Blizzard (In A Beer Mug) B

No blizzards here today thankfully. Can't mistake the wheat, soft orange and lemon with a light sherbet sweetness

Moriau Oude Geuze Vieille B

Very dry, light tart apples with a pleasantly precise acidity, not overly complex but has a surprising hint of hoppiness. A bit different to the norm but no less satisfying for that

Great balance of pine bitterness, rounded malts and citrus sweetness, maybe slightly over sweet but still a class act. #37 State
