Sesh.

Sweet and tropical. Thiccc. Boozy. Big finish to the evening.

We’ve got the funk! Funky as always.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio GRVLR

Exceptional. Sour cherries. Tart lambic base. Dry.

Nucleogenesis GRVLR

Hazy, bitter thing. Citrusy and floral aromatics in a dry body. Fantastic brew.

Lean In GRVLR

It said “with grapefruit.” It definitely is! Properly bitter, but well balanced. Very juicy. The flavors are quite bright. Cloudy hazed body. Nice!

Murmuration GRVLR

All about the hops, which are pretty dank. Tropical fruit. Grassy with some herbal undertones. Sorta tangy, very bitter, despite how light it is.

Quality geuze. Sour and dry. Slight grassiness. Smooth and refreshing.

Juicy. Stone fruit and mango. Malty with the style specific piney bitterness.

Another quality KBS

Light session brew. So light that everything is very muted. Not a bad brew, but not very interesting.

Pineapple jolly rancher! Sweet honey and sour fruit.

Strawberry O GRVLR

Unmistakeable honey base. Strawberry sweet and sour candy flavor profile.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) GRVLR

Such a deep flavor profile. The underlay is all KBS. Rich cocoa and vanilla accents envelop the base. Bitter coffee is dancing in and out. The body is very thin on the palate.

KBS Espresso (2021) GRVLR

Standard KBS, with a lot of coffee.

KBS Hazelnut GRVLR

Quite nutty. Hazelnuts and chocolate envelop a coffee infused roasty malt body. The barrel aged character, the bourbony oakiness, of standard KBS is subdued. Slightly boozy.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) GRVLR

Vintage check in

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA GRVLR

120 is pretty good. This is pretty amazing. Big thanks to Scott F. Sharing it with my pops. Tastes like no other Imperial IPA. More like barley wine. But that’s cool.

A lot of flavor. Fruity, maraschino cherries. Bourbony, barrel aged character.

Drinking with a German colleague. He approves and has authorized an exception to the Reinheitsgebot. But a 50cL pour! Egads!

Big Doink GRVLR

Delicious dry-hopped brew

Grand Cru Bruocsella Brut Bxl Beerfest V.2022 GRVLR

Celebrating a birthday…not mine. Fantastic brew.

Kriek 100% Lambic (2021) GRVLR

Exceptional. The tartness of the cherries sits well with sourness of the spontaneous fermentation. Drying finish.

Founder’s Oatmeal Honey Stout GRVLR

Soft, creamy oatmeal body. Roasty malt, hints of tobacco and leather. The honey is lingering about, but it is not forward. Bitter finish. Dries out nicely. Very smooth. #pureMichigan

4 Giants Hazy IPA GRVLR

Lions on the telly, and they’re scoring like it’s 1956! Back in the Mitten.

Blended for BXLBeerFest. Rare! Two 4 y/o lambics and one 3 y/o, aged on a single use cognac barrel. Absolutely sublime. Soft mouthfeel. Gentle sourness. Peppery bite. Cognac overtones.

Grand Cru Bruocsella Lambic Bio (2018-2019) GRVLR

Courtesy Chris Y. Sour and funky. Almost no carbonation, but it’s surprisingly great like that. Slightly acidic.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2022) GRVLR

They’ve honestly outdone themselves on this. And I’m enjoying every bit of it.

Zwanze 2021 - Parasol GRVLR

Bitter orange on lambic is not a bad thing. At all. Really digging this.

Camerise (2021) GRVLR

Beautifully floral. Nice spice. Fruitiness is a mix of cranberry and apple. This is just amazing.

Wowzers! Sour. Super sour. Apricot.

Christian Bale Ale GRVLR

Hoppy. Fruity, mostly citrus. Dry throughout, bitter finish. Light on the palate.

KBS Espresso (2020) GRVLR

This delivers. Big, boozy, and strong. Thick, creamy body. Lots of coffee. W Mich represent!

