    Nrrrrvous is getting nervous. Might need something to calm his nerves. Is there a thread around here that could recommend something?

    Double dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Vic Secret. 7.7% ABV. Pours a thick gold with some hints of brown. Also really dank, but not as dank as Yellowed Postcards. Some underlying citrus. Another well-balanced standout. Cat 3. Really terrific beer.
    Holy Schnitzengiggles, Tripping William was right; again!!

    So Desu (draft)-New Anthem Beer Project

    Sometimes, it's real local. And *not* German.

    Credit- $10/32 ounce growler special, my credit card, Ymm, Beer and TW refreshing my memory last week; thanks!!
    Style-NEIPA (dare I say NEDIPA?)
    Format-^^^^
    Stemware-Founders snifter
    Appearance-yellowish gold, big time head; who put that tropical smoothie in my beer glass?
    Nose-^^^^
    Mouthfeel-pulpy
    Tastes-fresh squeezed OJ with a fair amount of rind; pineapple, mango, pith, papaya; dank is another very good descriptor, too
    IBU-probably 50ish
    ABV-7.7%
    Overall impression-a Veil and/or Burial quality product
    Ymm, Beer rating-mid level cat 3; sooo happy this still tasted fresh after >2 days in captivity; ecstatic to have another serving tomorrow night, too

    You know what's funny. For the first few days seeing Clemmonsdevil's posts, I thought he was Clemsondevil. I think I suffer from alcohol induced dyslexia.


    But I've got it straight now! Great to see a new face around, er, you know what I mean...

    How'd you arrive at ClemmonsDevil for a DBR screen name? The Clemmons part is easy...

    My dad coached a Duke player in high school and I got to be around the Duke program because of him. I was regular smart, not Duke smart in high school and went to UNC. Very weird. All of my buddies knew I was a Duke fan. No one ever gave me a hard time. I was fairly good buddies (we golfed together a few times) with Dante Calabria and he grew up a huge Duke fan.

    My favorite Churchill comeback.

    I believe it was lady Astor who said to him "If I were married to you I'd put poison in your coffee!" To which he replied "If I were married to you, I'd drink it!"

    Winnie is the best. Reading The Splendid and the Vile about Churchill and the Blitz. Good stuff. He is a fascinating guy.

    Story goes, A woman scolded him “Winston, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink.”

    To which Churchill replied “Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it!”

    The best Churchill book I have read was "Hero of the Empire" by Candice Millard. She is an amazing writer.
