De Cam Kriek Lambiek, cherry poppin daddy go an blow your horn

20140724-220527-79527658.jpg

I prefer the Oude kriek but this is still a nice little maraschino cherry with a faint tannic aspect that is less juicy but more drinkable. The carbonation is fantastic and has this crackly pop rocks disposition that is a cherry will O the wisp that regenerates with one cherry mana. It gains complexity as it warms with more of a Capri sun and red jolly rancher sweetness and only the faintess hint of acidity. As a result it feels more traditional and makes this less initiated feel at home. This is a more subtle albeit more nuanced cherry profile that some will find boooooring but others who don’t watch “say yes to the dress” will realize it takes a calm hand and cherry smooches to blend something this balanced and crushable.

Last night I popped an Allagash Merveilleux while playing Demon’s Souls. This is an excellent beer to enjoy in between the relentless YOU DIED messages.

This is a refreshing albeit substantial American wild or AMERICAN AUTHENTIC LAMBIC as the joke goes. It has a nice dry crispness to the nose like strawberry and fresh cut Fuji apples, and the dryness follows throughout the mouthfeel with Chardonnay and a white grape fruitiness to it at the outset. After you swallow things get a touch earthier not unlike the mineral and lightly bitter 2010 cable car or Herfst sort of metallic meets acidic merger. The whole thing kinda reminds me of an imperial Supplication on one hand and a sort of earthy wild on another.

Worth arching a couple ropes of jizz over but not your entire load, if we are talking backdoor trades.

Allagash got me poppin a musky Tiarna right now, small format :(

Of all the exceptional Allagash offerings, this would be the midline Yoshi of the AmericanLambiKart world. It isn’t as musky and couple as the cool ships it isn’t as tart as FV13, it doesn’t have that stellar red wine vinegar meets butryic acid profile of Vagabond: it is just crushable and delicious.

Somewhere between the acidic Beat and gentle Sanctification is this highly drinkable delicious treat. You get a touch of dough, lemon grass, some peach musk, ratcheted back acidity and this soapy carbonation like a Church car wash and- seriously how are they allowed to wear that it’s for a church.

This may not be “worth” the price point given the fact that you will decimate it within minutes, but isn’t that what nuanced execution is about? That American wild ale that provides a release so subtle you don’t even realize it until you are cleaning your browser history and trying to google how to get precum off of suede? That’s what beer is about.

@hillfarmstead Civil disobedience 8, sticky vinous dankness with a touch of toasted pumpernickel. DRO

Civil Disobedience 8, take civil disobedience 4, wipe a lil Edith on your gums and do a quick bump of Jim.

God tier black Saisons, shouldering next to that Guillermot Prunus flexing. The cherry and red wine tannins underpin a nice musk and Brett almond finish. This is clean as hell and attenuated down to the wet boxer briefs. This isn’t my favorite style but when it is done well, with that chocolate giving the floor to them red grape notes, well damn I harness that dark farmhouse.

Sometimes the dark aspects can be a touch charming
