DerekRx Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Wow, its been awhile. OK, lets see. Sunday I had some Tecate while watching football. Then on Monday I tried something new that I'd been hearing about but couldn't find it. Luckily, they had it in Northampton. As you can see, I have no idea what to think of this beer! Still thinking about the taste Then you enjoy the after taste and think about it. Then you drink your beer. Tastes like beer. First, you need to smell your beer. Smells hoppy Victory Hop Wallop, a new double IPA, from the makers of Hop Devil. Would it be as good or even better than the old HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 ^ You do realise that once you hit legal drinking age, drinking Wifebeater is no longer acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRx Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I leave the demon fighting to Buffy, Van Helsing, Constantine and other certified slayers. I drink to wind down, take a load off, I enjoy the taste, people here expect it from me, and I'm of legal drinking age. So anyway, I forgot to drink without TPR there to remind me, and I actually got work done on Tuesday. However, by Wednesday my liver realized it wasn't doing anything, and so I decided to have another beer I recently found and really liked! Its a stoudt, its hoppy, its darn good stuff! When I found the Hop Wallop, I also got some Storm King Imperial Stoudt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRx Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 ^and here I thought you were posting to this board because you finally had another beer (or wine)! Even though this thread may be for us drunken idiots, let's please all remember to adhere to the rules passed down from Robb and Elissa; try to be coherant, informative, and of legal drinking age in the country in which you reside when posting to this thread. Tonight I went back for more Hop Wallop in another attempt to try and figure this beer out. What I came up with was the following: 1. Its very hoppy 2. It tastes good 3. Its easy to drink 4. Its extremely high in alcohol for an IPA 5. I still like Hop Devil better. Doin' my best Hop Wallop label guy impression. He reminds me of a citizen of Silver Dollar City.... Let's try this one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugged One Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 5. I still like Hop Devil better. Blasphemy! *Just kidding* I really dig the Hop Wallop. It's like a lot of double/imperial IPAs. It does one thing (pucker your face with hops) but it does it real well. Finally finished off the last straggler (hiding in the back of course) of a Troegs 12 pack. Now I need to chill up the second half. Troegs Pale Ale. It couldn't hide forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 A Friday night, a few more beers! Before heading to the Great White North with a Molsen XXX. That's what its all aboot, eh?

4718 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Headed out to Beverages 'N More again today, couldn't decide what I wanted really.......the Sierra Nevada "Holiday" stuff looked real good, but so did Alaskan's Summer Ale (not sure why BevMo still had that, but were out of Winter Ale), as did a bunch of others........but I eventually settled on a few. First off, Baltika Wheat Ale and corn dogs for lunch. Not sure if this was the right combo, but it worked out okay. Very mild tasting beer, but still tasty.....gets a "good" from me. I'd have it again too, especially because it's only $1.70 or so. Baltika Wheat Ale (#8) Second, pizza dinner, wait a couple hours, then a Spaten Pils. Okay tasting, but just my favorite kind of taste.....kinda forced down the last few gulps but oh well. Gets a well deserved "meh" in my book, maybe worth trying for others, but I'll pass. Spaten Pils Finally, ended the night on a Samuel Smith's "Oatmeal Stout". I had to get it because the name was just so cool, only got better once I popped it open. Hard to describe the flavor really, but it's kinda like molasses almost.......BevMo's website says "Extraordinarily rich with hints of raisins, citrus & chocolate!"......sure, why not, I guess that sums it up. Quite possibly the tastiest beer I've had, very different from anything else I've tasted too. Definately getting this one again, but I think it's better as a occasional one, so you enjoy it even more. Samuel Smith gets a "great" from my lucky taste buds, I'll be sure to "drink my oatmeal" in the future too! Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout goodness! We'll see how tomorrow night goes, got a Paulaner Salvator Dopplebock waiting for me.......if it's half as good as their Hefe, it'll be worth it!

Hattuchili Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Okay, I think it is time for a new beer PTR from Sören! Today was a good day at work and I had a great lunch at my grandmothers house. So now I am back , it is time for dinner and I thought why not have a quick drink before the dinner! Thats why I walked to my fridge to see what I have there! --Sören I think the cold beer was the right decision! ahhhh Hmm, maybe this beer? A Beck´s green lemon? Some champagne? Some wine? A Jägermeister? open the fridge... Hmm, I think it is time for a drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Tonight's random selection was once again Hop Wallop by Victory. I think I really need to arrange the assortment in the fridge better, as I keep pulling the same stuff all the time until its gone. I will admit though, its a good beer! Durrr! Ahhh! Refreshing Chewing the hops Sampling the hops I proudly drink a beer after sleeping 12 hours, then taking a 2 hour nap 3 hours later Its beer, its in a glass, it used to be in a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well, as promised, had the Paulaner "Savator Double Bock" tonight, quite good. In fact, good enough to edge out Paulaner's own Hefewiezen by a nose! A dark brew it is, with almost a smokey flavor, but whatever you want to call it, this one get's a solid "great"! This is DEFINATELY on my gotta get again list, and I'd strongly suggest it to others, if nothing else the 7.5% alcohol makes if good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugged One Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thats why I walked to my fridge to see what I have there! Heh Soren, I'll swap you some of that Beck's Oktoberfest for some of that Green Lemon. That looks good. Tried a new one from Heavyweight Brewing last night. The Perkuno's Hammer Imperial Porter. This is a Baltic porter with a lot going on for it. Had hints of chocolate, coffee, fruits, and lord knows what else. I really dug it! Perkuno's Hammer Imperial Porter from Heavyweight Brewing. An awesome name for a beer and a damn fine porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Had to go with another Stout today, and decided upon Storm King, since its so good. Its beer! In 3-D!!! The King reigns supreme as far as stouts go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerACE1 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 On Friday, Ellen and I went out to a Peruvian restaurant in Stamford. It's a place we'd been to before and enjoy very much. Of course, I had to try a Peruvian beer. They have two kinds and this is my favorite. These photos were taken with Ellen's cell phone. Here I am enjoying my Cristal. It's not the greatest beer in the world but still better than the big brewery domestic beers (Bud, Coors, Miller) in our country. Very light and easy to drink with a decent flavor! Cristal, not to be confused with the champagne of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerACE1 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 On Saturday, Ellen and I took a trip to her sister's house near Storrs, CT. There is located one of the greatest liquor stores for beer that I've been to and the best part about it is, they let you put together mixed 6-packs. So, I put together 2 six packs and on Sunday sampled two of the brews I picked. Dark amber in color, I was not too impressed with this brew. It's essentially a winter ale (they call it an English ale) with what appeared to be raisin and prune notes. Still, disappointing I thought for Shipyard, usually a reliable brewery. Later in the day I tried a Shipyard Prelude Special Ale. Clipper City has impressed me very much with the little I've had of theirs. This one was no exception! This was an excellent IPA with a very nice hop taste and not overly bitter. It was actually sort of spicy with floral notes. From start to finish it was First up, Clipper City High Seas Loose Cannon. You'll notice the Hop-cubed on the side. Couldn't pass this up! Which one to choose? Here is the line-up of one of my mixed packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
