The Kick Box - On Hip!

You're drinking cheap vodka straight? Gross.

Next time mix it with some club soda and a splash of juice or some lime...it will taste way better.

 

I remember my 23rd birthday I was taking shots of cheap vodka. My friend cracked a joke as I was downing my shot, causing me to laugh. Which caused the vodka to shoot straight up to my nose, flooding its way through my sinuses where it stayed in my nasal cavity. It was so painful, my nose wouldn't stop bleeding. I don't take vodka shots any more.

 

Sour beers usually taste good but I usually hate them because they taste like they went bad.

 

Good to know.

 

This sentence makes no sense at all. They usually taste good, but you usually hate them even though they taste good?

Sours are awesome.

 

It depends. Sometimes I will pair the beer with a food that goes well with it. Other times I will eat whatever is available. Usually I just drink without any food.

Cheese goes well with pretty much all beers. Certain meats, too.

 

There are so many different styles of beer, some of which taste completely different from one another. If you try enough I am sure you will find a few you like.

 

Trust me. I know how stupid it sounds.
But it's true. Like if you leave a juice laying around too long it will go bad. Expecially one without preservatives. Now when I tasted an oj that is good I know it is good. If it was in the fridge for a year and I taste it...I know on first taste that it is too old.
With sours I get the mental vision of a beer that was in the fridge too long and it ruins the fact that it actually tastes good.

 

On that note I would point out I like all sour tastes. Lemon, lime, warheads, sour gummy bears. Pretty much anything sour that people eat.

 

I managed to bum enough money to score myself a Sixpoint Sweet Action ($1.75!). It's not bad. Not really what I expected out of it, but beer is beer.

 

That is pretty high class for a hobo.

 

Wasn't always a hobo. They're still a beer snob somewhere inside me.

And it doesn't take that long to bum $2. Took me about 5 minutes.

 

I was wondering what kind of pizza
Sorry I am posting random pizza stuff....yeah laziness

 

a 40 ounce of mickeys and some vodka

 

The 2016 version of Southern Tier's Imperial Pumking has just hit the shelves within the past week, and today yesterday I picked up two 22 oz. bombers for tonight. As the name of the beer suggests, it is an imperial pumpkin ale. This is a beer I have had MANY times since it was first introduced nine years ago. It seems to hit the shelves a little earlier each year. Early August is quite early for a fall seasonal. Every year this beer is a little different from the previous years, and the ABV varies slightly from year to year (this year it's 8.6%). Some years are on the sweeter, pumpkin pie side of things, while other years it's on the more spice side of things. This year it seems pretty much in between, with perhaps a slightly greater emphasis on the pumpkin. It used to be one of my favorite beers, though in recent years it seems to have declined a bit.

The beer pours a very beautiful, mostly clear copper, golden-orange color. Pours with a decent head which subsides to nothing rather quickly. There is a ton of pumpkin pie notes in this year's aroma. Lots of sweet pumpkin, vanilla and nutmeg in the nose with some very nice bready, biscuity pie crust malts. The malts also come through in the flavor, especially in the finish. Up front it's just a lot of really nice pumpkin pie flavors (pumpkin, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, pie crust), with a rather sweet malt finish that lingers. Hop presence is quite subdued, but still present in the finish. The mouthfeel of this beer is smooth, slightly syrupy, and very light on carbonation. This year it is not as creamy as years past, and has a somewhat thinner mouthfeel, which is one detracting factor of this year's batch. The flavor is very nice, however. Rating B+

The best years for this beer were the first three years (2007, 2008 & 2009).

 

shit negro they already releasin pumpkin brews??? i cant bring myself to drink one in august when its 100 degrees. I persoanlly gotta wait till like october. ive always wanted to try this one though, but sadly its never around out here

 

I agree, this style of beer tastes much better in the fall. I think they should wait until at least early September to put this beer out.

 

Do they carry any Southern Tier beers out your way?

 

Just did a full review of flying dogs. Mint julip ale and my phone spazzed out. I am done with it now and don't feel like typing it all over again.
Bottom line it tastes like what I imagine a mint julip tastes like. Good but nothing special.

 

Not that I have seen. I'm going to check again this year, though. We have a couple huge chain beer stores so maybe they can put an order in for it.
