Humble Sea (2021)

Did anyone try to go for the triple can release today? Only two are out so far. Waiting on Courage the Cowardly Fog. Worried the other two will sell out before I can pick up all 3! Ugh

 

CTCF was pretty solid. Nice single hazy/foggy.....

 

Thanks! I was able to get a 4pk and thought the same. Very enjoyable. Although, of the 3 released at that time, The Wizard of Fog was my favorite!

 

Another solid single Citra/Strata hopped ipa in KERMIT the FOG.

 

Haven't had much Humble Sea since the summer, but picked up Boatloads of Citra and Courage the Cowardly Fog today. Looking forward to trying them this weekend, as I've generally really liked Humble Sea's IPAs.

 

Another solid Foggy single IPA. Hungry Like the Wolf EEL. Double dry-hopped Riwaka, El Dorado, and Centennial.

 

Mixing it up.... a WEST COAST from Humble Sea.

Salmon Says, DDH Double WC IPA. Citra, Galaxy, and Huell Melon hops. 8.7%. Very modern hybrid type WC.

 

This one bordering on the Excellent range. Westminster Fog Show, Foggy DIPA double dry-hopped and fused with El Dorado, Citra, and Wai-iti

Huge juice up front. Very smooth. Low to no bitterness on finish.

 

Well, this one went into the excellent range. SUPER JUICE BAG Dipa.

Citra and Galaxy juice bomb up front. Very smooth. Hard to believe this was 9%.

 

Like a broken record here.... yet again, another good /solid hazy ipa. KOOK SKYFOGGER. Riwaka, Nelson, and Wakatu. Nelson hops seem to stand out the most in the juice up front and the diesel finish.

 

Free shipping....tomorrow only....at 9am for orders of $40 or more. Cali only. Hoping they drop more cans but solid nonetheless.

 

Saw Humble Sea cans down here (north SD county) for the first time, so I bought a 4pk of Walk the Plankton. It was just OK for me, not worth the premium price.

 

Check out their tipas if they make it down. I’m not the biggest fan of humble sea, but have been very impressed with their Tipas

probably going to be drinking them a lot more with the new pacifica location, that’s 10 min from my house! If cans linger that is.

I don’t like their pricing on their non ba stouts, seem very pricey for what you get, but I know a few kook members that have been living their stouts

 

Cracked open a Boatloads of Citra and really dug it, slightly dank and a little soft in the mouth.

I saw on Instagram they were going to offer free shipping in CA on Thursday for certain orders so I might just take them up on that.

 

They are far more known for their FOGGY/Hazy IPAs. Hopefully you can try one of those next. If you look at the pics posted above, about 90% are foggy/hazy.

Walk the Plankton was one of their few West Coast Clear IPAs. I thought it was solid, but you wouldn't really get the feel of Humble Sea's beers from that one.

And like @KevSal mentioned, if you like Smooth Hazy Triples, Humble has those pretty dialed in.

 

...and on that note......lol...

FFFOOOGGG DDH Foggy DIPA. Citra, Motueka, and Riwaka. 8.3%. Big Citrus/Tropical upfront. Some bite on the backed, but pretty smooth for 8%+.

 

I saw their IG story from yesterday that they're not having a Thursday release this week but instead are having the "free shipping" promo. Still some good stuff available, even if it's very "foggy" IPA-heavy.

 

Props to HS for their upcoming SECOND location opening in Pacifica. Interesting location, but probably better for most Bay Area folks to avoid that nasty 17.

Does anybody know precisely where the Pacifica taproom will be located? I don't see an address listed anywhere yet.
