tasting notes
tasting notes from february 23rd's beernesday
i began this night of far too many beers and a nasty thursday morning with a sampler
howe sound's high tide hemp and honey ale
st. a's said: a smooth lighter ale brewed with barley, hemp and honey. brewed for the annual test of metal mountain bike race in squamish
i said: i like it. not so light but i can see it being awfully refreshing after biking
lagunitas brewing's the hairy eyeball
(i mean how could i not with a name like that??)
st. a's said: big, brown warmer with several types of chrystal malt
i said: dark and delicious
howe sound's rockfish red ale
(fundraising ale for cpaws)
st. a's said: a red malty ale with a pleasant citrus note brewed with chinook, cascade and mt. hood hops and munich, caramalt, chocolate and roasted barley
i said: i like it, i like it a lot. looking forward to buying a case in squamish on march 19th in support of the fishies. i have a major love for howe sound!
rogue chatoe dirtoir
st. a's said: jet black in color with a tan head, medium to full bodied, deftly balanced, seamless dark roasted malt flavors with a smooth bitterness
i said: so dark & malty - completely opaque. ya know, bridget needs to try this one!
(in fact loved the dirtoir so much that i got all the other stout lovers at the table to try it, and they all bought pints...)
after the sampler, i had to move on to pints of my ipas
its just how the night had to go...
dead frog citra ipa
st. a's said: a true ipa with BIG citrusy hop flavour and robust alcohol content
i said: i really heart the citrus
i used to love dead frog - back when they first started out i thought the nut brown was a masterpiece, but they've been a bit less than consistent since then... and i know some beer geeks who hate this ipa... but i love it, like a whole lot!
howe sound total eclipse of the hops
st. a's said: a supremely well-balanced and drinkable imperial ipa weighing in at 90 ibus and 8% alcohol
i said: always heart this
and i do. its a staple for me whenever i can get my hands on it!
tree brewing double hop head ipa
st. a's said: loaded with five different hop varieties, this bold imperial ipa is not for the faint of heart
i said: dryish, not as citrusy as the dead frog. its okay but i don't love it
(funny how different ipas taste different to me depending on what they're next to... liked this one fine two week's before...)
and then because i apparently don't love myself enough, i had another pint of the total eclipse
i mean you gotta while its still around...
