Hey, PR! I see your reviews sometimes when I'm posting mine. And hot damn do some of those look tasty... as they always do with you. Good to see you here!
Also, if I'm posting, I'm (probably) drinkin. And this is no exception! Beer #1: (Alc. 9%) (Church Street - Brewcifer) (DIPA) Smell: Bright citrus and sweet stone fruit travel through a field of wheat. Taste: Nectarine and peach. Rising grapefruit pith becomes bitter hops in the hay lined end. Overall, this starts out bright and turns into a bitter end, but not too bitter. Like moving from an orchard to a hay field. It's a good, solid brew. ... I honestly don't know how to do the label justice with a naughty pic. Or, at least, not without spending more time on it than I want to. Nothing good is coming up. So.. nyah I'll try again on the next beer.
Aww. Did you see that label? It was soothing, right? I mean, yeah, Lucifer and all, but... who wouldn't want to be chillin out, maxin and relaxin with him in that scene? mmmm BUT THEN BEER #2: (Alc. 7.2%) (Surly - Todd The Axe Man) (IPA) Smells: Bright citrus and soft pine, with a touch of bitter hops far enough away to almost be tomorrow. Tastes: Piney citrus intro hangs around until fading into dry hops on the outro. Overalls, that's a pretty fine beer. I mean.. that really is a pretty fine beer! It's got thickness to the body and a solid flavor profile, all without being pushy or overly complex. good shit ... And so I said I'd try again. So try, I did. Hells fuckin yeah. TO TODD THE AXE MAN! TO LITA OF THE FORDS! DRINK!
You and my stepdad should get together and be friends. He's a total beer guy... has beer shipped to him all the time from all over. He belongs to these online beer review sites. Your posts remind me of the way he talks about beer. Only beers I can even stomach are cucumber sours
Hey, everything bagel!! Feel free to send him to my Twitter page! (I'd say send him here, but I'm not here very often and mroe importantly, I figure it might be weird to invite him here.) But, tell us more about these cucumber sours!
And speaking of beer reviews... I have one more for the night! And it's happening now! So pull on your Snuggie and read on, boys, girls, intersexes, and everyone! Because it's, Beer #3! (Alc. 9.1%) (River Horse - Craic) (Imperial Stout) Smellin: Vanilla beans on fresh brewed coffee, in front of a faded sweet malt background. Tastin: Smoky vanilla fades into medium-bodied black coffee. A gentle, sweet malt deftly provides the undergirding. Overallin, this is an absolutely wonderful stout. It's smooth and laid back, never asking anything of you... just there as our companion. ... The pic I chose for this beer struck me as particularly harmonized with both the name and the beer itself. (But if I'm being honest, it'd be REALLY perfect if the palette was the dark, velvety opposite.) ANYway.. heer chya go
Right? Immediately upon laying mine eyes upon it, I wanted to luxuriate in it's wonderfulness. So I bought that shit!
It's good. Not my favorite beer of all time or anything, but it 's a good solid brew. It was probably my least favorite of the night. But, while I may not like one style, you or another person might love it. That may not sound like a glowing endorsement, but really, all the beers from tonight were great beers. They all just come down to preference between style.
Well, I'm currently drinking a concoction I made on the fly that consists of coffee, tequila, Malibu rum, a splash of water, a splash of milk, and a piece of a strawberry. I don't even know what this shit is, besides something that's going down my *drinks* throat. (Warning: Do not atempt this at hom)
Good God........With An "Ass" That Big You Would Need A 200 Hp. "Front End Loader" Just To Move Her From Room To Room....... Cheers Glen.
Right?!? It totally sounds incredibly gross! And it is! And if I'm being honest, I think I'm close to pouring out the remainder! But I follwoed my gut instinct of "Let's make a horrible drink!" And here we are.
