What beer are you drinking now? #486

Sippin on some Old Horizontal!

 

Damn hotels and small glasses. I could do with another bottle of this.

 

From a trade received today…


Excellent recommendation! Thanks Justin!

 

Thorn St. - watch out for these cats. Cheers,

 

This darn mug is so big, that one bottle of Sucks looked stupid in it.



Cheers BAs!

 

One of the best black IPAs around. This is a close second to Wookey Jack. Cheers Bros!

 

Had a Beer/cheese pairing at homebrew club tonight.

Onto reviews:

Nice Pale lager. Pristine appearance with crystal clear pale amber and great head retention. Pleasant flavors and aromas that are extremely well balanced with very clean lagering and no off flavors. Lemon, pear, apple, cracker, bread, herbal, floral, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very crisp and smooth.


Very good DIPA. Bright lemon zest, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, orange zest hoppiness with light caramel/light honey/bread malts and floral/grass/light pine and floral/grassy earthiness from the hops. Hop/malt flavors were almost balanced in the taste but still quite crisp. Not as impressive as I hoped for, but a very tasty offering. Glad I bought a 4 pack.


Very nice Dubbel style. Lightly tart plums with raisin/blackberry/pear/apple and dark bread/molasses/candi sugar/toast malts with moderate clove/pepper esters. A very smooth sipper as well.


Cheers

 

Just drinking some Pliny the Younger......AGAIN!

 

moving along to trade receipt #2…



good stuff.

 

Dammit. Which side of the state are you in?

 

Think I might pour the next in my SN imperial pint glass

 

Damn near perfect. This one has aged beautifully.

 

My first Palate Wrecker, and I must say, I've had my palate wrecked by other beers worse than this. Green Bullet was the real Palate Wrecker IMO. Besides the slight misnomer, this beer is tasty! Glad to see it finally hit the shelves here down south. Its the perfect cap to a looooooooong day.

 

Mike Hess Brewing - am I tripping?

 

The good side. About an hour and 1/2 from the brewery, but no way in hell was i waiting in line. Got in and got my beer in about 5 mins all four times.

 

Took the dog for a walk 40 minutes ago, smelled like a skunk convention near my porch Hopefully my deep-fryer there wasn't drawing him/them in... ( Cat-fish,delish, my Father in-law's Birthday dinner request ). Escaped unscathed Roughtail 12thRound American Strong Ale, not sure what if anything is on deck...

Listening to some B.B. King & Bonnie Raitt on the Satellite radio...

 

Finisher brews:

Outstanding. Super balanced blueberry and deep stout flavors. The Dark Horse stout series is the shit. Every single one of them.


Insane offering, always available fresh. Once that Chicago location shows up, I need to go there asap.


Centennial Hops are the classic contender as the best hops ever.


Cheers
