WELP TIME TO MAKE A MEMBER ONLY RESERVE SOCIETY BRB
Expo be drinking like an almost finished American barleywine.
In reality Expo is probably best in show after Notorious and PtY. The real problem is the TIPA style itself, which is the infantile rite of passage for basic bitch tickers who are just exiting the hop phase and use the 100000+ ibu threshold as a hallmark of malty palate maturity. This is an exceptional beer, every batch , but the style isn’t refreshing yet lacks the complexity of the big beer brethren. It just feels big and flabby for flabbiness sake. It’s like when you see a Nissan Armada and you kinda LOL like, Who the fuck is that even for?
Alpine crushes the hop game, they just need to discontinue all those other beers that keep the lights on. I don’t even need to name them, go to your local bottle shop, they will be the only ones left on the shelf.

Drie Fonteinen 2007 cuvée St Valentyn, funky pithy grapefruit and juicy dill capers. Musky 160bpm fist pumper.
This essentially follows in the same vein as 2007 OGV, except without the shitty synthetic cork stigma and a touch more musk and bitter cheesiness . There’s a sort of Brie rind and chewy grist that works well with the acidity like tart Fuji apple and that Anjou pear that jaw fucks your gum line. It isn’t exceedingly acidic and still delivers in a meaningful way, side saddle between doesjel and Herfst with that earthy mushroom sort of closer.
This isn’t the best 3F out there but three Floydenens has put out far worse.
Just embrace the funky dirtiness, don’t make it weird
Cable Car 2013, finally getting back to the cervix shattering 2009 levels.
Everyone has three jokes:
2009 cable car is the best, I’ve heard, I mean, hey, I have this DB Huna. Please.
2012 cable car tastes like chlorine. I mean . I have heard. But I got this Damon. Please.
2007 cable car oh man so over the hill. I mean. I have heard, I got this ba abraxas. Please. Srs it’s fair please.
But what about people who actually know what the fuck they are talking about? This goes in hard. This is the best vintage since 2009 and is akin to an American Zomer. Bright, lemon , radiant acidity, waves of sunshine running through my vas deferens, just limit breaks and super Sayan musk.
This vintage is outright mind blowing and worth the staggering $60 retail cost. I mean that, and I wish I didn’t. I can’t approximate a comparable cheaper analog with any real proximity.
Deep squats, hard pump.
2007 Surly Darkness, a shockingly delicious foray into that no barrel/white whale territory.
Here is a white whale I always shook my head at and dreaded ticking because I JUST KNEW IT WOULD BE BRUTAL. Amazingly, this is a Hershey’s syrup masterpiece and with the faded hops , it held up like a champ that decadent nestle chips and sticky mallow and roast. I can’t honestly say this is the best vintage I have ever had, it reminds me of a more posed and refined kern class V.
This is like mouth kissing a hot ratchet who is all into Hershey kisses, just sweet and steamy at the same damn time. Highly recommended, for what a recommendation like that is worth, GUYS GO GET THIS OLD FUCKING EXTINCT STOUT DDB SAID ITS TASTY HE ALSO SAID FUCK YOUR SISTER AND SMASHED THE BOTTLE
Old enough to know better. Young enough to accept the candy.
2003 Malvasia Rosso already past its 10 year expiration date. Poverty ticks.
White whale tick alert, another one of these dusty post menopause bottles bites the dust. The musk is off the charts and you will need to love that attic HJ to compensate for the complete absence of fruit. Zero fruits present, it’s like an inverted Scissor Sisters concert. NOT COOL DDB.
Honestly other than the thick swole of a spitetick, not worth seeking out at this point, I love the musk and the carb is that traditional Armand madness, crackle and soapy wispiness make this a fantastic drinker but, in the present state you can do better without taking dome shots behind Torst.
Bullfrog Le Roar Grrrz, the best in set, toeing precipitously close to that Pajotenland musk. Fantastic.
I expected the least from this, but with the withdrawal of the fruits new glarusing up the place, the musk and funk can slow dance and neck kiss without chaperones putting their two cents in.
This has a light pithy orange and tangerine juiciness to the grist, ratcheted hay and solid THOT bitter grapefruit closer. The mouthfeel is a touch too dry and needs a creaminess to the mouthfeel to balance the acidity but god damn does it come correct on the Belgian front.
There’s no needless wheelies or masking with fruit , this is dating naked for your bitter zones, sloppy titties and oaky sweat. Except no VH1 because fuck Vh1
Eerily similar to Belgian musk, a page from the Funk factory play book.
