What beer are you drinking now? #966

Drinking a pretty nice swedish imperial stout.

 

Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel. Not bad...

 

I like this batch best since the bigger brewery. I'd say they have the Julius scaled up imho.

 

Not my sort of beer, but I thought it was okay.

 

5% alcohol. Brewed in Germany. An Anheuser-Busch/InBev brand.

Stevie time- 1975, New Orleans.

 

Great hoppy blonde ale. Bright flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, and piney hops with balanced crackery malt and floral/grassy hop earthiness. Balanced bitterness; with a crisp finish and some hop stickiness. One of the best I’ve had.


My favorite cream ale. Crackery/toasty/nutty malts with restrained yeast fruitiness; and some light caramel/vanilla sweetness with balanced herbal hop flavor. Not totally traditional to style as far as the recipe, but it still genuinely tastes like a cream ale all around.


Still loving this year’s batch. Dank peach, mango, pineapple, lemon peel, and grapefruit hops with a big resin/piney bitterness and a crisp/sticky finish. Minimal malt presence, but a light amount of cracker/breadiness is present and gives a sufficient balance to the resinous bitter hop finish. Simcoe and summit hop combo. Really can’t go wrong with most hop combos that involve simcoe though.


Always excellent Belgian IPA. Big grapefruit, lemon, orange peel, and pine; with balanced banana, clove, light bubblegum, and peppery yeast flavors with a sticky bitter hop finish. Great hop and yeast balance overall and a very crisp finish with minimal malt presence, but not dry either. As far as price and availability now in six packs year round; I could easily place this as my go-to Belgian IPA in my regular beer drinker rotation. Delicious.


My go-to gose. Big tart lemon/lime/green apple fruits with balanced coriander spice, and crackery wheat malts with a crisp acidic/saline finish. I honestly have a hard time deciding between the blood orange and this; but they are both on my fridge rotation anyways. I bought up the last of the Kirsch gose I could find as well, really hope Victory brings that back next year.


Cheers

 

Agree completely re: 128 and Blood Orange - both are outstanding Gose

 

We just had a going away party for my roommate, so my fridge is filled with Goose Island Summer Ale and IPA, along with Schlafly Kolsch, Boulevard's The Calling IPA and Pale Ale, and Mother's Doozy.

 

I tried this stout on a whim and wow, I am really impressed! This will become one of my go to stouts.

 

The true brunch of champions in Chicago.

 

A little strong for a lawnmower beer, but tasty.

 

Finished watching Pruncess Bride because the GF had never seen it . I saw that it is almost 30 years old, so older than some of you BAs-might not be as surprising to you guys. Anyhow, fiddling with the picture editor with this one. Boy cat wondering what the big deal is, but he can't see the label (GF went with Victory Kirch Gose).

 

morning BA! just a little sumtin to take the edge off!

 

I'm not a fan.

 

Cheers!

 

When in Rome... or Florida

 

Hmm, have this in fridge. Passed on it the first time, but friend mentioned enjoying it. Might be curious enough now to move that up in list for tomorrow's NBS-good or bad.

 

Looks rough, sure you're thinking this through ?

 

Country Boy's Cougar Bait. Pretty enjoyable for a blonde ale.
