What beer are you drinking now? #4890

Smells fruity but tastes dry. I like it but it burns

Good morning... night

 

A nursable beer

 

Day off work today, which is a good thing. The apartment is getting sprayed for roaches tomorrow. We never had this problem here till the last 3 years. It is a pain in the rear to get everything out of the kitchen and bathroom to prepare. Annoying as hell. Time for a beer before I finish up the kitchen.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for keeping the bar open! And I agree - give me a clearly indicated "Brewed/Bottled/Canned on" date, not aBB date or even worse, a string of undefined numbers.

Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Burning Phoenix Jalapeno (2025) from 11th Hour Brewing. 16 fl oz can, purchased 26/02/26 from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA. $ 4.75 (Including tax)/$ 0.297/fl oz. In reefer at distributor, stored at 40 degrees F at home. Reviewed 10/03/26, review 3702.
Final impression and summation: 3.75 Uncredited label art. Like most jalapeno peppers, this is very vegetal with some heat – not what I’d call hot but just kind of harshly spicy. When it first came out (2018/2019), I don’t think “Chili Beer” was a style. It could be easily improved by charring the peppers before adding them – IMHO, a little smoke would certainly ameliorate the general harshness.
Rating 3.68, rDev -1.1%

 

Oh man. I am waaay overdue for some Chili Beer.

 

Cheers

 

Pretty much everything is done in the kitchen. Time for my next beer.

 

Jupiler Pils.
Cheers

 

Happy cloudy warm Tuesday BAs

This is hitting the spot - could drink these bad boys year round!

 

Alright then. My final electrical inspection passed with flying colors so now the final building inspection is last and that's in 24 hrs. Whew! I hate all this sh*t. But what I do not loathe are the ultra fine beers that our lovely European friends produce. I thank you! And I feel lucky to be here and lucky to be able to have and to buy these beers. XXOO

Ranked #5 on the site. It is a model for the style and is easily one of the best beers I've ever had. Because of @Todd we have decades of compiled data that guides lil' old me to right down to the glass to help ensure and to eek out (with yer geek out) the optimum way to enjoy a beer. This beer! Ha! Amazing.
BA sez/recommends using a tulip glass for this style. A Duvel glass will have to suffice.
Gently rolling the bottle to loosen the bed of sedi prior to the pour & swirl. I want all one million parts of the parts per million....
