I am 4 deep into a DFH 60 min 6er.
Hoppin HobGoblin2 (I added the Hoppin part). Orphy's recipe, I accidentally trippled the hops. Bittering is falling off, just a bit, after two weeks in the keg. I am now enjoying it a whole lot more since I am getting the flavoring and aroma hops. Got a sixer of Sam's Boston Lager while getting fuel ( I love that sheet! ).
Finally found a 6 pack of Widmer W'10 Pitch Black IPA here in the SF bay area.
I had one... Very Tasty. Almost worth the wait.
For St. Patrick's Day I decided to go with a beer from a brewery whose Brewmaster is actually Irish.
Marin Brewing Co.
St. Brendan's Irish Style Red Ale
A clear burnt amber color with a small beige head. An earthy hop aroma with a touch of yeast esters, and a slight bit of caramely oxidation. Flavor is evenly balanced between the malt and hops with a touch of roast character in there. Not much crystal character in the beginning. A touch of burnt caramel comes through in the finish. Very clean malt profile and easy drinking. A slight bit of oxidation in the flavor, but I would blame the handling more than the brewer. Even though Bevmo had this in the fridge, who knows how long it had been in the back? Overall, a nice beer that is true to style and is easy drinking.
