Happy Friday. This one is strange. This has some light citrus that leans towards sweet grapefruit. Has a fairly strong clove, white pepper, light banana taste that is pretty spicy. Has some light pine and is wheaty. Overall I don’t know what to make of it. This is an IPA. It tastes like a Belgium wit that has very light hops to it. I’m rating it from a Belgium perspective. As an IPA it would be a one. This is one I brought home from my Virginia excursion last weekend. Forget where I got it.

Back home after a long weekend. It’s 90 degrees out which feels so nice. It’s a shame it won’t last - I love the heat now that I’m getting old. Onto the beer. Bought a variety 12 pack of Starr Hill in Va. This one is a peach wheat ale. Surprise, surprise - it has a strong peach taste. The good thing it’s a true peach taste - not artificial. Not much from a wheat taste but these fruity ones usually go that way. Drank all 3 in the heat sitting on the back patio. (My wife would shoot me for using the word drank if she saw this). Overall not something I would normally drink but found refreshing on this abnormally warm day. Plus it is pretty well done.

Not bad for a cold winter day

GFC 18 - has a toffee malt with maple & vanilla. Very sweet. Tastes good but wow it is sweet Ending tonight with another simple bar stool. Chairs & stools come in handy when hanging out. It was a cheapy.

Small head very carbonated. Mostly clear. Very red in color. Strong Maple aroma. Definitely maple flavor. Delicious.

Finishing up my "dark" beers tonight. I'm a little disappointed as not one of them was a great one. Oh well - still love them tho This has some sweet malts. It has some brown sugar, toffee, dark fruits (raisin/plum) with some sweet bread taste to it As much as I'd like to I can't go over 3.5. That is actually tops here & being generous.
