    Cross post with NBW, this is a brand new offering from a nearby brewery.

    Alarmist Midwest Royalty Lager

    [​IMG]

    Long story short, this is a traditional lager though brewed with corn, works well, a bit too salty, nice and easy. Will enjoy the rest of the four pack.

    Rare sports TV day, The Open Championship on now with Fish and Chips in the oven, White Sox baseball on free TV this evening.

    Yep.
    And frankly, out of all the N/A beers I've had this past 5-6 months, this one... this Untitled Art Watermelon Gose low ABV for some reason does it. Maybe it's less "beer like," maybe it's less worty? But whatever, it's tasty, and I'll take it.
    Post 10K training pace run.
    Cheers!

    Five Threads Brewing Co. -- 5X Stout (American imperial stout)

    [​IMG]

    4.31/5 rDev +2.6%
    look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

    Ink black body with an impressively thick head (for a high ABV beer); thick sheets of light khaki foam coat the glass. Nice dark roast grain nose exuding notes of chocolate and cocoa. Big dark roast grain taste infused with a bold, boozy flavor; earthy sweetness with a strong bitterness component to offset things. Heavy body; slightly rough on the palate; dry; alcohol warmth permeates the beer.

    5X Stout certainly brings on some bold characteristics to the palate. First off, the can indicates it has 100 IBUs while extolling you to drink it cold. I usually like my dark ales a bit warm, but who am I to question the brewery's instructions. I do feel the initial cold kills some of the aromas. I love the big head and clinging foam for a beer with such a high alcohol content. Anyway, one gets pretty much what the can indicates - a huge, powerful stout with prominent bitterness. It is rich and complex and, from my perspective, improves with some warmth to it.

    Poured at 50 °F; no dating information seen on the can.

    A pre-lunch IPA flight at the Brewery - left to right, bottom going counterclockwise:Fat Head’s Hop Juju Imperial IPA, IBUSive IPA, Head Hunter IPA, Strange Magic IPA:

    [​IMG]

    I’m in IPA heaven! All taste great…my favorite - Head Hunter IPA! It’s WC delicious! Citrus and pine with a a firm malt base that balances the bitterness. All 4 beers are winners! Cheers from Canton OH!

    First time in Hawaii, on the garden isle of Kauai. The Avalon Gastropub in Kapaau is small, reservations needed, and is packed with unusual beers. Definitely no Primo Beer here. This is the Honey Orange Tripel from New Belgium, 16oz of 10%ABV. Very well done.

    The tap menu plus fancy-dancy special bottles:

    Over in Princeville on the north part of Kauai I found these two tap handles seemingly talking to each other.

    Almost anything Mingus, I'm hooked.

    Never saw the big man live, but I did have the pleasure of seeing the Gunther Shuller lead 'Epitaph' concert at Wolf Trap outside of Washington DC in, I guess, 1989...now, that was a treat...

    HA Bodem, and the can got jealous of the glass and decided to photo-bomb the shot.
    Damn cans.
