Grassy dry citrus peel oil zesty DIPA. Once this brew cascades over the hump, the pine plank buzzsaw starts spinning. Clothes dryer nose? The write-up says four DDH hops…guessing Citra and Cascade for two of ‘em. Nice, worth the trip! Cheers!

My first Founders in a tall boy can! Pillowy soft oat/wheat whole-grain NEDIPA; papaya, melon and citrus vibes aplenty. Deceptive 8.4% ABV and 50 IBUs…I was expecting a monster, not a smooth steel-rail roller coaster ride. Waterfall finish. Cheers!

Dogfish Head Vodka Crush L

Catching an Apollinaris mineral water vibe in this orange vodka Spritzer. One of the 4 flavors from the Dogfish summer box. For me, not shabby. Seltzer-loving wife rated the whole box a miss…too cocktail-y. Clearing our fridge for a point. Cheers!

4 Giants IPA L

Lovely dark amber hue in this rather bombastic 80 IBU bitter Westie ImpIPA. Brewmaster notes tout a 7 hop blend, I’m guessing Cascade is one of the main ones…a resinous green bud backside buzz. Echoes a bit at finish, and nicey so. Sourdough. Cheers!

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa L

Subterranean Morlock dark roast, fiesty tangy Bourbon barrel groove…cinnamon, java, and banana-bread spices sharpen the hop bite, while vanilla and malt work on the other side to soften it. Sippin’ adventures last until the bottom of the glass. Cheers!
