tasting notes
tasting notes from february 16th's beernesday:
you know the notes are gonna be interesting (trying not to insult myself here) when the top of the sheet has a little note that says "its official, i heart ipas, i heart being a little drunkish"
i went with five pints of ipas
no samplers, just jumped right on in there with full pints
pint #1 was the crannog insurrection ipa
st. a's said: 5.4 % 100% organic. pale amber body emphasizes munich and caramel malts, with enough sweetness to hold up the rather large volumes of fresh cascade and golding hops
i said: bitter - goes well with the smell of bbq wings. i like it, but not my fave. not super hoppy
pints #2 and 5 were howe sound's total eclipse of the hops
around which i drew a heart and said: i love this one. so happy its back!
pints #3 and 4 were the dead frog citra ipa
i said: okay, i like this like a whole lot. so nice i gotta have it twice
and what did others have?
well, i ordered the howe sound rail ale nut brown for my friend ticha, and she liked it
amanda had the dead frog chocolate mint and was not a fan; the lost coast raspberry brown which she said she was getting some soap from; lagunitas brown shugga and was not a fan - she found it too sweet and heavy like a syrup; the eel river acai berry wheat which she loved; lost coast great white which she found to be lovely and crisp with a slight citrusy clean refreshing finish - tastes like a waterfall she says
sarah is a hop head as well and she loved the total eclipse and the dead frog citra, she is not a fan of the central city belgian tripel or esb
