![]() ![]() It was good IPA, I’d definitely get a six pack of these sometime. ![]() This 85 IBU, 7.5% ABV IPA was like the more drinkable cousin of Dorado (above). Tröegs Perpetual IPA – Tröegs Brewing CompanyĪ new (to me) offering from Tröegs. Gave me heartburn like holy hell – I’m actually going to the doctor about my heartburn this week.ġ2. It was good, but phew, it was intense (but nowhere near 120 Minute intense). Clocking in at 90 IBUs and 10% ABV, this Double IPA seems to ride the line between Tripel and Double. If there was one word I would use to describe Dorado, it would be strong (in italics). Dorado Double IPA – Ballast Point Brewing Company Allagash White (one of SB’s new favorites) is a twist on a traditional Belgian Wheat, in that it also has coriander and Curacao orange peel in the wort itself.ġ1. Whale’s Tale is a solid pale ale, with a blend of New England malts that give it is distinctive characteristics. While neither of these brews were new to us, they are both varieties that we like. Allagash White – Allagash Brewing Company (SB) Whale’s Tale Pale Ale – Cisco Brewers Inc. Lots of subtle flavors and a crisp but strong profile that would make this a good beer on both cold and hot days.ĩ. Stone is widely regarded as being among the best IPAs (up with Dogfish Head). It was dangerously drinkable.Ī gift from Aunt Train (along with some Harpoon). But I have problems with boundaries when it comes to beer. It’s kind of like a hoppier version of any generic American lager, except better.ħ. ![]() Like a lager, yet with the punch of a warmer. Another good “one and done” beer.Ī Samuel Adams classic, this is one of the better “macro” Winter Lagers on the market. The mix of spices was interesting (though not quite as unique as Old Fezziwig). I was expecting something special, but really it just tasted like an especially bubbly, yet highly average, light beer.Ī strong porter, which is aptly a blend of a winter warmer and a standard porter. Plus a beer named after a Charles Dickens character is too cool to pass up.Ī very light, highly carbonated ale. I’m not a huge bock person, but this one was a nice “one and done” beer.Ī very interesting ale with all sorts of spices and citrus flavors. Samuel Adams Winter Classics Pack – Boston Beer Companyīeers 1-6 are all Samuel Adams, this was a GREAT pack, I love the 2-2-2-2-2-2 twelve packs the most.Ī strong bock, with lots of spices underneath the strong cacao flavors. Due to the sheer number of beers, I’m going to keep my comments brief, but as always I will link to the Beer Advocate page if you are especially interested. ![]() In fact, I’ve had so much beer since the last post that I think I can happily call this a period of “Beersgiving.” So, without further ado, lets see what I’ve had. So, if it wasn’t obvious by the title of this post, there is going to be a lot of beer featured here. The nice thing about a blog is that it’s always there. A lot of it has to do with just how busy I’ve been, but I think I also like pulling back from my week-to-week blog schedule from time to time. I’ve been quite behind on the ole’ blog lately, but as I’ve mentioned before, blogging is an “ebb and flow”sort of deal for me, and I’ve most definitely been in an “ebb” period lately. Woo! Whole Foods Turkey Cupcake! (Flavored like Red Velvet, as opposed to turkey, sadly). Greetings all, and happy (very) belated Thanksgiving! ![]()
