What beer are you drinking now? #1936

Drinking a Space Dust and packing @connecticutpoet 's box!

 

Southern Tier's Choklat.

 

Your Spanish is getting much better!

 

Assuming everyone else is in the same boat, you should be fine. Same thing happened for a Sole release in December with bad weather. 'Went the next day and plenty of cans were left. !

 

Good evening BA, hope everyone had a good hump day. Pretty mellow work day once again. Total gridlock morning commute, but the afternoon was much better. Made my usual mid week bottle returns and mini beer haul after work. Nothing new today, so I just grabbed some fresh M43 and a couple BA stouts.

Today's reviews:

Delicious hoppy pale lager. Fantastic head retention and lasting thick soapy lacing down the glass. Flavors of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, citrus zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Similar/muted aromas. Mild pine, herbal, grassy, zesty bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation, light-medium body, and moderately crisp/clean finishing. Bready/grainy malts and light sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing lingering bitter dryness. Perfectly clean lagering, never yeasty. Very flavorful/refreshing, 4.7%. Never watery. I'd buy this again, would be a great summer beer. Nicely vibrant hop complexity, with a clean and balanced wheat/bready malt backbone. They list Cascade, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe; and it definitely has a solid amount of that character going on. Not super hoppy, but enough to notice and still feel like a pale lager. Really well made. 3.91


Very nice American brown ale. Great head retention/lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of nutty medium roast coffee, caramel, honey, brown sugar, and toasted brown bread; with lighter notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, smoke, dark fruit, and herbal/grassy/peppery hops. A bit muted aromas. Light-moderate herbal/grassy/spicy hop and roasted coffee bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; nice creamy/bready/grainy malt mouthfeel; light sticky hops and chalky roast. Lightly increasing bitter/roasted dryness, no acrid/astringency. Very easy drinking, 5.5%. Great fruity/nutty coffee complexity, balanced with a classic brown ale malt profile, honey, and a fair amount of earthy hops. Not too roasty. Spot on stuff. 3.88


White Flame brewing, Lupulunatic IPA. Really enjoy these labels. Excellent stuff! Amazing lasting head retention and thick soapy lacing the whole glass. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with balanced caramel, toasted bread malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; balanced creamy/bready malts and sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light resins/rinds, increasing bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Extremely drinkable for 7.5%, never aggressive. Super juicy and light dank hop complexity; nice dark/bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Very Midwest style IPA on the malts. Cascade, Citra, and Mosaic hops. Absolutely nails what I wanted to taste. Love the hop profile as expected. 4.03


DuClaw/Androit Theory Collab super quad. This was awesome! Great head retention and lacing for the ABV, crystal clear very dark brown. Aromas and flavors of big raisin, plum, prune, fig, cherry, date, pear, apricot, red apple, red grape, and light pepper/clove yeast; with balanced caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, dark/brown bread, and nutty malts; with lighter notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, smoke, herbal/grassy hops and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness and light herbal/grassy/roast bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy/bready/grainy malts, some sticky hops/yeast; slight slickness and chalky roast. Lightly increasing bitter/spicy dryness; no cloying sweetness. Dangerously smooth sipping, minimal warming 13%. Super rich with fruity/spicy yeast and balanced dark/bready malt complexity; well attenuated and not overly sweet for the big ABV. Nice adequate drying. Really spot on stuff, though a touch on the roasty side. 4.1


Cheers

Here's a new discovery. Made a Ne Obliviscaris Pandora station today, this is Prog Death Metal.

 

My wife and I took a drive to NJ on Monday. The purchase of these beers were quite innocent. Honest! It wasn't until earlier today that I thought about it. I'm drinking the Boat, she's enjoying the Hoe's

 

Thats just good humor there. Kudos.

 

We Are All Infinite Energy Vibrating At The Same Frequency, cheers!

 

Last call here ba. Getting some grub together and I grabbed another 4pack of this today. Not the greatest ddh ipa out there but still to good to just sit there. Money Mad Fat, collabo between barrier/interboro. 1/22/18,

 

You may wish to withhold judgement on Toppling Goliath until you try King Sue, Sosus, FS&M, and DDH PseudoSue. If there is an IPA competition, Florida PS, MDH PS, and X-Hops Gold are not who Toppling Goliath is sending to the ring.

 

Jesus!

Tune

 

Hope you're right. I'll try to duck out of work early tomorrow. Magnify's releasing two of its best: Intergalactic and Contractual Obligation.

 

Get better young man!

 

Most of their stuff is pretty tasty...

 

Man that's deep Larry, so what's the name of the beer?

 

At Porter's Steakhouse in the Doubletree Hotel in Collinsville, IL, this uber fresh Bell's Two Hearted Ale is tickling my fancy. Yummy.

 

Thanks for the clips. My dad took me and my younger brother to the movie when it came out. The cinematography, and music, was breathtaking then, and now. Cheers!

 

Might have let this go slightly too long, it's gotten a little sweet.

 

Loved the ones I purchased up in Wisconsin this year, didn't find that same magic when I was at the Production Tap room in FL or the others I tried packaged that week. Hopefully they will work out the bugs. I am not sure when I will be in WI gain any time soon, but my brother lives in Florida...
