    1) Toppling Goliath Mosaic Mamba (8.5% 9/30/25): A NEIPA from Iowa with Mosaic and Galaxy for flavors of orange, melon, and mango. Smooth.
    versus
    2) The Veil whiteferrari (8.0% canned 12/11/25): A NEIPA from Virginia with Citra and Galaxy for flavors of orange, pineapple, melon. (Correctly matched the two blind)

    Toppling Goliath versus The Veil with Galaxy. First is Mosaic Mamba with Mosaic. Nice berry and floral notes from Mosaic here.
    Next is The Veil, Citra and Galaxy. My first try at this. Lots of creamy orange, pineapple, melon, mango. Balanced and the Citra and Galaxy complement each other well here. Some citrus pith and a smooth finish.
    Both are similar, but can tell the difference between the Mosaic and Citra. Not a huge Galaxy fan, but I think it's a nice complement hop meaning it supports other more prominent hops without providing too much assertive flavors.
    My last Mosaic Mamba unfortunately, and I'm not sure how they make this defy age. Toppling Goliath hasn't had a release in a while, so interested to see what they release next. I do miss Fire, Skulls, & Money.
    Winner: Toppling Goliath Mosaic Mamba

    Juicy Refills hazy at Poor House. It’s … not bad, but not a totally clean ferment.

    had a jones for some OH, wondering what @beerloserLI thinks about TH to OH.
    TH is the OG, but I enjoy a OH respite
    Special thanks to @Ocalafox , @GreenBayBA for all of Saturday’s brews!
    It got me thru!
    I thought this weekends NFL games were very exciting!
    1) sad for Bo Nix, that truly sucks
    2) holy shit Caleb Williams was awesome, last TD of the game was crazy
    3) Rams, dang! Hung in which is essential
    4) Bills: blame to go around, super bummer, repercussions felt everywhere around here
    5) NE, deserved
    6) Texans CJ let you down in a big way, terrible
    7) Seahawks ,,, I was still in shock to watch

    all good here, I think

    cheers BAs !

    Agreed. Our cats are insiders, the dogs are sizable (some pleasantly plump :grin:), and the eagles/hawks haven't attacked the chickens and ducks yet thankfully, but we do get concerned about some of the smaller animals that other pet owners let run amok in the area :grimacing::slight_frown:

    ...I'm with you on that...I currently have two bottles of Taylor Small Batch...would love to find Single Barrel again...but I digress...you are correct (in my opinion) that Taylor bourbons are a fine value...I'm still a fan boy of WT 101, OGD 114, and Four Roses bourbons, too...yet, like, beer, there are so many out there, so little time to enjoy 'em all...
