What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2113

Barrier's Kickin' Knowledge, a 7% milk shake-style IPA, canned 7/24, brewed for Burgerology, featuring Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops with vanilla and coconut...

 

Enjoying another of these regional Pineapple IPA’s.

That's one of their offerings I have not had yet, but I have liked their others. I will now seek it out. Thanks for the recomendation. I like the style.

 

Oh good grief - Is it that time of year already ?

Might be in reference to a recent post I made. Fast is fine. There just needs to be some sort of melodic thing along w it instead of just banging loud & fast.

 

I've been looking forward to trying this beer. Going to enjoy it while watching the CrossFit Games

 

I guess I am one of the rare ones... I've been a member for so long and gone through so many iterations my numbers were basically unchanged. Seen a lot in 14 years. Still, Champion is a very worthy title and requires a lot to get to. Here's hoping you get more back when everything shakes out,

 

Amazing PB porter! Glad these are in cans now. Aromas and flavors of huge peanut butter, milk chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, and toasted dark bread; with lighter notes of smoke, dark fruit, and herbal hops. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; very creamy/bready and fairly silky malt mouthfeel; light sticky hops and chalky roast. Lightly increasing lingering hop/roast bitter dryness. Very rich for 6.2%. Tons of PB and coffee flavor, with great balance of the base porter. Spot on style. Will be buying this a lot, glad we get Hoppin' Frog in MI now. An old hometown favorite brewery for sure. They make some of the best Russian imperial stouts.


Super new Stillwater IPA. Very nice as expected. Flavors of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Similar/muted aromas. Light pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; bready/grainy wheat/oat and light sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Slight resins/rinds near the end of the glass. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Very drinkable, not overly aggressive, 6.5%. Nice soft feel. This tastes like 100% Simcoe hops. Well done NEIPA. Juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy balanced hop complexity; nice spelt/oat/pale malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Rarely been disappointed by their IPAs lately.


Cheers

 

Oh, definitely give it a shot, it's straight up a well made beer. Fwiw, based on the label I expected something a lot hoppier than it is, but it's really at Pils levels and not overdone at all. With this style you shouldn't promise an "explosion of hops" in the first place, but I guess that's the times we're living in...

ETA: it actually says "hoppy explosion" on the label. I really should be more judicious in my use of quotation marks, it would seem.

 

What about when you were young, you know, just after the wheel was invented and we were neighbors ?

 

Yes! That's exactly what I'm hearing- glad someone else gets it too!

 

What's up Peeples!
Popping a squat at the VR bar tonight.
Been away for a few, life and what not.
Wife's b-day is tomorrow. Plus my pops just retired from the city of Detroit the other day. Haven't had a chance to catch up with him and drink a few beers, but this one's for him tonight. CHEERS!



Alot going on these last few and up coming weeks. Always is every year.

But great to be back drinking with you putz's again
