san francisco sampler
at lori's diner in san francisco, i got to sample the following six bits of ambrosia:
green flash's le freak - 9.2%
speakeasy big daddy ipa - 6.5%
21st amendment brew free or die ipa - 7%
stone brewing arrogant bastard ale - 7.2%
deschutes hop in the dark cda - 6.5%
napa smith organic ipa - 7.1%
le freak: i was leery of trying this one because its a belgian style tripel crossed with an american double ipa... but fears were for naught! the hops, love the hops! it didn't taste belgiany to me. clear and pale and delicious! 2 thumbs up!
big daddy ipa: definitely bananas and bread, not the hoppiest. clear and pale. at first i only gave it one thumb up because it wasn't doing it for me. too fruity and not hoppy enough for me. however, i helped one of my buddies drink theirs at the end, and i loved it! so 2 thumbs up is my final decision!
brew free or die ipa: malty and hoppy - what a great combo! clear and pale and delicious! nicely citrus on the hops, most enjoyable! 2 thumbs up!
arrogant bastard ale: i'm pretty sure i've had it before, but just to be sure i figured i'd better order it! yes, its mega malty and hoppy both. i believe however that i am so worthy of this beer! 2 thumbs.
hop in the dark: a black ipa - yay! chocolate and hops together - fabulous! yummy! i love it! i'd better be able to find it somewhere around the wilds of vancouver or imma cry. 3 thumbs!
organic ipa: organic feels like such a green option! i enjoyed this tipple, but there's a flavour in there somewhere that i can't put my finger on that i could do without... i get the hops, i get the malt and the burnt sugar nose... but there's something else in there dammit! just the one thumb i'm afraid.
i was fortunate enough to find both the 21st amendment and the speakeasy on tap at other fine drinking establishments i frequented and enjoy full pints of their frothy goodness.
i love san francisco!
