SAVAGES v3

I guess I was the guy that was one off. Received a sweet box from @Bum4ever today



I had no clue Rare Barrel switched to smaller format bottles. Went there 3 years ago, walked around the whole block like an idiot before I found the entrance, but still had fun there. Love the Moonraker, Alvarado St, and Humble Sea I've gotten to try. Gonna get to know Bare Bottles with these 3 cans. Thanks again Josh. Sorry you aren't going on your beer trip, but there will always be next year (we all hope)

 

And now its my turn to get an LIF going. Its a two part math game:

1) The Dallas Mavericks play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday (8/8) in a preview of the NBA finals. Find the sum of Luka Doncic's points, rebounds, and assists for that game.

2) @Bum4ever and @CanConPhilly have breathalyzers. They are going to drink this Friday and Saturday (well, they drink on any day that ends with a y, but I digress). Find the highest BAC (blood alcohol content) that either of them will blow in those two days.

Multiply the two numbers together from 1 and 2 and that is your guess.

Ex: If Luka has 81 points, 23 rebounds, and 17 assists, 81+23+17 = 121
If Josh blows a BAC of 0.23 (what the hell are you drinking Josh?!?) on Friday, and thats the highest of both guys in two nights, then your guess will be 121 x 0.23 = 17.23

Guesses close on Thursday. Have fun! And be safe for those of you in the path of Isaias

And finishing with a gif for my homeboy @Joplamp

Another blind from @Joplamp
I’ll venture this is a Speciation based on bottle shape and the big tart aroma.
Pink with a thick bubbly pink head. Definitely some fruit.
I’d be really surprised if there wasn’t blueberries. Tart and juicy, but also something more sweet and earthy.
Full fledged tartness and light citrusy acid with a touch of wood.
Great so far Jordan, thanks!

I got the blueberry right! Currants probably added the earthiness I was tasting. Got jammy as it warmed. Blackberry is a tough one when mixed, but I think I can get some of that now that it’s warmed.
Great brew!
Thanks Jordan @Joplamp

 

I'll go with 3.8 and forward to @FFFjunkie thanks!

 

I'm a little late in posting this blind from @jhavs . Here we go:

Lots of carb on this and kind of a hazy pour. Aroma seemed like hot pepper at first. Then lime, and maybe salt. Could not pick out the familiar aroma though. So I was thinking gose, but when I tasted it it was not really sour or salty. Did not taste like peppers. Some lime in there though. No trace of alcohol. Doesn't really taste like beer which is throwing me off. My guess is a margarita beer but I could not tell you any style.

Damn, I was not even close on the style. This was a fun one Jon, I would never have guessed grisette. Cheers!

 

Had to post this here to properly thank @GC2020


Couldn’t think of a better beer to celebrate the birth of my first born son than to slay this whale I never thought I’d try. This beer is fantastic, thank you again for your generosity Paul!

 

LIF is closed. Time for @Bum4ever and @CanConPhilly to drink!

 

Another blind one from @Joplamp

Right off the bat you could smell the big juicy hops. OJ, citrus rind and zest, ripe tropical fruits. Thick body, sweet. I’m gonna say it’s a DIPA based on the body and sweetness that’s sticking around.
Lightly bitter at the end, but juicy and smooth.

I will guess this is Arvon based on previous brews @Joplamp has sent me. From the flavor and aroma I’m gonna say this has a lot of Citra and maybe some Galaxy providing the ripe fruitiness.
