Just got back from Dixie and feeling pretty good.
Beer Log: right now
State: Feeling fine, but my eye is killing me
Jolly Pumpkin Beire de Goord
At least I think that's how that is spelled. We got this hazy straw colored moderately sour smelling beer from the Rare Beer of the Month club. Taste is rather sour, kinda bretty as well. Mouthfeel is gritty, bitter like grapefruit rather than grapefruity hops. Makes me get that sour beer face. Hmmm. I'm not getting all that pumpkin and spices they claim are in this bad boy. I get a light bread in there in the aftertaste. I can take it however. Beeradvocate has this thing HIGHLY rated, but whatever. I guess we should have cellared it or something as this one is a limited edition. No rating.

It's ALIVE!
Beer Log: Just now
State: Eating the same steak I had yesterday with some sweet corn on the cob
Mikeller It's Alive
Sweet and sour nose with some bread and brett to go along. Very effervescent with a tinged red copper with mild white head. The beer is moderately sour and bitter, kind of grapefruity. It has an earthiness and dry character. High carbonation. It's not as good as it smells (how many times have I said that?). I imagine this is the famed "feet" taste of a brett/sour/bottle conditioned ale. It gets more sour with a pinch of sweet sugar as it warms. But not quite enough. I've had enough sourish beers to claim this one is 2 Stars.
I'm out of WW points, so I need to take 'er easy the rest of the night. Hopefully I've lost a couple of poundals while I was laid up not able to work out. Travel plans include a trip to the DC area next month and if I don't make it to Brickskeller, I'm going to be sick. Also will be doing the family cruise

Bully Saison-Brett
I just had a couple of wins on a project, so time to celebrate. I break the absolutely wrong glass for a Saison (champagne flute) and go for a Boulevard Saison-Brett.
Beer Log: Just a few minutes ago
State: Trying to relax watching 30 for 30 drinking number 06883 of 13400 bottles produced
Gold-orange and a pinch cloudy. Big white poofy head with a big fizzy head that overflowed nearly everytime I poured another one. Sugar sweetness and a light brett nose. It has some moderate sourness but no banana like a belgian tripel on the smell. The beer has a moderate carbonation, goood candy sugar, and a light-moderate jolly rancher taste. Wraps up with some sourdough bread thing goin gon. Minimum bitterness that leaves the tongue a bit gritty. I just can't stop drinking it. Probably one of the best brett beers we've had so far. 4 Stars.
