HB Strata IPA

 

[fourfarthing]

HB Saison with what I thought were oxidation issues.

Cracked an ESB with known oxidation issues and decided the saison is phenolic.

Said Remmy it and grabbed a beer made by someone else to save my palette.

Ot tasted that way 6 months ago. Heck even 3 months ago. Really went south. One of my best recipes though.

Too bad. I guess looks are deceiving. Just looking at it I can taste the English malts and mid level English hops.

 

[Section1]

This is good. Thank you @Section1

@camonick it is pretty good beer. I don't see it many places but I pick it up when I see it.

HB Raspberry Kettle Sour

HB Brett Saison. This one doesn’t suck.

@fourfarthing Golden Perch Saison. Really good looking orange tinged color, nice and clear. I don’t get oxidized. There are some phenols on the nose, but not too much. Nice prickly carbonation. I really like it. Going to the saison guidelines, I get some weight on the finish, which at first I thought was under attenuation. But as I drink it, I think it’s dry. Maybe some adjuncts or spices?

How do you compare the phenols in this to the ones in my saffron tripel (which I find to be too much). I’m wondering if it’s a function of being overly critical of your own beer. This was really good. As was the ESB.

2 of my all time favorites.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

I liked that beer. Citrus and leather were my main take aways. Had a really pleasant, soft, funky finish.

I actually think I picked up some extra phenols rather than oxidation and today was a bad bottle as the last one I had seemed great. Would say the ESB went south the last month or two in a bad way, but you likely have a point on self criticism.

HB Stout from @Section1
It was a bit of a gusher for some reason but otherwise not too bad.

Change brewers? Went there visiting SLO a few years back and beers were so-so but service was terrible/rude. Of course, will try again... possibly this summer.

OT- milk, whole, organic, on the rocks

Wow. Sorry you had a bad experience there. We've only been out here in CA a few years but during that time I've found their beers on par, if not better than, Firestone Walker's standard lineup (non- barrel aged beers). They've won several GABF medals for their house IPA and Pale Ale. Let me know next time you're in town and the beers are on me. Can't lose that way.

This is excellent!

Much needed right now. Ran Ethernet cabling from my office on the second floor to the basement, then across the basement back up to the first floor living room. Speeds are where they should be. These power line adapters are nice in theory but the killed my speed, about an 80% loss with them.
