What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2319

2nd attempt at this beer. I drainpoured it the first time because with something so prominent: "TART IPA", it did not match my expectations.

Having this a couple weeks later, here's my thoughts:

- This is really a Brut IPA as the primary profile. It's super dry, crisp and deceivingly light in flavor.
- Towards the tail end of the palate and in the aftertaste, you do get a brush of fruit (pineapple apparently) and a hint of tartness that's so mild that I question if I'm tasting it. I do, but it's brisk and fleeting.

In the end, this official SF Beer Week beer is an experiment like always, but it's not one of the better Brut IPAs I've had. The pineapple & tartness is a bit peculiar, and I'm glad I only picked up two cans and this is my last.

 

Gulden Draak 9000 quadruple.
Cheers!

 

Post lunch beer, a pour from yesterday’s growler - “Cannon Park Quad” by Munkle Brewing Co., Charleston SC:



An American made Quad that could compete with TR10 and Westy12, smooth and delicious! I’m told this will be the GABF (2019) entry...who knows, maybe another gold in the future?

 

Sometimes Sam NEIPA is your best choice and not a bad option in a pinch.

 

With @SawDog505 on that one.
A Sam Adams NE IPA.



Cheers

 

Granite Falls Hoppalachia. Pretty decent, nothing revolutionary, but enjoyable all the same. Will have to clean up melted plastic out of an oven after this lunch.

 

Yazoo brewing Hefeweizen. I'm liking this more than I remember liking this so an updated review may be in order.

 

A nice little sour from Switzerland.
Cheers!!!

 

Needed something warm and toasty on this windy, ice cold day. This is definitely doing the trick, and cranking the heat up to 11. I'm really enjo...wait...what's that smell? Is something burning?? FIRE!!!

Oh, it's just the smoke alarm... Damn beer.

 

Wasn't Ted Nugent in that band? That is one crazy fu**er.

One could conclude the reason you"think we had a great time." What you really mean to say is I do not remember a whole lot about that night. But it had to be a good time.

I have attended many concerts in the day (one of the reasons my hearing sucks) but none with Nugent. Not by design though.

 

Voodoo Ranger - Cheers !

(Just for @GreenBayBA) !

 

Certified Grade NEDIPA in this glass.

 

Westbrook’s “Rinse Repeat Idaho 7” IPA:



Canned 2/4/19. Tics all the NEIPA boxes. Turbid. Juicy grapefruit pineapple melon with a dank low bitterness. And Idaho 7 doesn’t smell/taste oniony like many beers I’ve had hopped with Mosaic. Pillowy but not oppressive. I’d drink another one of these...Cheers!

 

Haven't bought any Stone beer since the Northern Lights Rare Beer Fest a couple years ago when they irked me. Now and again one will be left in my basement fridge after our monthly poker game. Found this bastard and decided I am worthy. Cheers.

 

Seems you love tormenting that poor kid! I have not had Voodo Ranger in awhile but since you drink so many I may have to try one again.
