Whatja Drinking for the Big Game?

[cd38]

Nothing special. Moose Drool and UFO Hefe for the wife

 

[beninan]

I'm drinking whatever is on tap... Yooper's Dogfishhead 60 minute IPA clone, my own Diesel Oil Stout and, although it is still carbonating, a Honey Steam Lager.






oh, and there's some pink colored soda on tap for SWMBO

Live blogging my superbowl beers:

Victory Golden Monkey

My experience with Belgians is limited so go easy on me:

Aroma:
Sweet with a bit of honey as I expect from Belgians
Appearance:
Golden but light, a ½ inch head to start that reduced to 1/8th later. Nice lace even with the smaller head.

Flavor:
Mostly honey with a bit of raison. Maybe a bit of clover. I know there are hops in there but I don't what they are.

Mouthfeel:
Very nice, full body but a dry finish regardless of the sweet honey/raison taste.

Overall:
A good beer but not my style yet. I 'm not big on the Belgians at this time.

Saw it at Walgreens and HAD to pick it up....

Is that the walgreens new beer??? How bad is it?

 

[clay3]

Started off with a couple DFH 60 minute ipa's. Then started pulling the tap on my Harpoon Winter Warmer modified clone and just poured the first beer of my 4 C's IIPA.

I went into the game not caring who wins because my Pats blew their shot but I would not mind seeing a great comeback. Lets see it Pit!

Boulevard Double-Wide IPA

Here it is with the Steelers getting their teeth kicked in in the background.

Next up: Kona Brewing's Fire Rock Pale Ale.

Aroma:
Sweet and bit floral. Think honey and roses.

Appearance:
Golden and reddish. Like a good American IIPA looks. The head never got above ¼ inch and died from there.

Flavor:
Once again, mostly honey with a bit of something strange. Maybe a bit of pineapple but that may be because I know it's from HI. The hops are not dominant unless that's the pineapple I sense.

Mouthfeel:
Full body with a long finish, I can still taste it.

Overall:
Decent but I won't buy it again on purpose. It does taste like it came from HI so if you you like HI cuisine you may like it.

FNG here, drinking my first batch of homebrew- American Blonde.

Tastes just like PBR. For $2.99 a sixer I didn't expect much, but it's definitely drinkable.

 

[mikeosoft]

I'm working on an Ayinger Alt Dunkel right now, put down a few Doppelbocks earlier.

 

[Homebrewtastic]

I have some English Pale Ale and a Kolsch. I like big flavors in little beers.

 

[two_hearted]

nyquil and water for me. Been on the couch for 3 days.

 

[Ravenshead]

This is going to be the last one I'm afraid--I drank. I'm cheating on this one since I've had this one before and really like it.

Lagunitas IPA

Aroma:
Citris and Pepper, there's somthing else there I like but I don't know what it is--wheat maybe?

Appearance:
Golden: This one had a ¾ inch head at pour that reduced to 1/8 inch but kept a good lace thoughout drinking.

Flavor:
Spicy malt flavor with a caramel finish that holds up the cascade hop IBUs.

Mouthfeel:
Full body malty flavor to start but it ends quick and dry.

Overall:
Sorry I cheated, this is one of my favorite beers. The only one better is Sumpin Sumpin.



Nite-nite

Now I'm drinking the bitter tears of loss.....

Congrats to all you Packers fans out there!

My girlfriend is a Steelers fan so for us...

 

[Acoma]

I was drinking North Cost Old Rasputin Imperial Stout.

 

[jbsg02]

I had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 

[D_Struct]

Chocolate Oatmeal Stout and a couple pear ciders.

 

[castlefreak]

New Belgium Trippel and some homebrewed cider... yummy!

 

[schweaty]

I was drinking homebrewed Pale Ale and Imperial Amber Ale.

 

[verbal144]

had a terrapin moo-hoo - milk chocolate stout!

 

[PerpetualBuzz]

had a terrapin moo-hoo - milk chocolate stout!

We were going to have a couple of those, but the table the glasses were sitting on was tripped over and the carpet got the bulk of my brew. On the plus side there are a couple of fresh ones in the fridge for later.

On another note has any one had Terrapin's #13 side project, Big Daddy Vladdy's Russian Imperial Stout? It's pretty nice too.

 

[mlyday]

Had a few homebrew cream ales, a hombrew red ale, A SA Noble Pils, A shot of captian morgans and a "BadAss Beer", its Kid rocks beer and it was pretty nasty.

 

[ArtVandelay]

Madtown Nut brown and a bunch of spotted cow

 

[BendBrewer]

Was drinking my house Pale Ale during the game but walked across the street for a 22 oz of HUB Organic IPA for some reason to have with dessert.
