How's that taste? It looks beautiful. I'd be interested in a recipe if you don't mind sharing.

Dempsey's PSA "Extra" IPA
Crazy malty, smooth. Not as hoppy as expected, little grassy. A solid local beer.

Bells Hopslam 1-10-13 bottle. Hmm,this 2nd bottle Im noticeing the weird dry astringent/grainy taste to it. Astringent/medicine/alcohol drying grassy maybe? Didnt notice that before on my first bottle the other day.Pretty euphoric aroma though.Sometimes if my fridge is too cold,I think it does something not good to my other beers also though, for some reason it seems. Its good it does seem a little off in taste somehow though.Yeah I think it has hot/dry alcohol to it.Mmm minty mouthwash.
Not that I use scope but it does seem to have a resemblance. Makes me want to gargle a little. Seems a little unstable. Maybe when the hops mellow it will reveal its identity? Maybe I should fridge age one and celler age one,think I may do that.

Bonus! The label peels off clean.
8-bit pale ale,from Tallgrass. Its worth trying but not buying 2- 4 packs like I did really in my opinion.I woulda been ok with one 4 pack. Summertime and outdoors, I guess that would be better having more of them. Not exactly my kind of pale ale though. Think Id rather have a SN Pale over this really,maybe.
Some home brewed sake

Seems like anytime I buy anything from Lagunitas, I have a hard time not drinking it all in one night.
Good morning ibuprofen!

I found a 6 pack of Lagunitas Sucks but was working and in a work truck so couldn't pick it up. Gotta convince SWMBO that we need to make a little road trip to a liquor store to pick it up.
Super sour and super delicious. The head died really quick, but that's OK. I really need to see if I can find this locally. Thanks, Nordy.

Mmmm.
This is such a good IPA. I hadn't heard of the brewery until a few weeks ago. Very glad I picked this up.

Heh, it's funny how people keep referring to the product from our thread as sake. The only thing it has in common with sake is that they are both made from rice.
I hate the "no beer in company vehicle" thing. It's not like I will be an idiot and drink it from the bottle!
Now this is a damn good IPA sent to me by Nordy. Hops are a little fruity, a little floral, even a little piney. For a west coast IPA it's kinda sweet up front but it still finishes nice and dry. Thanks, man.

I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from the Midwest, so I'm slowly (but surely) trying all the new brews I find at the grocery store.
Tonight, it's Kona's Longboard Island lager. While I don't know what the style guidline is for 'island lager', this beer is exactly what I expected... vision a bunch of tourists sitting at a Waikiki beach bar, pounding these down one after another. That's exactly what it is. That said: I'm actually enjoying this. As a brewer who's tried to do Light American Lagers myself, it's REALLY tough to brew this style! There's nothing (malt/hop flavors) to cover-up your mistakes when brewing Light American Lagers. I'll put it to ya this way... If I were trying to homebrew a Light American Lager, and came even close to this, I would be completely satisfied. This is a great example of the style. It doesn't have any off-flavors at all. It smells nice, is balanced, is clear, the 'early morning pee yellow' color is right on the mark, and it finishes clean and crisp. This isn't like Bud/Miller/Coors puts out... I don't detect any 'beachwood' or 'rice' (adjunct) flavors. So I would guess it's all-malt. I think Kona brewing company hit the bullseye with this beer.

How's that anti-gravity camera working out for you?
Seriously, though how is that? I really liked their dopplebock so if that's any indication of the level of beer they're putting out in the series that's a good beer.Right now I am having a Size 7 IPA courtesy of my man, Nordy. It's even better the second time around. Thanks, man!
