 

Play some Skynyrd!!!

or I will

 

A little soccer this morning. Cheers all.

 

AM hot tub, slept in to 0600



Finally figured out to do with some old, tired beers, Micheladas!

No pic, you know what they look like. The featured beer

 

The situ in my back yard Southeast corner

I do like the fact my Neighbors still have their Halloween Lights going makes more sense than the weirdos breaking Christmas stuff already

Nap time after this

 

Well, I'll be here and on NBW in a few hours from Wisconsin. Sadly, I'm going alone. My friend isn't feeling good. I told him I'd get goodies for him.

 

Good morning.

Alder Beer Co. (Seregno, ITA) - KIWI PARTY - New Zeland IPA (6%)

44 cl can (7€) packaged a week before tasting.
India Pale Ale, mainly produced in the summer, in which only New Zealand hops are selected year after year. The malts are of German origin (Pils, Vienna, Cara and the addition of a small percentage of wheat), while the yeast is of Anglo-Saxon origin.
As soon as the can is opened, fragrant summer and tropical aromas (petals, white peach, melon, pineapple) and a lighter note of citrus peel.
A beautiful golden color, practically transparent except for a light haze.
Fragrant foam and the right amount, although with little structure.
In the mouth, a beer that makes freshness its strong point: medium body, overflowing taste that ranges from pineapple to mango, from melon to papaya that invade the palate and end with a decisive citrus bitterness (grapefruit, cedar).
The bitter note arrives like a cleaver blow to break the extreme tropical fruitiness (similar to Ace juice - Orange Carrot Lemon) of the initial taste (not like in products strictly indicated as "modern") and has a clear peak that also leaves a pleasant bitter aftertaste (more citrus than herbaceous) on the tongue, while on the palate the tropical notes remain in the background.
A beer with a crisp and explosive taste, it transmits all its freshness.
Fruity, fragrant, bitter, all while maintaining a perfect balance.
I think it would also be appreciated on the other side of the ocean, in these conditions of freshness.





Sláinte.
Cheers.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for opening the bar this evening/morning and to @Jack_14, excellent review!

Off to another cool morning - may get up to 50F later today - if it doesn't rain, I may burn some more leaves - my ginko and sycamore have mostly dropped, but my neighbor's red oak and red maple are still hanging on.



Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Finally! A non-NEIPA from the latest BA Big Beer Box!

Final impression and summation: 3.75 Good for the style – the advertised raspberry is marked, the pineapple MIA.
Rating 3.55, rDev -11.9%

 

Happy to join the first page crew this AM! Cheers -

 

Leftover from last year while watching Saving Private Ryan. Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

I tried to tell @MacMalt that his team easily had a chance in the "South's Oldest Rivalry" last week. Sadly, it wasn't much of a game to watch (though gladly I couldn't watch it).

I don't have to tell my second team's opponent's fans they have a chance against the currently third ranked team. They've done it almost every year, and I have only bare hopes that today is an anomaly and this week's "game of the year" goes to the home team.

Settling in already with this...

 

Good Saturday BA's! Thanks @AzfromOz for getting us going.
Joining @Shanex with a Duvel.



Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

Quaffing Shiner Ruby Redbird.

 

Happy sunny Saturday BAs

My first pick from this Shiner Holiday 12 pk of mixed beers - this Pecan Porter is great!
