What beer are you drinking now? #3275

Taking advantage of this punctual debut post by @Shanex, I also insert my local beer, drunk quickly @BeerWave, Fiumicino, Italy - small pub with a good rotation of beers and always interesting fridges.
Given the time I had a quick and simple drink, but not at all trivial.

Birrificio Liquida (Ostellato, Ferrara, ITA - UN' ESTATE AMARA*- Double Dry Hopping Session Ipa (4.5%).

*A BITTER SUMMER, in english

Double Dry Hopping of Nelson Sauvin and Citra hops.
As soon as the can is opened, the fresh scent of tropical fruit and citrus fruits is immediately amplified as soon as it is poured into the glass.
Straw yellow color, moderately veiled.
Foam of medium consistency and persistence.
Really easy body in the mouth (what I was looking for, before returning to the office and considering that I'm practically on an empty stomach). Live carbonation, but not excessive.
Fresh taste of exotic and summer fruit (passion fruit, pineapple, yellow peach) and citrus scents (grapefruit, mandarin peel).
Final of a bitter certainly not intrusive, but still very well perceptible and delineated (which I really appreciate).
All the fruity scents are "dried" on the tongue, in which slightly resinous and herbaceous notes also emerge, while pleasantly echoing in the palate in a lighter way.
I really appreciated the balance and drinkability, especially because, as mentioned, it was a quick transition during working hours.
Let's say now I'm happier than before.



Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

Not going to Twin Lakes like years past, but we will be taking a few days away from the house for our anniversary, so starting my four day weekend with one of Cycle’s week series. And I’m really hoping those are coconut flakes....

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting today's thread! Related to car stuff - yesterday I got new wiper blades for my wife's car - a quick $85 US. Later, we went to Hoppin' Frog Brewery in Akron, OH (only 100 miles) to pick up some beer and got caught in a nasty rainstorm on the way home - we ended up taking a circuitous route because the interstate highway was backed up for miles. The wipers worked well, much better than the old ones. Safety first.
@Jack_14 , thanks for your excellent post of another Italiano birra - I love to read about these brews and places I'll probably never visit!

My New Breakfast Beer for today is another delightful sample of the Canadian craft scene, courtesy of @Coronaeus:



(This image came with something attached, but I stripped it off.)

Very pleasing sour - a hint of cherries and tannic acid, some generic berriness as well. Rating 3.66, rDev -9.9%.

 

Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs.! That’s a great beer, and yes, those are coconut flakes. Cheers!

 

Thanks Doc. If I’d trust anybody to know Cycle, it would be you!

 

The dogs have been walked and fed, kitchen chores completed. No “coffee” in the house, so I’ll drink an IPA - Jai Alai:



Sitting on the back patio with the dogs…it’s 77° with 95% humidity…definitely another hot muggy morning here in SWFL. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, so I’ll try and finish some yard projects we started this week. Cheers and have a fab Friday y’all!

 

Thanks! This year’s Tuesday also has coconut (and flakes). I like seeing flakes in coconut beers, the more the merrier…Other than coconut, floaties are a big visual turn off for me. Enjoy your long weekend - Cheers!

 

A perfect way to start the off day, amazing depth. Oh my, this is a luxurious supper. Cheers!

 

Day off and home alone. Taking advantage. Beer for breakfast, maybe a trip to NY state to poke around a couple of beer stores, then smoke some chicken thighs for dinner. Sounds like a good day.

 

A rare morning fog on the NW side this morning, I fear colder temps and Fall/Winter are on their way. Pulling another from the cellar this morning to keep me warm. This is a collaboration offering from two great California Breweries

Beachwood Blendery Sierra Nevada Collaboration Fortune Favors the Funk



Full treatment in the cellar review thread. The heavy carbonation will be remembered until my deathbed, full of flavor, very funky. Glad I picked up during Beachwood's first Chicago drop (one of my favorite breweries) and pulled out today.

California California the theme this morning. Contemplating a hair cut followed by a bar or brewery to perhaps be tortured by more White Sox baseball, though I believe they have a much better chance facing a lefty, and with their best starter on the bump.

Hoping for a return to California the Winter. It's been too long.

 

I was very curious how this one would go. A friend had one recently and said he thought it had gotten really good over time. I’m always nervous about sending a cellared beer.

 

Good Morning, BAs! Doing a little pregaming for this afternoon’s playoff game between Brewers and Braves.

 

Morning!
Enjoying an early IPA as I prep the boat for a day on the water... and hopefully a few fish.

 

Founder's Unraveled at Ocalahan's....

 

Happy Anniversary!

 

Dogs walked, pool chores done.
Time for some coffee.
