Bottle from Mr. Hop, drunk after joining the bookmatched walnut back for the new bass. Rather dark brown, moderate head not loading all too long. Nose is bready brown sugar, caramel, nice complexity. The flavor - wow, very complex yeast notes, well rounded with a fantastic mouthfeel of ultra fine, almost champagne-like carb. Not too sweet and some nice lingering bitterness/woodiness balancing it all. Best beer of the month so far.

Can from the Beer Republic Green Advent calendar Day19, packaged Aug.26, hooray - one of the youngest so far. Hazy orange, big lasting head, nose of spicy orange and malt sweetness. Smooth and crisp on the palate, juicy with a hint of pine, not too sweet, lupulin powder. Mouthfeel is mid bodied for a hazy with moderate bitterness. Pretty nice.

Bottle from Mr. Hop drunk with a goat cheese and caramelized onion burger at home. Medium amber, flowery honey nose. Nice smooth flavor, decent hop balance, grain forward at first. Pretty good non alk.

Day 18 of the Beer Republic hoppy calendar, packaged 9/19, drunk watching Fallout. Clear gold with a tall fine head, nose of caramel with pine and citrus - very West Coast. Flavor follows through with clean, crisp, and mid-hopped WC profile, nice and dry. Big IBUs and relatively but not perfectly smooth bitterness. Tasty, maybe in the top 3 of the calendar so far.

Can from Beer Republic Advent calendar Day 10, expired 12/2 with a 3 month date since packaging. Still the freshest beer so far by age I believe. Hazy yellow, nice head, light stone fruit nose, hints of pineapple. Good hop flavor, still some darkness & juiciness left. Tingly citrus and tropicals. Nice balanced body and moderate bitterness.

Can from Beer Republic Advent calendar Day 16. One of the freshest so far, from 7/16. Light orange, nice head. Slightly dank and tropical-mix nose. Good flavors that may have faded a bit already, lots of pine, medium body. Very dry finish with a bitingly high grapefruity bitterness that is less than smooth, but it's seriously high IBUs so that's a bit understandable. At least that preserved it well!

Can from Mr. Hop, drunk at home on a Tuesday. Moderate citrus-ish light grain nose. This has a wee bit more dry hop flavor than most alkfrei IPAs, a hint of strawberry, not a lot of bitterness though. Decent, balanced mouthfeel. Pretty tasty and better than many recent full alcohol IPAs I've tried.

Day14 in the Beer Republic calendar, and brewery #2 of the calendar that's now out of business. Deep Orange, small head, mild hearty pumpkin pie nose that's rather inviting. Medium sweetness, some metallic astringency, maybe too grapefruit-ish hops that don't blend well with pumpkin spice? It's drinkable but not great. Well at least I managed one pumpkin beer this year even if it's 2 months after Halloween season.
