What beer are you drinking now? #4357

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for opening the virtual bar today!



Today's Breakfast Beer, one I picked up at Shangy's based on the label - not a lot of brews have an Axolotl on their label. The ginger is subdued, the lemon grass is in the forefront, and who knows what the agave tastes like. This pretty much agrees with my earlier review (28/12/21), although the ginger was definitely prominent in that first bottle.

 

Good morning,
while waiting to pop a bomb to honor review no. 300 to add to the database, here is the beer I drank yesterday during my lunch break.

Zona Mosto (Milano, ITA) - SOFA KING - American IPA (5,8%)

33 cl can (€5 from the bar fridge).
5.8% American IPA from this young brewery in Treviglio opened in 2022 and whose cans are often seen in the fridges of places that want to have a selection of craft beers in their range.
On the label: "Lot: 04528 - Expiration: 01/30/2025".
On the nose, aromas of citrus and ripe fruit (orange, yellow grapefruit, peach, papaya).
When poured, it has a beautiful golden color, almost completely transparent (probably "lagerized", i.e. with the use of some low-fermentation malts), a nice soft and tasty head of foam.
In the mouth, a medium/light bodied beer, supported by a slightly dull carbonation, but still noticeable and facilitates the flow of the drink.
In the mouth, initial tastes of summer and tropical fruit (yellow peach again, papaya, melon), with a sugary caramel nuance, which is quickly followed by a more bitter taste of citrus and citrus peel (grapefruit, orange peel) that fades into a final herbaceous note, which makes the drink end with a dry bitterness, which does not remain on the tongue leaving room on the palate for an aftertaste of ripe fruit (as per modern tradition).
This is not an explosive beer, which has the merit of being easy to drink but which does not have a real distinctive element from the many fairly anonymous products that are invading TOO MANY fridges in bars in these areas.
Easy to drink and equally easy to forget.





Sláinte .

Agave sap is boiled down to the sugar content. It is no better than other forms of sugar despite claims of it being a more healthy alternative. You could distill it into tequila...

 

Sharing a Mcilhenney-All Gas No Brakes with the Moonlight.. Cheers!!

UC for me

 

Cloudflare won’t let me post a photo today. But I got a cold Elysian Dark O’ The Moon pumpkin stout. Cheers!

 

I couldn't post my comment and picture, maybe the comment was too short? When I added the video Cloudflare allowed me to post.

 

Sat on the tarmac in DFW for 5 hours. Missed my connection to Munich as a result.

So, having a Brew Dog Speed Bird OG in the LHR lounge while I wait for the next flight.

 

Hello again! Today is lawn chop day for me. You know what that means. BEERS. And I will get primed with a single I picked up at Binny's a couple weeks back. It was in with all the Oktos, Marzens & Festbiers on a make-your-own 6pk rack. Keg Grove Harvest Corn Amber Ale. Very tasty.
60F, sun is destroying the clouds, light breeze, all damn day to enjoy it.
Cheers!

 

Coors Light at Chili's, been years since we've been here.

 

Happy Tuesday BAs

Cloudy and some much needed rain earlier - got a soggy walk in, sans Emma - she is not a fan of the rain!

This local treat is hitting the spot on this very autumny day!

Stained our outdoor table and four chairs. That's enough work for today.

 

Love Session Mosaic session IPA from Brew Your Mind. Not super complex, but entirely sessionable.



And here’s the photo of HopTop Green Zone at Élesztő that cloudflare simply would not let me post earlier … Élesztő is great but apparently their wifi is untrustworthy
