Gone Away IPA from Half Acre Beer Co, Chicago

Another winner..less citrus than previous, which makes me happy!

As we do around here quite often, I'm sharing with Mrs D and her mom, Steel Bender Brewyard "Tangerine Dynamite" kettle sour (6.1% abv, 5 ibu). The can says it all - tangy, citrusy, smooth.

Last for the evening - another limited release from local La Cumbre - "Big Door Prize" is a single hop dbl dry-hopped dbl IPA (say that real fast a few times!) coming in at 8.0% abv, ibu n/a...juicier and hazier than last year's release...great brew.

That's a delicious looking !

Your consciousness is a precious entity do not entrust it to cheap ****.

A break from the usual hops I love so much....local Bosque Brewing "Fresh Start" breakfast ale/stout (6.3% bv, 15 ibu). Super smooth, nice sweet touch as it goes down.

Of course....dang auto-correct! Any lasting impressions/rating?

Data from Untappd:
- Marryin' Berries I gave 5 stars, so clearly I loved it.
- Lacto Vs. Evil I gave 4 stars, so liked it a lot
- All of the Things I also gave 5 stars
- Cactus Wins the Lottery I gave 4.5 stars

These are all sours, several are Berliner Weisse. These were all of my highly rated Ex Novo beers. I've had some other styles, but rated them more like 3 stars. So I guess my opinion is they make really good sours. Decent other beers.

I may be slightly biased. This is my favorite beer.(I've done considerable research) If anyone is in Tampa in early November, I throw a big Erdinger party. Look me up!

German wheat beer. Not spicy like all the other wheats. American craft brewers can't approximate it. My elixir of life. Hasn't failed me yet.

Amazing. Erdinger is one of the better German breweries, and one that can be readily obtained in the US. I'm impressed with that collection. Weirdly enough, my Untappd only has ONE checkin from them, the Schneeweiße, which is excellent. But I know I've had a ton of their beer, as I lived in southern Germany for a year. Plus I've bought it in bottles in the US. I must go out and specifically buy some to check in on Untappd and up my beer count.

Had a disappointing experience last night. Bought a Crux Stout and was very disappointed in it. Normally I LOVE Crux. They're in my top 5 Oregon Breweries for sure. But this Stout had none of the flavor characteristics they described, but it smelled and tasted hoppy and bitter. Nope, thanks.

Like almost the exact opposite of a stout....batch went off the rails somewhere down the line?

I'm having a bomber of Stone "Mojay" hazy IPA (7.6% abv, 100 ibu). I'm a bit of a sucker for Stone stuff, it's almost always minimum vg -> vg+ so I usually grab 1 or 2 singles of the seasonal stuff that makes it over my way.

 

[Strilo]

Love Stone. Their w00tstout is a thing of beauty.

Sharing with Mrs - a bomber of Rogue "Hazelutely Choctabulous" (5.7% and, 51 ibu) - a blend of hazelnut brown ale and chocolate stout - like the bottle sez....candy bar in a bottle.

Another dark and malty one - a GABF gold medal winner from a local - Boxing Bear chocolate milk stout (5.2% abv, 20 ibu)

Waldschmidt Jacobi Weissbier

I thought I’d might join the beer thread with this one. Creamy and quite fruity with hints of banana.​

 

[Strilo]

I don't think we get that German beer in the US. I've never seen it.

Nor have I.

 

[Strilo]

Small town right on the Bavarian border with Czechia. It would seem they distribute to Japan, though!

 

[Lute]

It's only on sale for a few months a year here. It might not be my favorite, but it's interesting. I usually try to pick up a bottle or two when it comes in. I just can't resist a weißbier when I come across one.

 

[Strilo]

Agreed on the Weißbier. Probably my favorite style.

Shared one a little different with the Mrs just before dinner - a bourbon barrel-aged "golden stout" from Bosque Brewing dubbed "Double Sunshine Stout" (8.4% abv, 25 ibu). Not really my thing as the taste of bourbon isn't one I gravitate to, but an interesting one to try for sure.

Sharing again, a 16oz can of La Cumbre "Space Man(atee)" pomegranate kettle sour (4.0% abv, 5 ibu)...light, easy to enjoy. Love the can!
