Here's another D9 beer that fuse and I discussed briefly here a few weeks (months?) ago:

I bought a 12 ounce bottle for $4 (IIRC) while I was gose-shopping several weeks ago. At 14% ABV () for a sour and at that price, I thought it was worth a single.

Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
DFH SeaQuench Session Sour v. Mother Earth Mojito Berliner Weisse
Who ya got?
Both excellent beers, and not a fair straight up comparison.
Mother Earth takes the victory, simply on the basis of a more complex and complete beer.
The mint makes all the difference.
Don’t get me wrong- you want a fairly tart, limey sour, SeaQuench has you covered.
Mother Earth Mojito has a better nose (fresh lime and mint compared to a fairly nondescript SeaQuench) and the mint is just a nice little lift that softens the beer.
What do you think?
I'm also going with Jade on Draft.
We had dinner at Foothills tonight on 4th St.
Jade IPA - Foothills - 7.4 % ABV - 86 IBU - on draft
"bold, citrusy Pacific Jade hops lend striking tropical fruit notes and a hint of peppery finish to this easy drinking IPA. Dry hop additions of Chinook and Citra add heady aroma and bold flavor."
Pour is golden, dark yellow with thick, lacy, aromatic head that waits a while. It smells tropical pineapple, piney, and like orange peel.
This beer is much better than its components sound like they should be. I didn't think I liked Chinook. This beer is drinkable, smoooth, and just beautifully balanced. The mouthfeel is thick, full and oily. But it's uber refreshing. The slightly bitter finish and after-taste is not at all off-putting.
It kills me to say this, because I like to think I'm a tough rater. But this was Fuse Catgory 3. I was blown away how good this was for it's style. At the brewery maybe I got this thing so fresh they maybe made it today. They were busy on a Monday, so I'm guessing these kegs turn over fast. And it's not Zillacoah atmosphere (safe to assume, never been there) or Bhavana gourmet. But it's Good bar-food. Their ketchup was completely home-made. My wife got a pear arugula salad that was pretty good. I got the chef's 3 pulled chicken, guac tacos with fresh sweet potato fries half-off for $6.
I've found Foothills beer to be hit or miss. But when they hit they make some outstanding beer.

Raptorial - Craft Hoppiness Project - Hazy IPA - Foothills draft - 5.8 % ABV - 54 IBU - brewed with 5 different hops, triple dry hopped with Citra and Simcoe
Again this beer was much better than I expected. Fuse Category 2, not as good as the Jade but great beer. It was straw colored, I wouldn't go so far as to say hazy. It smelled very tropical with some citrus - nice aroma. It was light, smooth hops, not bitter; with a little more citrus and tropical flavor persisting. Clean mouthfeel. The finish is dry.
I couldn't find a month or date for this article but thought it was an interesting read as I had a NEIIPA last PM with Enigma and Vic Secret hops.

Hoping Bond Brothers has an adequate beer supply for the evening...

Bond Brothers did indeed had an ample supply of drafts for an always fun meet-up with fuse, made even more delightful this time because the lovely and vivacious Love Ninja joined us! More later.

Feeling confident Bond Brothers had more than enough for the three of us, and then some 😀
Here is a reason why I love the beer community.
Walking back from picking up my four pack of AMB Yosef at devildeac’s car, a couple with a child in a stroller notice the four pack I am carrying.
“Oooh, where did you get that?”, the woman asks.
“Just picked up this four pack from a friend who got it for me in Boone,” was my reply. “You want one?”
“Yes, I am an App State grad,” is what I get in return.
So I crack one of the four pack out and hand it to her.
I feel VERY fortunate to participate in the pay it forward life.
Devildeac, thanks for creating the opportunity.
Will review one of the remaining three soon.
No Bond Brothers beer review beyond it is always a good time to hang with devildeac and shoot the breeze on life, the universe, and everything.
