Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA- think I got a fresher bottle than the one I had a long while ago,I like it better now than then, pretty shure the first was an older/aged bottle of it.
 
First time from a can. I agree with others who say it's better than from a bottle.

Told ya, it's bomb in the can!!

Oh, and have I thanked you for this yet?

Can't wait! AFAIK that would be the first first successful Heady clone, so I am rooting for y'all to nail it. In other news, you're about to be super jealous. I am drinking Porcine Unidragon; it's Blaecorn Unidragon brewed with beechwood smoked malt and aged in bourbon barrels. Delicious and chewy! :ban:

Hanging with some Hoes on a Friday night.

It's Battle Corriander / Battle la Belgique. Two epic bottle conditioned noveau Belgium bogth featuring corriander and unique yeast character.

We have Hoegaarden. Smooth, corporate, balanced, crisp. So easy to love and hate. Then on the other side, we have New Belgium Trippel. Hippy, green, independent, phenolic, life out of balance.

The winner: Hoegaarden. Wonderfuly balanced.

The New Belgium Trippel just misses the mark. Not like it's a bad beer overall. And at $7 for a 6 pack of 7.8% beer, you get your money's worth. It, like all New Belgium beers I've tried, totally lacks balance. This horribly peppery yeast they use just sucks. No fruity, no nice sweet pils notes, just a cheapo two row feel to it. Too peppery, overblown corriander. I tried their IPA too. Awful. The hop bitterness pairs with the peppery yeast about as well as ketchup pairs with wedding cake.

Now you've given me another reason to check the beer store. I finally got my hands on a Genghis Pecan, cant wait to try it. I recently tried a Tramp Stamp and was very impressed. Haven't seen that one yet so I'll keep my eyes out.
 
My Dickens Cider.... I love that name lmao. Its a Apple-tart cherry-honey cider, cyser technically. My first attempt at a Zombie Killer clone and its pretty close. I think more honey in the next batch and it will be damn near a perfect clone. Either way its really good.

I have a 2010 I picked up in September. Probably going to open it soon.

I think I need to go buy a bomber of the 2010 helles from the corner store....
 
Is that the same as the one I see in the six packs with the black label and hops for a background? I tried that a long time ago and like it a lot. That one you have there looks like it's something special.

Limited, Unfiltered Double Simcoe. Bit more of a hop showcase this way. Got this from a buddy in PA for Xmas along with the glassware. Best part is even though I poured two, only one guy drank 'em. :tank:
 
Nice! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. All I've seen around here is the regular Double Simcoe.

Think PINE. Like intense artificial pine. That's the aroma. The flavor is super complex, hops, fruit, caramel, toasted bread, bitter citrus fruit and more hops. It's a really deep beer, as it warms, it's just phenomenal. One of the better DIPAs I've had.
 
Sierra Nevada pale ale. Apparently it's bottle conditioned. I'm thinking about trying to harvest some yeast just for fun. I recently built a stir plate and got an Erlenmeyer flask. Might be fun to test it out

Is it OK for me to freak out like a school girl about to meet Justin Beiber now?
