Can. Huge thanks to Uffe who bought this one in Santa Rosa a couple of weeks ago. (canned 01/14/25) Golden with a medium white head. Pine, grapefruit, stone fruit, notes of grass. Nicely bitter. Very drinkable for the ABV. My kind of DIPA, much better than all those hazy ones.

500ml bottle. Pineapple aroma with notes of grassy hops, tangerine, grapefruit and pine resiny hops. Pours clear golden colored with a finger of white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy pineapple, tangerine and grassy hop flavors. Finishes smooth but dry with grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Good stuff.

Bottle, and yeah it's three months old now. Hazy and pale, with a thick head. There's still some juicy orange and passionfruit notes from the Strata. The aroma is fairly bright and it's still very bright on the palate. Subtle pale malt with a touch of creaminess. Moderate bitterness - I wouldn't mind a bit more, actually, especially from the Chinook. This is still pretty good, and I imagine a little bit of extra pop when fresh would have made this amazing. But I can only rate what's in the glass.,

Аромат отличный, достаточно лесной, немного травы, кустики от ягод, еще удивительно что в таком хмелевом пиве сильно ощущался ячменный солод. Цвет практический как у лагера, золотой, с белой пенкой, может прям немного нефильтрованности есть. Вкус хмелевой, свежий, прям снова лес и всё что в нем имеется, травянистость. Финиш понятное дело с большой горечью, но не сказать что она неприятная, а скорее логичное продолжение такого вкуса. Очень крутой баланс. Алкоголя не ощущаю.

Hops and some malts, not very prominent. Taste is hoppy, crispy, with low to moderate bitterness. Balanced and nice.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Josh's Taps and Caps. A bit of a sad rating here for me. This will be my last rating here on RateBeer, and I enjoy this beer reflecting on all the good times, friendships, trips I took entirely due to this site existing, all the I wouldn't ordinarily order this, but I want to rate it moments. My 11+ years here doesn't compete with a lot of other folks here, but its enough for me to have a hard time not being sad it's gone, and being happy it happened. I chose Russian River to close out this chapter, because it was Consecration that really pushed me over the edge for enjoyiny craft beer, and everything the hobby can represent. That and La Terroir. The first beer I ever loved. This was the first brewery I ever loved. And nothing needs to be crazy about it to be great. Russian River Porter. Awesome. I'll take two. Nice light 5.75%. Perfect for piggy backing a big stout to start. Near black pour, cola foam head. Toasty malts, bold and flavorful. Big roast linger. Ultimately flavorful for a light side porter. Almost smokey. Bitter. Biting porter. Overall a great brew. I'll miss this place. Faking it til I make it. Having that tasting note on the tip of my tongue, not quite knowing what it is, and letting a previous rater tell me what I was tasting, and say, how did I not figure that out on my own. It was always about the raters. The community here. The lighter side of beer enjoyment. This site has always been an obvious excuse for me to get out and support the little guys. I promise that will not go away with this site. I'll end this rate the same way I ended hundreds of others. Good beer here. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Anniversary Porter on 24 May 2022 at 02:06 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: 16 oz can gifted by Tcon. Thanks. Really fun series here. Love enjoying these classic styles in their classic format. Toasty malts, soft coffee notes, bold lingering malt. Lingering roast, almost smoky. Smooth and flavorful porter with a robust side to it up front. Really hope other breweries take notice on how cool of an anniversary project these are.
