Re: What beers are you enjoying?

I stopped by Sierra Nevada Brewery tonight and sampled three new beers:

Hellraiser: Chocolate Chili Imperial Stout
Mersey Cream Stout
Rhymes Wit

That Hellraiser was hella good!!!:chr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Had a Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura and a Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Stout the other night. Both were very good. Drinking a Hofbrau Maibock right now.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Went a bit crazy with the 22's this afternoon. There was just too much selection!

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale
Southern Tier Oak-Aged Unearthly IPA
Southern Tier Gemini (50% Hoppe, 50% Unearthly, unfiltered)
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Rogue Double Dead Guy

Looking forward to one or two of these, and one or two cigars tonight. Now... when do I get off work??

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Last night was some DFH 90 minute on tap.....mmmmm.

Today I had a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.......mmmmmmmm

Today was also my first Founders KBS........mmmmmmmmmmm

I can understand the hype about the KBS.

To steal and paraphrase from Travolta in Pulp Fiction:

Goddamn! That's a pretty ****in' good milk shake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty ****in' good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Drinking a Summit India-style Rye Ale now. Not sure yet what comes next.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Tonight is some Rogue Mom Hefeweizen

If so... One of my favorites!!

Its the Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, a bit different than the regular Breakfast Stout. I believe its a completely different recipe and it is also aged in bourbon barrels.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Tonight it is warm enough to sit on the porch with a Rolling Rock.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Finished my evening with an Oskar Blues Ten-Fidy which I thought was outstanding!

love me some Saisons, :dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Tetleys.

Got to get back in shape for the summer beers. This is one of my all time favorites, lighter body but flavorful, and with a low abv it's a great session beer. Excellent drinkability.

I'm always looking for something session worthy for the summer beaches, so if anyone can turn me on to one of their favorites that's big on flavor, medum light on body and low in alcohol like Tetleys i'm all ears:banger

This is a really good one Vic, get it if you can.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

I recently came to the realization that there are several easily acquired "BA Top 100" beers that I have not tried. La Fin du Monde, Rochefort 8 and 10, Fantome Saison, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, etc. So over the several few weeks I hope to try each of them and post reviews.

Today I had my first Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, and was suprised at how well I liked this. I do not typically care a great deal for hefes, but this was as nice a beer as anyone could ask for. I can see myself drinking plenty of these in the summer.

Here is my reviiew of Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. I gave it an "A".

Quote:

Poured from a 16.9 oz bottle into a stange glass.

Appearance- Pours a hazy orange/tan, with a huge white head. Like a lemon merange pie.

Smell- Mostly ripe banana, but also some clove, pepper and biscuit. The initial aroma of ripe banana is terrific.

Taste- Sweet banana, but not cloyingly so. The citrus notes come through the sweetness and offset it nicely. Notes of clove and pepper. Overall this really comes together in a well balanced manner, each flavor component complements the others. This is not a "hop forward" or a "malt forward" beer, but rather a very well balanced beer.

Mouthfeel- Crisp, well carbonated, smooth, light mouthfeel, easy drinking.

Drinkability- I am really enjoying this beer. There are other styles I prefer to hefeweizen, but if I want to drink a wheat beer, this is the one I would choose. Well balanced, refreshing, easy drinking; this is the perfect summertime beer.
