First of all, a huge thanks to my regular and frequent trading partner, Ehammond1 in So-Cal. He’s always hooking me up with interesting beers and I’m grateful for his willingness to think of me when he gets something cool.<\/p>\n

Enjoyed from a trade with my buddy Eric. Enjoyed in a tulip at fridge temperature.A – Straw gold appearance. No head formed.<\/p>\n

S – TONS of simcoe on the nose, hints of pine cone and tangerine.<\/p>\n

T – Taste is very nicely balanced. A combo of very low malts and a hint of bitterness from Simcoe and some other more piney and citrus hops. Some grassy characters. Sweet\/bitter finish.<\/p>\n

M – Medium carbonation and body<\/p>\n

O – This is a nice beer. It\u2019s very drinkable and the 7% ABV is VERY well hidden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks Eric! Enjoyed at 45F in a Tulip.A – Nice depth of bronze golden orange. No head.<\/p>\n

S – Heavy hop bitterness. Tons of pine, hints of grapefruit.<\/p>\n

T – Very interesting taste. Up front, it\u2019s very sweet. This is followed by a piney hop bitterness. Lots of astringent characters and nice sort of tropical pineapple finish.<\/p>\n

M – Heavier body than expected, light carbonation.<\/p>\n

O – This is a very drinkable IPA. The 8% is well hidden. I was told it compares to HFS. It doesn\u2019t but it\u2019s still very good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks Eric for the bomber! Enjoyed at 50 Degrees F in a Tulip.A – Deep dark amber brown in the glass. No head, amber hues but ultimately, a very dark beer.<\/p>\n

S – Lots of Fall spices in this beer loving the cinnamon and nutmeg and very raw sort of pumpkin innards on the nose.<\/p>\n

T – Sort of an earthy musty up front taste, brown sugar and spices at the middle. Finish is VERY well balanced with spices and other goodness. Wow.<\/p>\n

M – Medium body, light carbonation. This is very nice residual sweetness at the finish.<\/p>\n

O – Nicely balanced beer! Very pleasant to drink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
