Hits the spot!

 

Rudolf the Hophead Reindeer.
Now this is a Christmas beer I like. Piney IPA. Somewhat funny under-taste of fresh lemonade. Pine is what remains in the taste.
Cheers!

Two Roads: Two Juicy

 

Odd 13 Intergalactic Juice Hunter in my Outer Range glass because my brother in law somehow managed to break the proper one I bought last weekend. A good reason to go back and visit the brewery! Excuse me while I enjoy this tasty hazebro in the 60 degree sunshine.

 

Excellent Baltic. Great head retention/soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of coffee, chili peppers, raisin, plum, fig, date, and herbal/grassy hops. Mild herbal, grassy, roasted bitterness; fruit tang/tartness; and chili pepper spice on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy, silky, velvety malts; light sticky hops, chalky roast, and fruit tang/acidity in the mouthfeel. Slightly increasing lingering bitter/tart/tangy dryness, no cloying. Zero warming 8.5%. Minimal lingering pepper heat through the glass. Perfectly clean lagering, no yeasty notes. Really impressive, spot on style. Awesome balance of jammy rapberries, vanilla, and rich malt complexity; with mild hops and chili pepper presence on the finish. Loved it. 4.05

Great pictures!
There is so much going on that it captivates one’s attention.

 

Awesome Gueuze. Nice fluffy head retention/spotty lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wet wood, leather, and musty funk; with some wheat, cracker, white bready malts; light white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation, light-medium body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malt, lactic acid, wine tang, and oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing acidic/tangy/tannic/carbonated dryness, no pucker. Very smooth, not overly lactic, minimal warming 8%. Completely classic tasting Gueuze funky Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great oak presence, and pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. No residual sweetness from crisp dryness. They know how to do it. 4.1


Cheers
