The Kick Box - On Hip!

Whoa!!

If only I could be sharing that awesome beer with a woman as beautiful as yourself.

I know, I am cheesy AF!

 

Good beer isn't hard to come by in New England, you should come by and do a brewery tour!!

 

Trillium is the fucking shit. I have had two of their beers tonight, and have another in the fridge.

This is their Pocket Pigeon from their 'Small Bird Series'. It is a pale ale.

Really mild, grassy and herbaceous with a bready malt finish. Light bodied, clean and crisp!

5.4% ABV

4.5/5

 

I know, you have got it made!

i need to make my way out to VT and Mass.

 

Now drinking Double Dry Hopped Sleeper Street from Trillium (Boston, Mass), a dank, tropical orange-pineapple-grapefruit juice bomb of an IPA. Medium-light bodied, clean and crisp, with a mostly dry finish.

7.2% ABV

4.5/5

 

So what are some of the other beers?

 

Aww PR has a crush, and good taste in his womenfolk

Anywho, I am sipping on Avery Brewing Raja Double IPA. Pretty sure I've expressed my general dislike of IPAs enough in this thread lol but I actually really like this one

 

Hahah... I've had an internet crush on her for a while, actually.

Avery makes some great beers. I don't think I've ever had that particular one, though.

 

Hot damn! It's been 2 weeks! (So, I have to catch up from page 277!)
A bunch of shit has gone down.
Some crappy, some good.
(Like Lil Kick starting Kindergarten!)

Also, I almost died.
Well, my D&D character, that is.
Turned out the magical portal in the magical inter-planary shortcut wasn't certain death, it just dropped me in a different spot from high above.
I hurt my back, but I was a brown bear at the time so it wasn't so bad.

ANYway... I think I should get to the drinkin part of the night!
So, a couple new ones to try out.
I think I'm going to start with the IPA, then move on to the pumpkin brew.

With that in mind, may I present the first beer of the night...


(Alc. 7.6%)
(Long Trail Brewing - Limbo IPA)

Smell - Pine with a slight whiff of white pepper. Then some pithy pineapple/grapefruit body.

Taste - Soft resinous pine holding hands with pithy grapefruit. A little white pepper heat in the back end. Moments of something fruitier that I can't place, but I swear makes me think of bubble gum... just for a moment, when exhaling through my nose as I drink.

Overall, a hearty IPA that doesn't get too thick. I enjoy the heat and feel it balances the pith and slight bitterness fairly well. The only downfall (for me) is a bit more of a bitter bite in the last moments, in the throat.
(I also didn't have enough time to chill this, so it's almost room temp.)

 

Had that limbo a while ago. I remember thinking it's pretty good but not likely to buy it again unless I have money and it's that and b.m.c (is there a specific order to that abbreviation? Bud has to be first in my book.)

Planning on dropping off some stuff at my exes house next week so I have to hit the most local brewery to Barnegat. I will do the research later.

 

Took me a half an hour to write this review (and find pics).
Then again, that's pretty much par for the course.

ANyshiut...

Beer #2:

(Alc. 8.6%)
(Southern Tier - Warlock (2017))

Smell: Dark, browned, spiced pumpkin pie. That's it, just beautiful, drool-worthy pumpkin pie in all it's glories.

Taste: Dark, browned, spiced pumpkin pie... as a stout beer. Somewhat bitter compared to pie. But mostly, it's pumpkin pie in a beer.

Overall, fuck yes. Fuck. Yes. Gives Elysium a run for it's money. Definitely have to compare the two at some point this season!!
(although, I'm expecting Elysium to win.)



Aaaand... Pics!

 

i saw the lmbo ipa today, I bought dead guy because the bottles design was different. drank all six, sleepy now, maybe drink some guinness and crash soom, idk..

 

I had the warlock last night and it'll be the last time.. i keep giving st benefits of the doubt. but damn every time with the gut wrenches the day after.

 

*clicks Like*
*Reached limit for the day*

shit

I haven't even finished catching up in this thread, much less any other threads!

 

This deserves a Like, but as I just mentioned... I'm out of Likes for the day.
grr

Nice review though.

 

Weed is always a great after-beer extension.
That being said, I'm more interested in that Pink Lemonade beer at the moment.
Definitely have to keep my eyes out for this one!

 

I Read A Few Days Ago That Some "Craft Beers" Sell For $40-00 A Bottle.....Is This True..??... :yikes:



Cheers Glen.

 

Some sell for way more than that... especially vintage, barrel-aged stuff, and certain lambics from Belgium.

 

I did a quick check just now.
Looks like Backward Flag Brewing is well reviewed.
It's in Forked River, so fairly close.

(Let me know when you're around and maybe I can meet up.)
(Although, I'm not sure I'll catch it in time here on Hip... but let me know on Twitter (@Kick_Frenzy) and I'll get the message that day.)

 

Oh shit.
I hope I don';t have the same experience tomorrow!

(Maybe if I drink enough water tonghit?)
