This guy for example is apparently best before January of 2018! *In case anyone out there is interested, I've also found the 'best by' dates on local beers to be far more forgiving that back in the US despite the lower alcohol content. The low attenuation adds a bit of body and sweetness that makes this a bit different from most of the Scottish IPAs I've had so far. Overall: 3.75 Decidedly neither "brute strength" nor a "giant IPA" by my American standards, but a nice balanced APA-style beer nonetheless. Decent hop flavors upfront, giving way to some honey, diluted caramel and bready malt in the finish with little residual bitterness.įeel: 4 Medium body with a slight chewiness, revealing relatively low attenuation in this beer, with medium-low yet crisp carbonation with small bubbles. Taste: 3.75 Some nice grapefruity citrus flavors and a bit of pine, doughy malt and slight grassiness and vegetal quality towards the backend. Look: 4 Pours a nice clear deep-gold color with a tight-knit white head and decent foam retention.Īroma: 3.25 A bit of caramel, some stale vegetal notes, and muted citrus. Note to self: pick up some decent glassware Indeed the terms "brute strength" and "giant IPA" can be found on this label. Believe it or not, at 5.5% this is actually strong for Scottish IPAs, which seem to be very popular locally but generally clock in at 4-5% and more closely resemble APAs. What we have here is Gladeye IPA from Drygate Brewing out of Glasgow. Despite major differences in the beer scene over here, I've actually been really enjoying the beers I've been drinking over the past week, particularly the ubiquitous real/cask ales at the local pubs. 'Evening everyone! Despite having moved to Edinburgh this past week to find an entirely different beer scene, with very different styles and availability than I'm used to, I'm determined to stay active on this site, even if I find myself missing out on a lot of great beers stateside and most of my fellow BA's have never heard of the beers I actually have access to. Don't ask me how, but we might have done something right along the way. Good drinking, would have again.Īs we sat around talking with sonny boy and GF, he got to talking about people living in fear, how fear leads to hate, and hate to violence. It ticks the pilsner boxes, but I dont think it is a true classic pilsner. There was a bitterness on the back of the taste that was a distraction. I thought the mouthfeel was a tad bit heavy for a pilsner, but nicely carbonated, refreshing, great choice for the day. A little malt comes through that seems to offer maybe a bit of toast to the mix.

It is a little grassy, a very slight spice, and an earthy almost vegetal note. What does the tongue think? The floral nature if the hops shine.

There is a little crackery to buiscuity malt on the nose. The aroma is green and floral, grassy, a hint of earthiness. The head falls to a ring and chunky rafts in the pils glass. Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner was todays cookout beer, I have never had it, so it counts! It pours clear golden color with an inch or so of pure, white head. New beer for the day, you ask? Well, I dont ride the hype train very iften, but I am finally on the Pils Train. Lots of leftovers we dont really need to deal with, but OK. Burgers and dogs on the grill, chourico/onions/peppers in the skillet. Since we will be grandparents in November it was about time. Sonny boy and girlfriend came by, with her parents whom we have never met. They have bonded.she left him with us for a while and he was fine, but really perked up when she came back.

It is cute, affectionate, but I think she has her hands full because he looks really athletic, as he should. She was told it is housebroken.sort of because the foster home had a doggie door and it could do what it needed to whenever. She was told it is a beagle.but it is at least mixed with if not mostly, a foxhound. So today.our daughter shows up with her new dog. On our big new cuntertop, the job went much better. We salvaged a bunch of tomatoes yesterday and were able to can nine pints of salsa. I dont recall a stretch like we have had with near misses on rain so many times. It was a great sunny day here, much lower humidity, but the direct sun was still pretty hot. Greetings from the castle here in the SE Mass kingdom.
