It was interesting, odd and IMHO not worth the $$ (though I didn't buy it so...).

I have not tasted the 2011, but have tasted other years. I agree, not worth the money.

Over lunch this afternoon:

Brooklyn the Companion
Green Flash West Cost IPA
Ska Nefarious Ten Pin Porter
Stone Smoked Porter

All on tap.

The Brooklyn had good body, clean and refreshing.

The Green Flash was a bit too hoppy and bitter for pure pleasure drinking.

The Ska was solid and a good session beer.

The Stone still perplexes me. I generally like Stone brews but this one has an odd component on the nose and palate that I find a little off-putting. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Tonight at a family graduation dinner for my son:

Quadrium Urthel Samaranth
Trappistes Rochefort 10
Brew Dog Paradox Port Dundas Imperial Stout

All rock solid.

Lagunitas Pale Ale New Dogtown

Greenbush Brewing Company Closure Pale Ale.

Recently:

Bells Two Hearted Draft
Brooklyn Winter
Magic Hat 9
Magic Hat Ravel Porter
Magic Hat IPA on Tour Wheat IPA
Magic Hat Howl Black Lager
Stone IPA
Stella
Dog Fish My Antonia

I confess, Corona, Bud Light and Miller Light supplied by others on the tennis court

Beers on the tennis court.

Two Brothers Hop Juice double IPA.

Stone Levitation

I enjoyed quite a few beers over Christmas break. What I enjoyed the most: full sail ipa - after a week of hoppy, malty, spicy, big, pronounced beers, this ipa was perfect. Not too bitter, but great floral hops. Great late hopped/dry hopped ipa. The other, a surprise, was coors original. Left them on the porch in the teens weather great day drinker while watching Blair Walsh not win(to say he
Ost it would be unfair) the outback bowl for the dogs.

I just tried this last night on a whim and found it very appealing. What are your thoughts on this?

otter creek 20th anniversary

While watching the Lions last night:
Bell's Lager
Allagash White
Lagunitas Sumpin Ale

New Belgium Brewing Snow Day.

Hawai'i Nui Brewing Golden Ale.

Nice, light and refreshing with just enough body to make you think you're actually drinking good beer. Looked unfiltered to me. A bit on the cloudy side like you might see in a wheat. I prefer it over the Summer Ale I had yesterday.

Lagunitas Sucks Holidays Leftover Ale

Any good?

Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop Ale - A nice IPA without being in the over-the-top style that so many are these days. A lot of nice citrus notes. 24 oz bottle.

New Belgian for me - Gulden Draak.
Not my fave but very drinkable.

Yeah, it's pretty damn tasty. Going to see if I can get a little more from the stock room tomorrow.

This beer always causes me to think of Ghent, where I had a great number of excellent meals and beers.

You would not want to drink too many Gulden at 10.5%.

Mirror pond pale ale last night in my new spiegelau beer stems.

Maui Brewing Big Swell IPA

Deschutes Green Lake Organic Ale on tap

Hawaii Nui Hapa Brown Ale

Perlenbacher pils

Fat Tire with my grilled pizzas.

Saint Arnolds Brown Ale

Samuel Adams Winter Lager

I love Fat Tire. It's brewed in Ft. Collins and, yet, it is not available in Utah.

Trappistes Rochefort 8 - One of my go to Belgians. Love this beer.

Great beer!

It really is. I'd crack another if I wasn't driving to dinner. You don't taste it but the alcohol sneaks up on you!

Last night, Weihenstephan.
I normally enjoy weiss beers, but this one seemed to have a weird plasticky aftertaste. I was trying it with a friend of Austrian decent who knows his brews and he shared the sentiment. It's possible there was in issue with the tap lines, storage or something else.
