What beer are you drinking now? #2298

Hello, old friend!

 

Super Bowl leftovers, wings, poppers, doggies and a second Jai-Alai. Nobody expects me to go deep, but I'm very thankful (no I'm not drunk) to be a member of a site where honesty is respected and everyone supports each other, much respect to @superspak (I'm sure he despises the attention). I'm on a bunch or Mustang and shooting sites to. At least 2-3 times a night on some of the Mustang sites it will go down as "oh yeah *************, bring you're fucking car to my town and I'll own your ass.....".....Peace peers....

 

Thanks @brutalfarce, getting down to the last few left. This was a fantastic NEIPA. Awesome rocky head retention/soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, and light peppercorn/pine hops; with balanced wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toasted malts; and herbal, floral, grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very creamy, silky, bready, grainy malts; light sticky hops, and slight lingering resins in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness. Super smooth/soft, minimal 7%. Amazing Citra/Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. I would buy this all the time if they were available! I love the hop profile as expected. 4.25


Cheers

 

Damn, the bastids don't distribute here

 

De Proefbrouwerij's Zwart Black Star.........Very interesting, but in a good way. Interesting spice, a mellow sourness.

 

i'm on my last hamm's my friends, and back up to my other bullshit. only one beer left in the fridge for the week and no money for more, hell i can hardly afford more food, think i'll save it. stay hydrated, pet a dog and rest well

 

Roots, we all got'um, whether is was for stouts/porters/sours/ipa's, etc......this was the start for me as far as IPA's go........still great, especially it's $2 per bottle grocery store price .......

 

Swish. Cheers

 

Fantastic flavored scotch ale. Great head retention/spotty lacing. Aromas and flavors of big amaretto, cherries, raisin, plum, fig, apricot, peach, pear, red apple, fruit pits, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, and brown bread; with lighter notes of coconut, licorice, leather, tobacco, herbal/grassy hops, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, amaretto bitterness; bourbon/oak tannin spiciness, and slight amaretto tang/tartness on the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy, silky, bready, grainy malts; light slickness, sticky hops, oak tannins, and amaretto tang in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/tart/tannic dryness, no cloying sweetness. Dangerously smooth, mild warmth of 11%, no barrel booze. Amazing balance of rich malts, amaretto flavor, and fruity yeast; with nice overall bourbon barrel presence/integration that isn't overdone. I can see a lot of people thinking the amaretto was super overpowering, but I thought it worked perfectly with the Scottish yeast profile. 4.25


Cheers

 

Ah fuck, I guess I’ll join the party. @TheIPAHunter give me the mic; @superspak pass me a Pliny... I actually just wrote out a massive account of my own mental health issues, but I don’t want to bore y’all, so I deleted it. In short, I suffer from mind crippling OCD. I am on medication (if I wasn’t I would be dead), I go to therapy, but I am also proudly a BA! I love this place and the community, it’s one thing that I have to look forward to. So I just want to say, ‘Spak, Hunter man, I feel you! Life is hell, but we do what we can. And if it wasn’t for this damned appendectomy, I’d cheers you sons of bitches right now!

 

Lost Tavern - Fresh Jams: Tangerine Creamsicle

 

For how much I complain about NEIPAs this is one brewery that keeps it interesting. They have actually worked their way into my top 5 breweries. Drinking a Double Toasted Marshmellow right now and its awesome.

 

Have only had one from them. Passed on that^ one as I imagined it as too sweet. Reviews seem to assuage my concerns, so may pick it up , if they continue to brew it. The one I did have , Multiflora, was quite good.

 

A big shout out to @DEdesings57 for this great IPA from Industrial Arts. Man, I love this brewery!

 

Mother's Brewing Hands Down Pale Ale, no tunes tonight, will require a reboot & I'm not feeling that right now...

 

Aurora Hoppyalis. Wish they all could be California beers.
