    having a can of San Juan Wild Hare. The label says it's both a "Hoppy Lager" and a "Experimental Lager". Shrug. Nice enough brew.

    In honor of National IPA Day, I am having an Eliot IPA at the Beaverton Ex Novo.*

    Also: Two different Ex Novo employees came over to our table to let Mrs. vurt and I know that Mass Ascension will be on tap next week, with cans to follow later.

    Been a while since I've had Doggie Claws, so long in fact that the style has fallen out of favor with me. Imagine my surprise, then, at finding a truly well crafted and delightful, punchy beer.

    I've seen that designation on fairly mellow (i.e. not west coast style hoppy) pale ales. Was that what this was?

    Celebrated IPA Day yesterday (who decides these things?) with a nice can of Fort George Cavatica Stout. Seemed just right for a 90-degree day.

    yeah i went through a phase years ago where i really didnt like the american style barleywine and only drank the sweeter/smoother english style. so i kind of ignored DClaws for a number of years. then, about 9 months ago i ordered a glass at HotD and was really taken aback at how good it was. also bought a few vintages over the holiday season and they were all fantastic

    Kinda like a thinner Murkbomb. Couldn't see through it, thin body, soft fruity hops, very low grain, kinda bland.

    Right now the wife and I are relaxing on the porch with some adult bevvidges. I'm having some Georgetown Johnny Utah that was canned a week ago. Crisp!

    New guy from Grains of Wrath. Crypt Keeper... All Citra IPA for the "Graveyard Series". Beautiful beer with a citrus and melon punch to it, but bumming out on the little bit of butter in the mix. Cheers!

    I keep giving GoW a chance, but can't say I've had anything that I really like from them yet. had a different beer from the graveyard series that had that "onion" taste to it

    IIRC, it's Simcoe that sometimes gives off the onion aspect.

    Doubt they're using it, but I've gotten onion attributes from Summit hops as well.

    Summit hops are onion and garlic. *shudder*

    Simcoe hops are cat pee.
