    [​IMG] Most people know about my love for Kettlehead and especially for The Agent. This is DDH Agent with Galaxy and good lord.

    Pours a hazy yellow orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves massive gobs of lace as it slowly settles. Canned on 2/18/2020. 4.75

    Smell is guava, tangerine, pineapple, blueberry, and apricot really really nice! 4.75

    Taste follows guava, papaya, tangerine, pineapple, a hint of blueberry, and apricot with little bitterness, but really juicy. 4.75

    Mouthfeel is bigger than average, sticky not dry, soft subtle carbonation, and at 7% drinks more like 8%, but so crazy drinkable. 4.75

    Overall regular Agent is a world class flag ship NEIPA, but this is at the next level. Just bursting with flavor and so hard to just sip because you are dying for the next sniff and taste. 4.75

    It's carnival season in Cologne right now, which is why I shall endeavor to leave the house as little as possible over the coming days. Here's an interesting little tidbit: There are an average of 30 million litres of Kölsch consumed in Cologne during the 5 days of the carnival, compared to 21 million litres on average per month.

    This was actually kind of a pleasant surprise after the last of these Aldi cans. Not great, but not terrible either, pretty drinkable, actually, with a decent balance of wheaty malt, estery yeast and citrus hops.

    90 minutes of dental work (as a patient), and I think I've earned another Braincake.

    Hard to drink when about 70% of my mouth is still numb, but I'm willing to put in the work. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Cheers!

    Having a Schiehallion Lager from Harviestoun Brewery (Scotland). Single beer I brought home from Glasgow recently. A (somewhat educated) random pick in the supermarket.
    Surprisingly good for a lager. Even the best lager I've ever had so far.The piney notes make it even awesome to me :slight_smile:
    Cheers!

    Yea, they say .5 inches and it snows a foot.
    They say a foot and it turns out to be rain.
    Also Charlotte is in full panic mode.
    As usual.

    You never know with Aldi. But here in NL most of the time they just have the cheapest industrial lagers. Years ago they had Tuborg for about 50 cents. Not anymore :slight_frown:

    Good luck with the carinival. We have it here too, but only in the most southern part of the country. Offices around there are understaffed or just closed completely, at least in the morning :slight_smile:

    It's starting to cover the grass here, don't know how much we'll end up getting. I'm sure the NC National Guard is on high alert.

    Went to our old grocery store after lunch, looking for, inter alia, fresh Jai Alai:

    I haven’t bought any Jai Alai recently due to nothing fresher than 6 weeks in the stores...at nine days old I’ll take:

    Cheers from hot (82 degrees) and sunny St. Pete!

    Do you go to the 'O' for dogs and beer?
    I used to love that place a lifetime ago.
    Is it still there?

    Good afternoon, all! Drinking alfresco, with a stein :rolling_eyes: of Light Hearted. This, my friends, is some good stuff. Paired with spicy California roll and lime-flavored cassava chips. Why? Because I'm all in on grocery store impulse buys. (That probably explains a lot of my food-beer pairings, now that I think about it.) At any rate... Cheers!

    After I left the Italian market this morning, I got sucked into Tyson's Punch-out, then Tecmo Bowl. I need a f*cking break, especially since I haven't really been gaming in months. I think I need an IPA. Cheers, advocates!

    It's in Oakland on the Pitt Campus. College girls galore!
    Ahem, I was 30 years younger at the time.
    Memories.

    Unless you mean “O”’s in downtown Pittsburgh? We used to go there in the early 1980’s after the bars closed in Morgantown WV for foot longs and ‘rings...great times - surprised we lived to talk about it decades later - cheers!
