Ymm, Beer

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing accompanies burgers very well. 🍻

An eclectic mix of eight NC beers acquired from a funky little local shop in Aberdeen, NC. More to follow, beginning tomorrow. Drink Independently, my Ymm Beer friends.

Here ya go (had to resort to crazietalk to find the date; didn't try the search feature here ):

From Thursday PM, an early brew for killerleft's Virtual Pub on Saturday:

Iced Latte IPA-Casita Cerveceria and Siren Craft Brew collaboration

About halfway local, I think

Credit-RJ199 traded this brew session before last; many thanks!!
Style-sounds like a milkshake IPA to me
Format-pint can
Stemware-Stella snifter
Appearance-hazy amber orange; moderate tan head
Scents-coffee, vanilla, orange
Mouthfeel-pinch of bitter
Tastes-cognitive dissonance; coffee, pineapple, orange rind; who put that tropical fruit juice in my java?
Hops-Mosaic, Columbus and Cashmere
Grains-Marris Otter (UK, I think), malted oats, flaked oats
Adjuncts-lactose, vanilla and coffee
IBU-perhaps 40?
ABV-7%
Overall impression-an unusual combination of the above ingredients that is well executed and paired well with some triple chocolate cake
Ymm, Beer rating-low cat 3; innovation, uniqueness, pairing; an orange pineapple coffee shake; might not be for everyone but I really enjoyed

Casita Cerveceria Iced Latte IPA

I searched for devildeac’s review, thread search no help.

Surprisingly coffee nose with some tropical fruit.

This is a highly unusual beer.
I’m not quite sure how it works, and yet, it does.

Orange juice start, rough iced coffee finish is the best summary I can offer.

This would be a brilliant breakfast beer, alongside some eggs and an english muffin.

Cheers! 🍻

Burial doesn't just brew fabulous IPAs and IIPAs. More tomorrow.

Foolery - Hardywood Imperial Milk Stout aged in bourbon barrels, 2020 version. 13%, after twelve months in bourbon barrels. Big chocolate, vanilla, and caramel flavors, hints of dark cherry, tobacco, oak, and a nice warming finish. Seems like everyone is doing BBA Stouts. But this is Goose Island level, high cat 3. Spectacular.

Is that a new Hardywood beverage or is that something you delivered/traded in the past?

Thanks! I actually wish you would have tried to pull some Trickery on me.

Wish I had some Puffery after the Christmas Island last night. Or some Milk Man or Milk Maid. What?!?

D9 Cucumber Melon Gose

First one opened from the eclectic mix. Bright gold. Virtually no head. Everything about this beer is subtle. Hint of melon. Very slight hint from the cucumber. Nice and salty, with just the right amount of tart. Mega-refreshing on a filthy hot Carolina day. 🥵

Blackberry Raspberry Berliner Weisse

Well, I just had to find this given discussion here.

There is such a joy and delight in unexpected beer colour.
What is it about a rose coloured beer that evokes a grin?

No head.

Nose is almost like spoiled vanilla- rotten, sweet in a good way.
I don’t really know how to describe the smell.

Sharp effervescence dances on the tongue, giving way to ripe, luscious dark fruit. While the flavour trends to tart, not sweet, this is a subtle sour.

I see what the fuss is about. This is a fun beer to savour and enjoy.

Cheers! 🍻

That might be an interesting side-by-side with Anderson Valley’s Briny Melon Gose, though my memory may not be correct WRT any cucumber added.

WMB really needs to follow up this brew with one called Tropical Shorts☺️.

Nightcap last PM:

A Cursed Path to Nowhere-Burial Beer Company

Calling it local is fine with me.

Credit-our son received this as a trader from a friend last week and shared it with me; thanks!!
Style-flavored imperial stout
Format-500 ml bottle
Serving vessels-snifters, of course
Appearance-dark, dark brown with a wispy tan head
Scents-cinnamon and coffee
Mouthfeel-roasty bitter and a bit thin
Tastes-leads with cinnamon and coffee followed by vanilla and a bit of chocolate covered nuttiness
Adjuncts-coffee, vanilla beans, salted hazelnuts and cinnamon
IBU-35
ABV-12.5% (whoa!), yet quite smooth and no alcohol burn
Overall impression-very well concocted
Ymm, Beer rating-low/mid cat 3; not much from Burial is cheap and I'd guess this was $15+ but it was an outstanding pour

Just had one of these fresh on draft with Mattman and our better halves. Refreshing beer and even better company.

I started with Thrilling Daydreams - DIPA - 7.7%, 91 IBU (Nahh it went down smooth and fast) - Mosaic, Citra, & Sultana

Website tells me it starts juicy cantaloupe and dried mango. Melon aroma and taste balanced with fresh hops. I don't know, I was enjoying strong Cat 2 NEIPA and even better company.

Cheers!

Its interesting that I find cucumber in beer quite a good addition, and pickle is a step too far.

Westbrook Lemon Cucumber is another good cucumber beer.

Trying to recall a watermelon beer I didn’t enjoy.
