Tasting a few of the beers my Latvian friend brought me as they were visiting us last weekend. Problem is I don't speak a single word of Latvian so can't really tell a lot about them :D

First one is pretty good, has a bit of a hop bite. The second, I'm told, is brewed with meadowsweet extract. Tastes a bit like nettles to me. The last one was ok but a little bland, I was expecting a bit more malts from that one.
 
Youngest son hit Tree House and Trillium recently and brought me some samples.
This Green! is delicious and confirms what I've been tasting in my own Galaxy juice bombs.
Two pints up! :mug:

That has been one of my go-to beers lately when i'm on the road and need to buy something. Lately i seem to be getting a lot of them that are usually packaged within the past few weeks. Definitely better when its really fresh!

I totally agree. These were canned 3 weeks ago. Not bad seeing they had to ship them across the country and get into distribution.

@RevKev, went to buy the white monkey tonight and it was going for $24 a bottle. There were a ton of them. I think I'll wait till they get marked down or go on sale. Sour Monkey is my favorite. Here is a nightcap.

The 10th..took the granddaughter to the Houston Museum of Science that day. Great time if you ever get the chance. Paleontology exhibit is top notch. Did the planetarium and butterfly exhibit. Sorry, but missed the Chemistry exhibit, ran out of time.
