More De Garde + Bottleshare
Release of Mulligan in bottles happened on Thursday, so I dropped in really quick before heading over to a bottleshare.
Bottle of Mulligan on the left, Cranberry Bu Weisse on the right. I think batch 1 is better, but this new batch is still phenomenal.
Onwards to BeerMongers!
Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock: Way to start a tasting with the sweetest beer here you idiot. Ugh. It was tasty though, just too sweet for me.
Bruery Bottleworks XII: WHERE ARE THE RASPBERRIES?! Other than that, tasty. B
Hill Farmstead Birth of Tragedy: Just as good as always, the 8 months that this has been aging has really brought the coffee forward. I can taste it now! A
More bottles arrived shortly after this was taken. Gotta love Thursdays?
Fantome Extra Sour: A Fantome beer that doesn’t remind me of bacon?! WHAT?! A
Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio: Always tasty. I was surprised how much better this beer was in comparison to the 375 ml bottles that I have opened in the past. A-/A
Hangar 24 Bourbon Cru: Not bad, but nothing really special. B
Dystopia is very generic.
HOLY SHIT WHALES!!!!
Southampton Black Raspberry Lambic: Really damn good. Very savory for a raspberry sour (I wouldn’t call this one a lambic). Nice dry finish too. It trades ridiculously high, too high for what it taste like…..but we all know that taste doesn’t correlate to trade value. A+
Crooked Stave Surette Reserva: Meh. C
Crooked Stave Petite Sour with Hibiscus & Cinnamon: I love this beer. Too bad I don’t have any left. A-
Goose Island King Henry: This beer has certainly dropped off a bit, but given that, it’s still quite good. I also think the original price sticker is a nice touch! B+/A-
Upright Blend Love 2012: This is aging better than the newer, 2013 version. I love this beer. Shame to think that my last bottle is going to Guatemala. A
Surly Darkness: This is what Dark Lord wants to be. A-
Revolution 3 Year Beer: LOTS of rum in this one. B+
Crooked Stave Origins: Very tasty, but I wish the label said, “Grand Cru” on it. A-
Upright Lactovasilios: Not doing bad at all. I wish it was more sour though. B+/A-
