beer Being Crafty

[Grass Snake]

Recently discovered this limited release from Cooper ale works in Oklahoma. Their F5 IPA is legit so thought I would try this and glad I did. First sip is like getting stung in the nads by a bumble bee. So glad the honey didn't make it taste like a cough drop like others I've tasted which was a real turn off. They don't specify what hops are being used, just says American hops.

That dark foam on Oz's stout looks baller too ...

Nice color on that. It looks like sweet tea.

Not sure I've mentioned this before but....
 
Has anybody noticed all of Ozzy's beers look extra bubbly in his pics for some reason? Hard pour maybe?

 

[grantmichaels]

Cold, big beers

Huge stouts are usually more bubbly than foamy.

Hard pour at the end too. It looks pretty flat now and n the last drink.

Wha? You may need some niotro in your life, or just a really good stout. You've been sipping too much La Croix.

Had a can of Guinness yesterday, first one in over a decade. It wasn't bad, certainly not memorable but not bad. And it kinda made me think I should try some good stout. I haven't bought or drank any stout or porter for that matter in many many years.

From my experience yes.

Only the cherry lime flavor is good lol!!!

Btw how was your trip to Aslin?

The trip to Aslin was successful. The line was the longest I've seen there. I'm sure there were people that left empty handed. They put out two great DIPAs, and increased can limits to 12 Master of Oranges, and 8 Mind the Hop.

Guinness showed me there was light at the end of the tunnel, and then was never good again ...

Cone Flakes IIPA
We call it Cone Flakes because you might as well have poured hops into a bowl, added beer, and used a spoon.   Cone Flakes is brewed with 6 hop varieties strategically added during the brewing process to provide a maelstrom of fruity and herbal hop tones.  Look for flavors of mango, ruby red grapefruit, melon, passionfruit, thyme/herbs, black pepper, lime, and pine.  Malt not forgotten, a base of UK pale malt and German Vienna provide just enough body and character to keep the bitterness and ABV from getting the best of the flavor!
