LoloMT7's Bitter Saison. not so bitter that it covers any Saison character. some grapefruit flavor and aroma. I can see drinking a LOT of this in the summer.

Finally my wee heavy while heating my strike water for a citra apa

Sam Adams alpine springs. My wife loves this stuff. Ok I don't mind it either, rather tasty toast!

This might be my last one ... and I haven't seen it on the shelves lately

Correct! Except I had to use CTZ with the Citra. You provided me all the malt percentages though (back a hundred pages or so on this thread) and you told me to choose a flaked (I ended up using rolled oats) I love it. If I do it again I'll cut down the ibus or skip the 60 min addition all together and do only later additions. Your always your own worst critic though. For my first ever saison I think it's good stuff

samples of my split Saison experiment.

the WY3711 is in the PBR sampler and the WLP565 is in the Schell's sampler. as you can see the 3711 dropped very clear as the 565 did not. the 3711 dropped from OG 1.047 to a FG of 1.004 & the 565 dropped to 1.013. I have taken readings a few weeks ago and confirmed they are done. the 3711 is definitely drier & more tart while the 565 actually let the hops shine a little more. I think I'm more of a fan of the 3711 at this point.

Still have a couple of these beauties lying around.

It never made it up my way. Our LHBS has a waiting list for order and only one case per. What it a fair price for Sucks. I don't want to pay there cooler bill this month. They also have waiting list for nugget nectar, I still have about 7-8 of those. But I guess you can't have too mant

Drinking some dogfish head-on Nobel rot and go growlers of bigfoot by sierra Nevada and dry Irish stout by Brooklyn. Growers need to be more common down here.

Harpoon Rye IPA after a couple of my English Browns.

You should move here. Growers are quite common

Busted an old modelo bottle while bottling today, decided I'd just drink it.

Pale ale

Very excited to announce, I just poured my first pint from my brand new keg. Waited two looooong weeks for this moment, and wow is it gratifying. This just made me very happy. Cheers.

abita Spring IPA.

O'Ryely.. Yum!

And the Oscar for best Imperial Amber goes to...

Not as hoppy as I was expecting based on Lagunitas' reputation, but a very solid beer. Me likey.

For some reason Lagunitas hasn't been stocked up in the stores around here lately. I do see Cappuccino stout bombers, IPA, Pilz, Dogtown, and Hop stoopid still all the time. But Brown Shugga, and Lil sumpin sumpin are missing from the shelves HELP!!!

I've never tried that Censored before but i did brew the "Can you brew it clone"
It's on tap at my place if you want to swing by and compare.

Drinking my homebrew Red

Package ready to send for our trade mcbaumannerb.... seriously heavy as ****!

I like it down in Texas . I have four growers in my truck right now. Lol filled two I already have and found another store that does them and got two. I got sierra bigfoot, Brooklyn Irish stout, buffalo bayou coffee ipa, and a local stout I having tried yet. Got some drinking to do the next couple of days lol

There is a new place called growlers in the Montrose area. The replace all the air in the growlers with co2 so the beer stays good for up to 6 months (what I was told) I had some that was two weeks old and tastes very fresh

What do you think of the Bayou Sunset? I didn't care much for it.

I haven't checked them out. I've been to Premium Draught in The Heights and they shoot C02 in before they fill and they cap on foam. I was very pleased with the experience I had there. Hopefully I'll have time to look at their bottle selection next time I go.

Earlier: Anchorage Galaxy White IPA , have the starter for my clone going. Now I just need to find some kumquats.



Now: my citra saison. Down to the last few bottles, I hate to see her go, but I love to watch her leave....fortunately I dry hopped version 2.0 today. It's my 'improved' saison grist (now with oats for better head retention!) and dry hopped with half Nelson/ half Citra.





And in between yet another grav sample from split batch of petite saison- dry hopped with citra, conditioned with cantillon Brett, lacto, and a bit of oak.

Short snifter of a 2012 Schlafly 21st anniversary Single malt scottish. I recommend ageing this unless you like a peaty/heavy scotch wisky barrel overpowering taste. Its like
a KentuckyBourbon Ale on steroids.

my own face. what?!? GET SOME!!!

and I blended the dregs from both those Saison batches. gonna wash & use the whole dram thing in another batch. and I ended up with 1/2 bottle from each batch, so I blended them.

Ceregio Sangiovese Di Romagna. It's a nice Tuscan style red, but now from Tuscany.

I had some of my American Lager earlier, and also a taste of my Ruination clone. The Ruination is 8.2% ABV, that should have a kick.

brutha, if you can find a sample bottle of the Johnny Green or Gold, pick them up. much better than the black, but not as good as the blue.:rockin: and I'm a fan of Glenmorangie. haven't tried their upper crust stuff though.
