Maximus, in collaboration with a liquor store and local beer club: Una Maximas, NZ rice lager.
👃🏻Grape, lime, peach, chives.
👁️ Light yellow, hazy. Stable white head.
👅 Dry, thin body, but the hop aromas make for a tasty brew. Very refreshing, and easy drinking. Very slight hop burn.
Had a fun time barhopping with some friends yesterday, a belated celebration of my wife’s birthday. It’s also the first (and much needed) “out with friends” time I’ve gotten since my dad died.
Our first stop was The Perch, a fun #brewery that doubles as an exotic bird rescue. Our second stop, The Sleepy Whale, is one of our favorite taprooms. We rounded out the day with stops at QuartHaus and Pedal Haus Brewing. #beersofmastodon#chandler#arizona
@rscottjones@donburnside Ray Rd was a dirt road, and my tiny subdivision (at Williams Field Rd and McClintock) was surrounded on 3 sides with fields and on one side with nothing.)
In a masterclass, we learned all about blending wild ales, and how to construct a balanced yet complex beer based on mouthfeel, bitters and acidity. Quite the art!
You Can’t Take It With You - Silent Brew - 5.5% ABV. B++, hazy murk. Fruity, juicy, hoppy, hint of earthiness with a lingering fruity bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
Hissing Prawn Destroyer - Silent Brew Co - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, juicy, citrus, tropical with a hint of earthiness and a earthy, bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
Pavo - Squark Brewing - 3.8% ABV. B+ and a bit, fruity with a hint of bubblegum with a gentle fruity, bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. The rain is stopping but the pub is getting even fuller. Luckily I have a direct line to the bar. Fair weather drinkers. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Punk IPA - BrewDog - 5.2% ABV. B++ and a touch. It’s still got it and in one of those glasses I didn’t think existed. Prost #ale#beer#bier
3.6/5. I could probably stay all day in The Posset Cup but they would need and better beers. However, this Punk works #mb06#beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Cosmic Pale Ale - Tiny Rebel / Greene King - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, maybe with a hint of fruitiness as it warms up? #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. The FA Cup is now up and working on the TV. Ironic that it’s easier to get Tiny Rebel in Portishead than Newport #mb06#beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Love Monkey - Glastonbury Ales - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, hoppy, malty with a hint of sweet jam. Gentle earthy bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. They were trying to get the FA Cup on the TV but I think they have given up. Streaming on personal devices is the way forward. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Galaxy Single Hop Pale Ale - Only With Love - 3.9% ABV. B+, a little thin, fruity, juicy and refreshing. Gentle fruity, bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
3/5. Pleasant but could be so much more and I’m not get IP Addresses on either phone on the Siren’s WiFi. Oh No! IT failure day. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
