Sure I could google all my style/type questions, but I actually prefer having conversations with Jeremy as opposed to just reading it. I like to learn from others about things that interest me.

Ahh, that actually makes sense.

It's a good beer, but honestly this is my second one and it doesn't really taste any different than their nut brown

Then your tastebuds are broken, they shouldn't taste anything alike

the Weiss doesn't have the roasted notes at all, but the flavor of the beer is very close. The most noticeable difference is that the Weiss is lighter and the mouth feel isn't as heavy as the nut brown.

I don't mean they taste the same, just that they aren't really far apart like I would have expected.

Tried their Amber Ale last night, very good beer. God I can't wait for the IPA to carb up.

Tried a new beer today. "Unfiltered Wheat Beer" by "Boulevard Brewing Company". It's OK, doesn't really have any flavor at all. Aftertaste is like a heavy, warm beer. For $5 it's drinkable, but like i said no flavor. Won't be buying this again.

My Mango Wheat is done fermenting, just need to find time to wash the bottles.

Jeremy have you tried " Leinerliugels Summer Shandy"? When I was growing up i always wondered what that great smelling lemon pinesol tasted like......now I know. It isn't bad, but the smell and everything screams pinesol so it won't be on my top ten

I like leinies a lot but not a fan of the shandy. Try the sunset wheat, it tastes like fruity pebbles

I keep missing that one, it sells out super fast. I keep watching for it though

That time of year!

Some Apple Pie has been made and is now in the jars to age until first snow fall, and hopefully some makes it to Christmas - January. Some will get consumed before then from my flask while hunting.

Got my pumpkin beer in the bucket, that will sit there for a month then go into the bottles to condition.

Tonight I am sampling Samuel Adams "Latitude 48 IPA". I like a good IPA, but this one takes like shit.
