Several months ago, before I embarked on my HB journey, I was at a good friends 40th birthday. The circles I run in include multiple beer nerds. Like Dungeon Master level beer nerds. The head nerd brought a HUGE variety of very sought after beers for us to sample. Lagunitas Sucks & Brown Shugga, DFH 120, Pliny, Jai Alai, 2 Hearted...on and on. He's big on IPA. Many samples poured, many 12 oz. party beers poured...some bourbon I think.
Anyway. There was a beer. The beer. One that I have reminisced about since. I know it wasn't Sucks, may have been 2 hearted or Jai Alai, but it has floral and tropical notes out the nose. I was literally take aback by the floral aroma and flavor in this beer,so much that I got pretty vocal about hops being a flower and my lovely wife had to remind me that I was drinking with church folk.
Can anyone help me remember which one it was? I was in a drunken stupor and the host can't remember either...and I only see the head nerd at church anymore, not the best place to tell someone I was too drunk to remember what I drank.
