Dude, you can't be a beer snob drinking Abita beer. It's like being a beer snob drinking Yeungling or Sam Adams. ;)


Yeungling is getting big Huh?

I grew up with it and went to college outside Pottsville, well Bethlehem Allentown area, toured the brewery 2 or 3 times, I would like to see if a yeungling beer I get from the Pottsville brewery tastes the same as a beer you get from the Tampa brewery .... Maybe we should set up a trade
 
Earlier:
Old Rasputin on Nitro
Boulevard Harvest Dance Wheat Wine

Now:
Orpheus Brewing Atalanta (Tart Plum Saison)
 
I would have taken notes, but it seemed snobby, and I didn't want to be an 83 percenter.

Giving notes on homebrew doesn't make you an 83 percenter, I wouldn't think, but I'm open to being proven wrong on that.

Beer'd Brewing P^2 Porter. Prominent roast in the aroma with some chocolate and coffee notes. Coffee, roast and chocolate in the flavor. Medium-full bodied, leaves lingering flavors well after sipping. Finishes slightly astringent from the dark malts with a firm yet balanced sweetness to hold the finish together. 3.75/5.

It's kind of annoying that I can't do a superscript and instead have to use a carat.

The thing that confuses me is that they're one of the biggest breweries as far as production, but they still have such a small reach. Abita is like 14th or 15th in production, but is in pretty much all the US and a few other countries.

I could go for that when it comes here. They still haven't come west of Alabama. I wind up drinking it for things like the Monsters of Rock Cruise since they sail out of Florida and don't have a wide selection on the boat.

That confuses me also, I think they are very selective on where they distribute, I have a friend in Boston that told me that yeungling just made it there, but if you get your hands on some from Tampa brewery let me know if you wanna do a trade

Don't need notes honestly. ;) It was a pretty solid Kolsch. A little hoppy and slightly yeasty for style, but Kolsch yeast is really lazy about floccing off. I enjoyed it. I would probably score it in the mid-30s judging, but I'd give it 4/5 caps hedonistically on "Untapp't".

2nd pour
