    You are absolutely correct my friend. Never seem to click on all cylinders at once. I hope you are right about tonight. Bundy needs a good game to get some confidence.

    Too darn hot to take a picture outdoors.
    It's Friday, with a weekend off, Ready for some golf.
    This BP Barmy is an interesting beer. A golden ale with apricot and honey, with a seemingly insane 12% ABV.

    Oh hell no, they're back and still out there. I had this one ready to go and then I had happier thoughts, but since you said something I'll just put it out there...

    Watch the skies and don't talk to any strangers offering free beer!

    Cheers!

    Halfway through the 6er & it turns out the GF likes this one much more than I do. Not to say it's bad stuff, just that there's so many better options out there :-)

    As always- Drink up & drink on, my fellow advocates!

    Nice! I somehow feel now that all is right with the world, I was doubting it all after listening to a certain speech last night.

    Nice! I'll be interested in what you think.

    Decided to grab one while I could. Bottled on 6/36/2016 - so that's what (... 3, 4, thumb,...) July 6th-ish? :wink:

    Hmmm - maybe it's my palate tonight. This offering seems a little more smoothed out than the more raw, old school West Coast IPA I recall. Still a little cold, though, already a little warmth is bringing out some fruity notes.

    Edit: after getting through most of it, definitely a decent beer, but I do feel it's been "modernized" like Starr Hill's Northern Lights. I stand by my "smoother" impression, but a nice beer still for being widely available to the masses.

    It's time to play guess where I am now!
    Clue #1, it's surrounded by water
    [​IMG]
    Clue #2 they have stores like this
    [​IMG]
    Clue #3 their local beer comes in 10oz cans, and goes down really fast so I had to get another so I could actually be drinking it "NOW"

    •If you guessed Puerto Rico you are correct!

    Your post almost reads like one of my NOVA weather-report posts :grinning:
    I'm in Falls Church - Whereabouts are you? If you don't mind my asking, of course. :-)

    Wow, nice to know you grabbed one for me when you had an alternate means of disposing them. I let the GF have the old IPAs (she doesn't mind them - still finds them better than other styles in many cases, though she likes them fresher).

    Totally agree with you on the assessment - won't have trouble finishing the sixer, but won't grab another... unless it is my palate tonight. :astonished:

    I rarely post here anymore, but this beer is so good and has so much quality needed to post.

    I'm blessed to live on the Fairfax/Chantilly line about a mile from the Total Wine in Greenbriar.

    All squeaky clean now, or at least as clean as I get :grinning:. Won't have to do that for another 6 months. :grimacing: Drinking this nice blonde Ale that tastes nothing like a blonde ale while contemplating the nawing burning sensation in my right side. :slight_frown:

    After a long, tiring day at work on this scorching July evening, I'm enjoying some light, sweet, and incredibly tart! I can't believe this is 8.3%... Happy Friday, cheers all!