Nuke the Fridg GRVLR

A fantastic brew. But the bitterness isn’t from the hops.

Æterisk GRVLR

Light and smooth, a little creamy. Just vegetal. Nothing else. Might sink it. Maybe not.

Hoppy haze. Bitter pine, sweet pineapple. Dry finish. Crushable. All you could ever want, except one more…this is my last one.

Geuze Mariage Parfait GRVLR

Sour and dry. Tarty fruits. Bottom bracket done.

Versus: Dual GRVLR

Spontandryhop Mosaic GRVLR

These are some interesting brews. Definitely sour. Tarty fruit. Dry.

Spontandryhop Centennial GRVLR

Dry and woody. Tarty. Mildly Sour. Hoppiness is real subtle. Smooth and well balanced. Nothing is off here. Missing Denmark.

Mirroring GRVLR

Canned on 20/7…this is fresh as fuck, and it tastes like it. Hoppy, but nuanced. A lot of citrus, grapefruit and lemon. Soft on the palate. Finished up with a mild bitterness.

Nuke the Fridg GRVLR

Local, sort of. Super juicy and fresh.

Winter Hexagon GRVLR

Hoppy and boozy. Peachy. Sweet. Turns bitter at the end, and then the hop burn sets in and it’s intense. Big and bold for sure.

Ampersand: Mosaic GRVLR

Getting ready for Denmark. Maltiness similar to the other Ampersands is blurring the unmistakable hoppy dankness lurking about. Tropical mango is the primary essence, the dry-hop is keeping this interesting. Kinda sweet.

The Gate GRVLR

Smooth, fluffy oat rich body. Hoppy. Tropical fruitiness is mostly pineapple, with peaches and lemon sneaking in. Bitter. A bit rubbery.

Trip Hazard GRVLR

Sweet, malty backbone. Hoppy: tropical fruitiness, pineapple. Bitter and dry. Boozy.

Ampersand: Idaho 7 GRVLR

Single hop Idaho 7, giving off strong citrus fruit notes: grapefruit and pomelo. Some floral and piney aromas. A touch malty on the finish, with some mild rubber.

Ampersand: Citra GRVLR

It’s dry and bitter! Single hop, and dry hopped too, you’d think this would be more hop forward. Mostly herbal, a touch musty, maybe some citrus… easy to drink, light, crisp finish.

All Day Vacay GRVLR

Light and citrusy. Definitely wheaty. This would session pretty well…but I gotta get on a plane.

Unraveled IPA GRVLR

Still juicy and still tasty. Last had this as COVID was seeming to surge upon us, fitting coda as we seem to be getting it under control.

Porter GRVLR

Gonna have to bump the rating. This is way better that my previous rating. Roasty and toasty!

4 Giants IPA GRVLR

Blend of the 4 giants, aka the 4 Founders flagship IPAs. It’s okay, neat concept, so-so execution. But, hey, I’m in W Michigan, so there’s that.

Rosé de Gambrinus GRVLR

Raspberry!!! Tart and sour. Refreshing! Lockdown is done!

Oude Geuze Boon (2018-2019) GRVLR

Tart fruitiness. Sour, a little funky. Dry finish.

I put Tommy on, because a rock opera was appropriate for the hop opera here. So much awesomeness. Get one for you to enjoy.

Bourbon all the way through, lots of coffee and vanilla. Roasty malts. Mellow and smooth. #MerryXmas from Belgium

Mosaic Promise (2020) GRVLR

Floral hop. Piney bitterness. Smooth. GR is still BeerTown, USA #pureMichigan

Techno Viking GRVLR

Honey sweetness. The real show here is the fruit: mango and raspberry stand out. A bit of citrus too. Thick mouthfeel.

Your Weekend Lover GRVLR

Repeat. Totally legit brew. So smooth, light, and crushable.

Your Weekend Lover GRVLR

Honey sweetness, with lime and basil. A little tart. #QuarantineLife
