What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2891

Moving on to the heavy lifting portion of today's Oktoberfest tasting

I really enjoy both of these beers. Cheers all!

 

It’s going to be a good day. A little plumbing project this morning, then checking out the new brewery in town this afternoon. The beer is Trouble No More, an Imperial Stout from Eagle Park Brewing with toasted coconut, cacao nibs, and almonds.
Smells like straight Amaretto with an extra splash of almond extract.

 

A few morning tasks completed, a sunny break with Marie.
Do good
Be well

 

Waiting on my wife to get ready for this wedding we're heading to. I figure if I'm about to attend a super spreader event I may as well have a beer first.

 

La Chouffe Blonde.
Cheers!

 

One more Oktoberfest before a nap and nightshift, but first...


Cheers all! Enjoy your Saturday

 

Went out for about an hour road ride, now watching the finish of TDF stage 20. Roglic and Pogacar are burning every match in the book today. Great to see Porte riding onto the podium. Cheers mates!

 

Thank you, @scream, for this delicious Saturday morning coffee!

 

A 2019 while I mow the lawn. Cheers peeps.....

 

3 New Power Classics now at WFM. Happy last week of summer.
Furious | Surly Brewing | IPA | 6.7%
4.33/5 rDev +0.7%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
my first review of brewer, glad I finally found it at WFM which has greatly improved its beer selection in 07701.
a) Perfect masuculine hazed dark amber body, supporting eggshell thick, lasting and lacing head.
s) Big, plentiful, hop over scottish malt.
t) Lots of balance with the scots malt, that smoky, woody, peaty, earthy bread feel against the pine, floral, citrus rind, and pepper hop overcast.
f) Plenty of mouth weight and tickle.
o) Deserves its high ranking on BA. Sum greater than parts esp in densely flavored masculine beer akin to Arrogant Bastard in a 6.8% package.

Alpha King | 3 Floyds | APA | 6.66%
4.33/5 rDev +1.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
2d review of 3 Floyds, 1st of this classic, in my fave APA style. Love to taste vs Dales Pale (my amber APA standard)
a) Pours deep aber clear body, sports eggshell head that lasts and laces. Classic.
s) caramel, strongly pine hopped.
t) Strong bite, citric rind and pine sap bitter hop, over a see-saw caramel, creamy malt base. Sharp marmalade, which despite the pepper is sweet.
f) creamy / bitter which is a nice see-saw feel. Tingly,
o) Equal or better than my APA gold standards such as Dales.

Gumballhead | 3 Floyds | APA-Wheat | 5.6%
4.24/5 rDev +0.7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
3rd from 3 Floyds which is now sold at WFM in 07701. 3 Floyds deservedly well loved.
a) Slight hazy golden body with a thick foam white head that lasts and laces.
s) Hop lemon zest flowers over yeasty wheat french bread.
t) Hops like IPA, lemon flowers and zest, some bubble gum, and french bread baking.
f) Tingly, clean, juicy, silky.
o) Sum greater than the parts, lovely easy summer drinker. Could be a regular.

 

Cheers!

 

Enjoying this local treat.
Do good
Be well

 

Revolution Oktoberfest!


Prost!

 

Cross post with the Oktoberfest and NBW threads.

This Oktoberfest was a dud, perhaps too old (Bottled the 85th day of 2020). Glad I had a fresh Hofbrau tapped this week, and have one more planned for tomorrow.

Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest Marzen (11.2 oz bottle 5.8%), bottle code date 2020 (85th day), BB 03 / 2021.


1991 is the Saturday Morning Flashback, though I question the inclusion of the La's There She Goes ode to smack (released 1988, re-released 1990).

Two favorites played so far.

 

Cheers, Advocates! Thank you @strohme2 for this tasty Galaxy hopped IPA.

 

Cheers!

 

Salad for lunch, then out to pressure clean the rest of the patio.....TBBC Hop Silo........

Just picked this up from https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/59300/?view=ratings

Still steaming hot. They brought it out of the deli kitchen in a deep-dish pizza box
Actually, my daughter and I have already gnawed through a quarter of it because it is so damn good, but we may still need to call for back-up. Prost!

The beer:
3.87/5 rDev +6.3%
