What looks like effervescence in this Sour Monkey by Victory Brewing is actually a bunch of brewing or fermentation crud still in suspension, possibly yeast. Trub, crud, what’s the difference. 9.5% ABV, Pilsner malt, Tettnang hops. Pencil width of head disappears in seconds, zero lacing. I read somewhere that brewing is the one field where you sell your rejects to your friends to drink.
This beer tastes like feet to me. Even though I’ve only had several feet in my mouth over the years, I think I enjoyed the real feet more than I’m enjoying this beer. Who releases “beer” like this???!!!!!!
Save your money. This one’s a dumper, right down the warehouse sink!

Its a Snack attack.
Gawd, why would anyone take a good tripel and funk it up like that? Thanks for the warning and sorry it was a dumper!
Many would say it’s a very good beer. Seems my entire local club loves it & one member brews a clone/tribute regularly. Victory is a quality brewery. Old & or mis-handled cans from Penn to Cali seems more likely.

Its Riwaka! Catboy’s new friend is riwaka. This is definitely the strangest hop that I now love.
Lemon Drops on the verandah.
Ya, it was a rhetorical question, and I’m not a sour fan, though I brew them on occasion mostly for competitions or an unintentional opportunity happens.Many would say it’s a very good beer.

No worries! I’m not big on sours Ither, though my hb pal’s rendition of sour monkey is very nice. Just in case you weren’t super familiar with Victory, didn’t want you to sour on them.
Their golden monkey was an early craft beer turn on for me & their pilsner is immaculate.
All Day IPA with a beef roast that slow cooked all day. Hot beef sandwiches tomorrow.

Been meaning to clone that or brew my own hoppier version of All Day. Mostly so I can pour 16oz pints with little guilt!
OT. *****, Riwaka is tasty. So tired, gotta’teach’ at 9am but this is so good …

No need for the hop stopper on that one!! Never seen the bottom of my kettle look that clean!
Yup I’ve enjoyed Golden Monkey.No worries! I’m not big on sours Ither, though my hb pal’s rendition of sour monkey is very nice. Just in case you weren’t super familiar with Victory, didn’t want you to sour on them.
Kegged a brown porter earlier today, then spent several hours explaining to bwible how I make clear lagers...cripes, I had no idea it was that complicated. I just thought you mixed the grain and the hops together with the Rocky Mountin Water...
I had no idea it was gonna need the doing of the numbers and the doings of the rithmatics and the knowings of the instruments and the ingineering of the doohickies.
This stuff is seriously complicated.
Honestly, I have no clue how we do it.
1.046 brown porter that stinks of chocolate malt. I've been looking forward to this one for about four months.

Three agonizingly long weeks without a dog in our house, we found our next adventure in Americas dairyland. This chapter is titled Harken. Only in wisco beers, many not pictured

Agreed. Have had some very fine Victory beers lately. Their Paloma grapefruit pale ale is a new favorite of my wife's. Although in comparison to my beer, almost anything tastes good to her.Many would say it’s a very good beer. Seems my entire local club loves it & one member brews a clone/tribute regularly.

It's official now. Coos Bay, Oregon is our retirement spot. Anyone familiar? Should be 3.5yrs away after GD graduates from HS. Doesn't hurt to take an early Zillow look.
Somehow this 10% $2drink seemed appropriate.

If you hate stinky feet beer, don't ever try a Jester King sour! I would stick with Berliner Weiss for sours if you can't hang with the stinky feet (bacteria/pedio).
I taste small amounts of diacetyl when others can't. Sensitive taste buds are a curse!
Inappropriate glassware...

Double Dry Hopped Pliny the Elder at the source.
Yes, that says 15% ABV:
Edit: and it tastes like vodka raisin juice. Just over-the-top raisin. Blech.

Do you get an hour nap laid out on the couch in the break room when you order one?

Ironic? Putting on a tribute song this Monday at 4:55 while opening a great package from @pshankstar Labor Day week had a lot of overtime and was long. First bottle I pull out is Margarita. Coincidence?
OT: now I'm thinking about vaca and a sweet mug I got on sale on my beer run on Saturday. Song reminds me of an old college girlfriend and a long lost weekend at an unexpected first Buffet concert
From yesterday (forgot to post
). Very nice porter
