What beer are you drinking now? #2812

Been saving for a family get together. And it can’t be added to BA so it has been introduced as a forbidden beer!

 

The last time they brewed this, it was phenomenal. This batch is just a tad below, but not by much.Sweet and juicy. A ot of tropical fruit flavors. Overall, this is very good.

 

Utica Club Pilsener. I’ll have to wait for traveling to resume before I restock this. Cheers

 

I'm betting you can remember the day like it was yesterday, probably seems like it too.Cheers.

 

Poured into a 16 oz can shaped pint glass canned on 6/30/20. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace behind. 4.5

Smell coconut, vanilla, pineapple, and apricot simple and very pleasant. 4.5

Taste follows coconut dominates and it is really bold, pineapple, vanilla, and apricot. 4.5

Mouthfeel is big, soft carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 7% ABV it drinks bigger in flavor, but really hard to sip. 4.75

Overall if you don’t like coconut stay away, but if loving this is wrong I don’t want to be right. 4.5 Well done Kettlehead.

 

Cheers!

 

Hubbard's Cave Clean Pale on this hot breezy day. Cheers!

 

This brewery keeps putting out great and slightly different NEIPAs.

 

Chagrin Beer Company - Summer Daze White Ale (can).. cheers!

 

Got back from a grocery run. Found a few more hot sauces to try, love both of them! Went to my vape shop on the way back and got an Aegis Legend. I also forgot to get the 18650 batteries, so I went back and got 2 sets plus a wall charger. I love this mod a lot! Can go up to 200W. First time having removable batteries as well.


Ascension Fifth Stop. Awesome Hazy APA. Opaquely hazy green. Nice fluffy head retention/spotty foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toasted malts; and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel. Lightly increasing resin dryness; no hop astringency. Very smooth/soft, minimal warming 6% or lingering hop burn after the finish. Awesome Citra showcase. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Loved it. Ascension really has their haze game in the right ballpark.


Cheers

Starting my long weekend early with a Live Oak Pilz. Its stupid hot right now in Houston, so this helps a bit.

Spinning the Sleater-Kinney album One Beat. Love this band, what got me wanting to listen to this today was seeing the Lindsay Ellis video Protest Music in the Bush Era. Of coarse this wasn't one she talked about cause she was focusing on more popular music of the time, that had political bent, but this was released after 9/11 and about that confusing and different kind of hell from that period.


Lindsay Ellis' video, long but she is always great.

 

Not what I was expecting, listed as a Strong Belgian Dark Ale. I missed "Wild" in the description on the bottle. Drinks more like vinegar than beer. Doubt I'll finish it.

 

That Feeling You Get. DIPA from Track Brewing (Manchester).
Cheers!

 

Happy birthday to the youngest. You must've gotten a later start than me. Of my eight grandchildren the oldest is 22. Cheers.

 

Happy Thursday and the start of my long 4 day weekend - yea!

May as well have one of my favorite summery and local beers to start!



warm and sunny and temps in the low 90s for the foreseeable future - I see lots of these, and some Shandy's and light lagers in my days ahead.....cheers!!
