Try to enjoy it with cheese or fruit and you will pick up more of a caramelized sweetness!

Anything savory or sweet seems to enhance the flavor!

I have a couple of bottles resting!

Also, with the Ovila, don't drink this one ice cold!

I found it is better at 50 to 60 degrees!

I hear you, it's not easy. 55 degrees is great though.

EDIT I'm with you Darrell I like my beers around 55-60 degrees.

Did you get to try it? What did you think?

Had a Flying Monkies Netherworld last night. Trying to make up my mind about this.

Yep, it was very good, very balanced. Alost like a balance between a Belgian Wit and a Strong Golden, some wheat and esters but not too much, no alcohol hotness, some hop character but minimal, slightly spicy/citrusy, very well made beer. Very full flavored, they did a great job with this one.

Last night I had a Terrapin Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout, courtesy of Albert. My god, this beer is through the roof! I love this I hated to see the bottom of the glass. I got one more but I'll savor that another time.

Is this Wake n Bake or is that another? I see W n B on the label. Thanks Albert

Its Wake-n-Bake, due to controversy they had to shorten it to W-n-B, yet Sweetwater's (also in GA) flagship brew is there 420 pale ale. Go figure

Bell's Oberon. Great wheat ale, gonna be drinking a lot of this over the summer.

Three Floyds Gumballhead is still my favorite wheat ale though.

I still have yet to try the Oberon but did try the Oarsmen last night and it was quite tasty, its a light wheat beer but has a sour/tart finish. I liked it but I think it will be even better in the heat.

Good to hear this is decent. I have been debating buying a mini-keg of it from the local liquor store. They have it on sale for 17.99 IIRC.

Back to the brewery tonight for more Sierra Nevada Black Vapor!!!

Just saw this, Dave. You think so? I have heard that beer doesn't really age well/at all in cans. If it's bottle (or can) conditioned, it should age, right? I recently tried to drink a 4-year old OB Gordon that was totally disgusting... all the hops had faded and the malts were strange so I know beer changes in cans.

Personally I just think it's awesome beer

We cracked our first bottles of Founders KBS... Oh my god!!! YUM!!!

I was agreeing that it was the can that could have made it tasty funky. It's good fresh and that when it should be enjoyed. I wouldn't suggest aging beer in cans.
