What beer are you drinking now? #429

Lord God, I said Left Hand Wake and Bake. I meant Wake up Dead. Am I forgiven? I confuse Georgia beer w/ Colorado beer. I feel so small.

 

Enjoying this:

and listening to this:

 

Taste Off! Six Points Autumnation (4.1) vs Dogfish head 60 minutes (3.95): Six Points Autumnation tweaks a win by being original, complex, and autumnal. Both great IPAs: Brooklyn wins this one over Delaware!

Six Points Autumnation

4.1/5 rDev +5.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A: Great lacing and looking, an autumnal amber suitable hazed body.

S: Has the fall smell of a damp river bank or seaside cliff of wet leaves, vegetation, slow decay - which really works for me. Highly original includes herbs, pine resin, salt hay followed by fresh bread, toffee, toasted wheat bread, some caramel and some tea-like papaya.

T: Follows the smell with much more earthy grassy, fall leaves. fresh-cut grass, grapefruit, and loads of tingly bitter dry finish that lasts and lasts. A great drinking beer: pine, fresh air, damp earth, fresh bread. A great finish on this beer. Must try. Great food beer (in this case with salmon over pasta)

M: Medium, nice creamy weight. Lots of tingle, great finish.

Must try. One of my favorite new finds. Everything so far is worth trying from Six points.

Dogfish head 60 minutes

3.98/5 rDev -2.9%

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

This is re-review of 60 min. My first must have been a bad bottle, because tonight it rocks.

Appearance: For me this now pours a clear amber with a dense white head that dissipates into an islands atop the beer; lots of lasting lacing.

Smell: Plenty aroma where citrus hops dominate, followed by cookie dough, crackery, malt and a bit of wet woods and alcohol.

Taste: Follows the smell but in reverse order, begins cookie / crackery malt base, though not sweet at all; then citrusy, piney bitter hops kick, and take you to the lovely long finish. Great with cheese and dinner. easy to enjoy. Good starter IPA.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light, nicely carbonated.

O: A refreshing IPA; nicely balanced. Must try. East coast delight. Solid IPA - citrusy, tingly, good example of the style, good introduction

 

Going big tonight to celebrate my last work day of the year and upcoming vacation:



Cheers!
