Enjoy while you can!

I have to say some of these have been hit or miss for me but lately I have been pleasantly surprised. I hope Palafrenero stays on through the week cause I have to buy more of these

While I won't miss rwitter's curt and often condescending posts in this thread

I will.

I dunno if it's just me but did anyone else notice this batch of Abner is just absurdly good? Had one at Blackback Friday and then a growler Saturday and it just blew me away. Seemed different than I recall but in a great way.

S&S 5, Edward, Harlan et al were all tasting great as well.

So what is everyone thinking about Works of Love: Tired Hands?

It's light on the carb with an extremely simple nose. Meyer Lemon and some lemongrass but it is a little medicinal in the nose.

I'm getting a vey sweet tartness that reminds me of Anna a little. Some lemon soured oranges perhaps? It finishes sweet with an good amount of dryness. Love it!

And yes it's true! I have no idea what to take from the spicebush. What is a spicebush anyways? Maybe I should have researched before tasting.

Overall thoughts? It is excellent! I really enjoyed this much more than I expected to. Not ever having a beer with spicebush though, it intrigued me.

Someone share what they thought of this beer with me please!

I ******* told you... Spicebush is a stripper. Os said she's probably a ginger.

Erazo and Mark agreed so it must be true.

Drink at your own risk, pal.

I got a very "botanical" nose, almost like one would expect from juniper berries or gin barrel aging, then a lot of lemony citrus in the taste. Really enjoyable beer.

All the hops I had from HF this past weekend seemed like they were dramatically better. I liked them before but Edward and Harlan were much improved. Did he change something at the brewery ?

 

[Fahmie25]

looks like a new IPA available this week as well!

• Three Magic Letters: American IPA brewed with Simcoe, Nelson, and Riwaka hops. 6% abv ($8/$16)

This batch of Abner is fantastic! Noted it when I grabbed a couple growlers a couple weeks ago. Abner is one of my all-time favorites from Hill so I get it everytime it's on when I'm up there and I must say this time was an extra special delight.

that sounds tasty

 

[MikeG1]

Not sure if this has been posted yet but there's apparently a new HF beer upcoming called "Marie". Possibly a reworked version of "Mary"? Wasn't Shaun toying around with the idea of offering a Helles in bottles sold only by the case?

Not sure if this has been posted yet but there's apparently a new HF beer upcoming called "Marie". Can't tell if this is the name of the Unfiltered Helles or a different beer:

Three Magic Letters used to be a rotating series of IPAs from HF. I think it became Excursions in 2014, according to this thread from way back when.

Yup, agreed, the Abner I had at Blackback was the best Abner I have ever had. A little juicier than previous batches, the malt was pushed more into the background of the beer, perfect amount of bitterness, and no presence of booze whatsoever.

Believe it or not, George isn't at home, leave a message at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home. Gone to Hill.

Looks these got pulled from the board for the week , I am looking to trade for some bottles

 

[COX]

Just had an Earl bottled 5-6-16. I was expecting the coffee to drop off from the last one i had around christmas, but i think i enjoyed this one better than any i have had since release. Anyone else notice this from this batch or Earl in general as it comes up on one year in bottle?

 

[Mikecap]

Helles

****.

 

[preluderl]

I just want E. to somehow still be available next Friday...

 

[JulianB1]

Conduct of Life and Double Galaxy on tap make me want to jump in the car and drive back again this weekend.








Almost.
