Hoegaarden -- nice calibration for what a Wit is supposed to taste like

More Dampfbier

Finished KZG, my first coolaboration with KZ(where did he go). An imperial red partial mash with a boatful of hops. This last 6er conditioned for 10 months. Now Im drinking a firtst pitch pilsner brewed with a lager yeast at 48F. Its very good after those heavy reds. After a week of midnites, its needed.

My first first pour of my first IPA, excellent!! Two Hearted Ale clone.

While I wait for my Octoberfest to be ready next weekend, I finished off the six of Breckenridge Vanilla Porter and the SNPA.

I want MY beer!!

Bullis RTS. Mmmmm caramelly!

Drinking a porter I brewed the end of June. Finally becoming drinkable, although it is a bit flat.

Drinking a homebrewed Saison. Worth the wait; this one took 6 weeks in the fermenter to finish. Tastes really good!

Half Baked Chimay Doree Clone.

Cerveza Caguama is the flavor of the moment. Light in color good head and imop better than the other mass production mexican's at the store.

Tried a bottle of Napa Smith Brewery Crush that a friend gave me. This is a newer brewery up in the Napa Valley here in CA known for its wine production.

This beer is described as:
"Crush is a medium bodied lager with a toasted malt aroma and soft Oktoberfest beer character. In tribute to the grape harvest in Napa, we also add a small amount of grapes to each batch. In keeping with the Bavarian tradition of Oktoberfest, this Amber Lager incorporates the use of traditional malts with low hop bitterness and a hint of fruit flavor. With white foam lacing the glass, Crush is soft, complex and elegant. As they say, “It takes a lot of great beer at harvest time to make great wine.”"

This tastes like a glass of wine to me. I took one smell and knew what it would be like. And I only took one sip - no likey.

Moved on to a pint of my Summer Ale that I keg-hopped. It has changed a lot. It's nice to know that this is a good technique for saving a mediocre beer. Plus, my taste buds are back

Having a hard time trying to fall asleep. Had a panty-dropper punch. Now having a Murican wheat.

"Golden Hefeweizen". But I'm still working on the recipe - a touch too creative in adding lemon juice into the beer in this version. Next time I will try to get the desired touch of citrus from the hops.
