Great review of a great beer. Fuse and I would've double your money back had you not like this one .
New Glarus stopped distributing outside Wisconsin a decade or more ago as they got tired of the "pay to play" scheme in Chicago.
Were you fortunate enough to obtain any of their other fruit beers like Raspberry Tart or Serendipity? Those are superb, too.

Fresh Catch-Narragansett Brewing Company (Rochester, NY *but* write or visit us at 461 Main Street Pawtucket, RI )
0318 1313:34 (so not really a "Fresh Catch" )
Last beer from my gifted birthday 6er last week. This was a pint can with a bright red lob-stah on the can, obviously an upstate NY variety )
Poured a golden-yellow with faint citrus aromas emanating through/from a foamy head. Writing on the can says "A refreshing golden ale dry hopped with Citra." I guess there are some traces of grapefruit and orange flavors present along with a light caramel sweetness and minimal bitterness. I'll guess 30 IBUs with the stated ABV at 4.2%. Not a stale beer but this likely was somewhat better a year ago. Meh. Happy to have tasted but certainly not search worthy.

Looks like a long, sordid corporate tale, with stops in Fort Wayne, IN and the Supreme Court, and an appearance by Curt Gowdy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrag...rewing_Company
... not to mention Dr. Seuss and "Jaws" ...
Honolulu Beer Works Cocoweizen. Yep, a coconut Hefeweizen. Pours cloudy gold with a tinge of brown. The coconut flavors are pretty subtle, and do not overpower the banana and clove. A refreshing, quaffable beach beer.
About to board the long redeye flight home. 😔
"Amazing what a minute can do."

2nd up - Death
Belgian Quadruple. Another part of their Trappist series. Aged 14 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. Really brings out dark fruit flavors. 10% abv, 41 ibu, 1.086 OG. Aromas of dark fruit, fig, red wine, vanilla. Toasty malt flavor, taste the fig, red wine and oak. Listed as a two time award winner and I can see why. Just another exceptional and unique brew.
So, I drank the bottle of “Death” I purchased, at the visit above. Truly a unique and terrific beer. I looked at the bottle closely after finishing, you talk about limited - they made 100 bottles. And I finished one without even reading the fine print. So I bought two more, and will be aging them. Maybe a 2020 tailgating offering...man it’s hard to age good beers.
Its been at least 5 years since I have been to Allagash.
Wow.
Ymmm, beer, indeed.
Novare Res in Portland ME is a legit awesome beer bar.
Crazy global and local list.

Let's see, I think mattman has been to the Czech republic and actually reviewed some of his tastings (). OPK was in Belgium recently and promised some beer reviews (har-rumph) and I've visited several breweries in Asheville but it has been a few years. Other than those, I got nothing.

Más Agave-Founders Brewing Company
I had my doubts about this one but they've all been dispelled.
It's an imperial lime gose brewed with agave and then aged in tequila barrels and is superb.
I sort of equally divided a 12 ounce bottle over two nights and was rewarded with a mildly hazy, amber pour with a small, off-white head that quickly disappeared. "Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville" comes to mind with the aromas of freshly squeezed lime juice, followed by dark caramel/sugar syrup and a gold tequila. It really tasted like a freshly made margarita with plenty of tangy/tart/sour lime flavors, to accompany the caramel/brown sugary sweetness, a modest amount of salt, wet wood and a good quality tequila (of which I know very few ). I'll guess the IBUs about 10 and the ABV is 10% so a rather high octane gose and there aren't many of those I've tasted either. I guess it could be paired with almost any fresh seafood or some flip flops, a beach chair, an umbrella and a generous slathering of SPF 50. Three remain from the $18ish 4 pack for sharing/trading. Worth seeking out.
I believe it's davec's turn now...
