Enjoying a pint of Firestone Union Jack. It’s definitely OG IPA. No tropical or even much citrus. Thinking a clone might be in order….

I’ve gotten odd readings if the glass and cover aren’t dry before I put the sample on it.

Hurt - Johnny Cash. (orig. 9 inch nails) This really haunts me…

I can see clearly now - Johnny Nash

Moonflower - Santana

Moonhead - Pink Floyd (boot-leg)

Had to see what that was… Even more bizarre than I thought. Catchy tune, but I need subtitles :mug: .

99 Luftballoons - Nena ( I always thought the German version sounded better.) I wish there was a HBT. Radio station. The music alone is really great!

The Way - Fastball

The beer is HB Saison. The nifty new glass came from a visit to the Ghost town Brewery Tap Room in Oakland. Outstanding beers! Nice flight of tropical IPA’s and this one, Curmudgeon, a bourbon barrel altbier with vanilla notes.

I start at 64-5 and finish at about 72 F. I’ve never tried to push it towards 80. (I can’t get and stay there. It cools down overnight here.). I’m thinking about it though.

I’ve used 1762 Abbey II in hoppy Belgian ales. I had very good luck at 64-65 degF. I wanted more ester-y flavors, so I switched to 3522 Ardennes, my current favorite for Belgians. Good luck!

Let Me Touch You for Awhile - Allison Krause and Union Station

Could Have Been Me - Billy Ray Cyrus

Serpentine Fire -Earth, Wind, and Fire

(Can’t get no) Satisfaction - Brittany Spears Filed under Covers from Hell…

Side by side between Leffe Blond and my first go at Revvy’s Belgian Blond Leffe clone. I couldn find WLP 530 and used Imperial Napolean. The latter seems to want to make more Saison like ale. It’s tasty, but the Abbots don’t have to fret about their 780 year old recipe. 😜

A New Drug - Aesthetic Perfection

Thelonius is one of my favorites, too. It’s a bit strong, but worth it. My favorite Dubbel recipe uses no dark roasted malt, but uses D-180 Candi Syrup. It’s quite special - no burnt notes. It has Maillard conversion flavors of dark fruit like cherry and plum in layers.
