The Kick Box - On Hip!

I just took a picture of your post so I can remember those .

 

I'll admit I am a sucker for clever advertising. Glad I got only one of these, though.

 

Hahaha I see what they did there.

 

I would not buy that based on their clever marketing. Dunkin Donuts is grrrosss

 

Girl, you trippin'

 

Hello again, peeps!
It's another night of two reviews, one by way of a crowler and one from a 6-pack.
They're the last beers from the gifted beers I got a couple weeks ago.
(I'll just have to finish off about 8 beers in total after this, in order to empty the fridge.)

Anywayz... instead of boring you with tales of blah blah blah, I'll get to it!

Beer #1:

(Alc. 6%)
(Ship Bottom - The Shack)

Smell: Soft pine, pithy pineapple and a whiff of stone fruit lead the way. A note of sweet wheat winds throughout the brew. All on a biscuit body.

Taste: Soft pine leads the way. Subtle pineapple pith and sweet wheat notes fill it out. With a body that suggests bread, but reads cracker.

Overall, a solid brew. Nothing too bitter or exaggerated in any direction. A nice, even flavor profile. It's a good beer for when you just want a beer, but you can't stand the thought of any of the standard pisswater macros out there.




Ok, so I was going to find a pic for this, but then I read what it was about.
And honestly, I kinda want to leave the memory of this one in peace.
(Don't worry, I'll make sure the next beer gets a pic!)

 

So, I'm nowhere near wasted, totally drunk, or even on a really strong buzz.
But, here we are on my last review of the night.

I may drink more, but this is it for new beer reviews.

So, let's move along, yeah?
Yeah.

Beer #2:

(Alc. 5.3%)
(Pinelands Brewing - Evan John Porter)

Smells: Vanilla, marshmallow root, and a hint of coffee start it up. The breadish body cushioning the corners.

Tastes: Vanilla soul, walks forward with a touch of coffee and marshmallow root in tow. Something like a bready cracker fills out the body.

Overalls, a fairly tasty brew. A bit thin in the body and tiny in the bubbles. Of course, I may just be thinking of it as an underachieving stout instead of a decently performing porter (since I have much more experience in the former). But, it's yummy and low in alcohol, so it could be useful in a lot of different situations.
I don't know... it's pretty good, but not kill-for-it-amazing.
(I'm giving it 3.75/5 on Untappd)




And I didn't forget that I promised y'all a pic for this one!
*goes to find something fitting*
How about this one?

 

I had 4 IPA's, a shot of Mezcal and an Old Fashioned.

I'm feeling pretty lucky to have not woke up with a hangover.

 

Hey, y'all!
I'm not here for real... just dropping off this review real quick.
(I missed the weekend, but wanted an Untappd anniversary badge.)

So...

Beer #1 (of 1):

(Alc. 5.5%)
(Clown Shoes - Mango American Kolsch)

Smell: Almost like a standard beer with a touch of sweetness on a metallic cracker body.

Taste: Mango is front-forward for the whole ride. A whisper of pine and pepper hide in the cracker body. Some bitter hops curl under the tongue.

Overall, not bad. A fairly tasty brew, with the pine and bitter hops building a little as I get through it. It seems versatile, like it could fit in on a summer afternoon or a winter evening.



(No pic. It was proving hard to find as there's apparently a nude model with the name "Mango"... but no mangoes in her pics.)

Is anyone here familiar with Tavour?

Flat-rate shipping fee is $15. First beer I found was $12. With tax, I'm close to $30 and all I'm getting so far is one beer????

 

I've heard of them, but never used them.
But, it sounds like you should wait until you can get several beers at once, to cut down the price of shipping per beer.

I mean, it's not an unreasonable amount for shipping... but it can be cost prohibitive if you're only getting one or two beers.

 

Also... hello everyone!
I'm back for another round!

Beer #1:

(Alc. 9%)
(Mother Earth Brew Co - Primordial)

Smell: Citrus, sweet and pithy, rises forth on a cracker body and an undercurrent of wheat/hay.

Taste: Pithy citrus, with a sweet backbeat, gives way to bitter piney hops. All on a creamy, cracker/biscuit body.

Overall, this is more bitter than I prefer, but not exceedingly so. Citrus on the front end, pine in the back. The creamy body gives it some heft. A decent west coast IIPA.


(No pic. I thought it would be easy, but it's not... as always, feel free to offer up your own take on this!)

 

So, I had a second beer that I'd previously reviewed... the Oktoberfest that I think is on the previous page.
And I've just finished the third beer, sop this is a bit retroactive...

Beer #3:

(Alc. 8.3%)
(Founders - Breakfast Stout)

Smells: Sweet, black coffee and dark chocolate. Malted oats in the middle. Supported by a biscuit body.

Tastes: Black coffee calls up dark chocolate for some malted oatmeal. All pulling up seats on a biscuit for a dry spell.

Overalls, it's a Founders stout... how could I go wrong? Apparently, I couldn't! Good shit, even if fairly standard. It's just that the standard for these brews tends to be good shit... knowhudimean?



And, for this one, there IS a related pic!
Yay!

Here y'all go...
(I'm a bit jealous of her morning... seems wonderful!)

 

Why are you like this?

 

A person of refined and discerning taste? It's a gift

 

DD has good coffee.
Not the best in the world, but it's good.
Although, that can vary depending on the location.
(We easily have "worst" and "best" options of DD around us.)

And their donuts are... good enough.
I prefer them over the GLAZE EVERYTHING Krispy Kreme experience.
But local shops always take the ca... er, donut.
