I'm with you Ken... Need to stop buying already... ****'s getting out of hand... Another Etre Gourmet order incoming tomorrow...

I hope you grabbed those Oxbow beers they just put up. You can't even get those at the brewery or in stores in Maine. Crazy that they ended up on Etre.

If there's anything I can do to help, or if you wanna meet up, just let me know!.. My French is horrible, and I'm a practising recluse, but I do meet up with fellas who like beer

Thanks a lot

Omnipollo Nebuchadnezzar -- most enjoyable IPA/double IPA I've had in a while. Didn't expect it to live up to hype but it is a well made, well balanced beer. Lots of citrus, floral notes, and tropical fruit up front, bitter aftertaste but a touch of honey-like sweetness mixed in. Good balance. Good looking beer too.

I agree with indesertum, btw. This thread is really nice. Learning a lot.

IPAs are all so good, was really impressed with the Mosaic single hop

Traded a CD11 for Lente...​

Picked up these today. I'll report back.

The Porterhouse Hop Head is not very good. Pretty thin, slightly metallic and overall quite boring.

The Equinox SHIPA is nice. Impressive what flavors a single hop can develop. It says guava/papaya on the label and it totally tastes like it. Full of exotic fruit flavors.

Now on to a bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Then top it off with the Bottle by Numbers stout. Passed a slightly dreaded exam today, which was very important, so I'm just relaxing now, watching series and enjoying some nice beverages. Anyway, three exams down, one to go, but the last one should be a piece of cake.

Got most of the coming fortnight off, ànd I thought National Beer Day was today, so I opened up my last bottle of KBS. It's better than it was fresh... It only has about 10 months on it, and was fridged, but I still feel as if it has smoothened out a bit...

i love the coffee cocoa taste when you drink it fresh, but it's too hot for me. glad to hear it ages well

Brew by Numbers' Imperial Stout is interesting. Very velvety. Soft and little carbonation. Pretty rich but also sort of light in taste, if that makes any sense. Very bitter, quite sweet. Not my favorite, but definitely interesting.

 

[indesertum]

found this today. can't find a date but tastes a month or two old. that grapefruit is pretty prominent tho. i like

this is great. really really juicy with a nice dankness to it. very clean tasting. has a very strong bitter bite to it in the finish tho. one of the best IPAs from oregon and totally worth $4.

Is Grapefruit Sculpin hard to get?.. Actually an IPA I'm interested in

I picked some up a few weeks ago at a random liquer store outside of Boston. If that place gets it I think any place that carries ballast point gets it. Haven't seen it in dc though
