    New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Atomic Citrus Blood Orange Ale. What a mouthful.
    It's OK because I like blood oranges.

    Prost!

    [​IMG] 1) BlackStack We’re Not Waiting (5.2%): A Kellerbier from Minnesota with flavors of lemonflower, earthy yeast, and dry grains. Clean.
    versus
    2) Surly Hell Lager (5.0%): A German lager from Minnesota that has flavors of lemonflower with a dry yeasty and pale malt finish. (Correctly matched the two beers blind

    Winner:
    2) Surly Hell:     A German lager battle. Two of the best from Minnesota. BlackStack released this Kellerbier and it's done extremely well. Citrus, floral, dry and yeasty. Great stuff here and an underrated style. Ultimately no matter how good it was, not going to beat Surly Hell. Tons of lemonflower flavors that leave just a touch of sweetness. My favorite beer from Surly and one of the best summer beers out there.

    Lunch beer after that amazingly boozy (23.1% abv) and tasty River North 11th Anniversary Stout.

    Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. The lyrics, the production, and the singing just come together so well. She was one of a kind.

    ...well, @DoctorZombies invited me up to Denver, Cerebral Brewing specifically, but I reluctantly declined...however, I did pick up a 4-pack of Cerebral beer a short time ago:

    Cerebral Brewing Co. -- Collective Consciousness
    New Zealand pilsner
    ABV: 4.8%; pouring temperature: 54.7 ℉; canning info: n/a
    Source: local purchase (Coaltrain Fine Wine, Craft Beer & Spirits)

    [​IMG]

    3.86/5 rDev 0%
    look: 3.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

    Pale yellow body, lightly hazy; thick, soapy suds head, fairly long lasting. Outstanding nose comprised of berry, melon, and white grape must; very light cereal grain note. Mild taste; light touch of white grape juice; mild cracker; moderately intense hop bitterness; some wood-like elements. Medium body; smooth; light, woody dryness complementing a soft juiciness.

    This is my first stab at the beer. It may be a bit warm (temperature-wise) for a pilsner-style beer, so I'll be revisiting this one soon enough but served at a cooler temperature. Anyway, this is generally a nice, light, refreshing beer.

    ...cheers, Doc...!!!

    1) Toppling Goliath Fire, Skulls, & Money (7.8% canned 1/27/223): A NEIPA from Iowa with Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Nelson for flavors of grapefruit and orange citrus flower, vinous white grape, gooseberry with some pine and berry to balance. Juicy, complex, and clean
    versus
    2) Toppling Goliath Haze Bus (7.8% canned 4/24/23): A NEIPA from Toppling Goliath with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra for flavors of orange flower, pineapple, mango, light herbal. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

    Winner:
    1) TG Fire, Skulls, & Money:     Another great Toppling Goliath Battle that was inevitable. Haze Bus is fresh off the block. Nice Mosaic and Simcoe for tropical flavors. Juicy and leans just a touch sweet. Not enough can be said for Fire, Skulls, & Money. 4 months out and still somehow drinks so well. The hop combination is perfect. Gooseberry and pine flavors with the addition of Nelson. This was my last so I hope they decide to brew it again soon. It's on another level for Toppling Goliath. As I drink this, I can't remember a NEIPA that I enjoyed more than Fire, Skulls, & Money.

    Yep - she hasn’t had an easy life, no rose garden and there she passes away of cancer and other, repeated illness issues. Life has been unkind to her and her family.

    Fuck cancer.

    Yardwork done and defective propane tank exchanged (so now I can grill chicken thighs tonight). The other tank leaked when I hooked up to my grill and the turkey fryer. First time that's ever happened to me. Now enjoying this wonderful Kolsch from Sunner.
