sierra nevada – OK BEER DUDE

Beer 3/9/16

Schofferhofer- Grapefruit Wheat Beer Radler

Petrus – Blond Belgian Pale Ale

Petrus – Dubbel Bruin

Sierra Nevada – Hop Hunter IPA

Sierra Nevada – Torpedo Extra IPA

The Grapefruit Radler was almost lollywater. 2.5 percent , extremely easy drinking, a light grapefruit bitterness and smell. Its a weird one, its not bad but…yeah. If you want a session grapefruit “drink” this may be it.

The Petrus Blond is a weird one, I was expecting something lighter. Its more amber, with a good caramel malty taste, a bit of alcohol present too. Candy malt/syrup I think is what does it? Nice moderate bitterness from hops. Smells “Belgian” if thats a thing, a good malty citrus aroma.

Petrus Dubbel Bruin has a lighter alcohol/candy thing taste than the Blond, and far less smell, still has a light nice fig, dried date, slightly spiced smell thing going on though. The taste is so so, though. Its there, then its gone. Malty, a short sharp hope of what you smell, but thats it.

The Hop Hunter, no idea when this was bottled, cant find a date stamp. I’ve had this before, its Hoppy, but unless its super fresh as hell can I really say how this is much better than many big IPA’s? Still has that weird corner of the lip burn.

Torpedo…nothing to say, the beer that made me go FUCKING HELL and get into craft beer and know the potential of hops. Its still good.

Beers 12/8/16

Sierra Nevada – Hoptimum IPA

Founders – Mosaic Promise Single Hop Ale

Mornington Peninsula Brewing – Dogs Bollocks Nitro English Special Bitter

Anderson Valley – Briney Melon Gose

Been over IPA’s for forever now, no Idea why I still buy them. Hoptimum was peppery, very hop bitter.

Mosaic Promise wasnt bad, but I didnt get a sense of Mosaic, unless its a standard Founders hop and then its just a common hop taste…

Beer – 20/7/16 – Otra Vez

IMAG0192
After 2 of the Ace of Base Saisons, reviewed in the previous post...8.5ABV…gotta stop

More Otra Vez.

How GOOD is this beer? I would drink this as a regular sessional always if it was available at my local.
I HOPE to hell its still available here during summer.

Looks like S.N. have this listed as a Year Round beer, thank the Gods.
