Beer of the Week: Adroit Theory Moment of Impact (Ghost 1110)

I'm all caught up and posting early this week as I'm going away for the weekend. I had some great beers this past weekend, the best of which was Adroit Theory Moment of Impact
Description: Smells pretty boozy, which is going to happen at 12% ABV. You don't notice that at all in the flavor though. Dark chocolate and coffee dominate, leading to a somewhat bitter, ultra-dark stout.
What you should know: The trend of strong stouts these days seems to be super sweet dessert beers, but this is an old school Russian imperial style. It's definitely bitter, but in a coffee/dark chocolate way, not an imperial west coast IPA way.
Recommendations: Try to find yourself a beer that leans away from the sweet trend this weekend. You might remember why beers were all that way only a few years ago.

Beer of the Week: Equilibrium Raspberry Dimensions

1/23/2022

Went on a trip to New Orleans last week. Unfortunately, nothing great came out of that trip beer-wise, as there was a lot of light beers and drinking games going on. Fortunately, I had some good stuff at home, including Equilibrium Raspberry Dimensions
Description: This is a sour IPA that leans closer to sour than IPA. It's nice and tart from the raspberry and lime (although the lime is much more subtle). There's also some earthy flavors from the hops and a little creaminess. It's not quite smoothie-like, but it's on its way there.
What you should know: This is the first sour IPA I've had from Equilibrium, and I'll definitely get more. That said, it doesn't live up to Hudson Valley's mastery of the style.
Recommendations: Find yourself a beer that's in between styles and experiment.

Beer of the Week: Faces Wildberry Mahalo

Added at least 20 beers this week to catch up on a busy couple weeks. Adding this early this week as I'll be at a bachelor party the rest of the week - assume many beers will be consumed. The best of the 20+: Faces Wildberry Mahalo
Description: This is ultra-drinkable. It's pretty tart, but with lots of berry flavor without being too sweet, and a hint of saltiness to make it go down even faster.
What you should know: This is the first of 7 beers I had at this brewery in one night, and it was the best by far. There were a few others that were quite good, and nothing that was actually bad. I definitely recommend heading to the brewery if you get a chance.
Recommendations: Go to a small local brewery this weekend, even if it's just to pick up beer to-go.

Beer of the Week: Hudson Valley Confetti: Orange & Lime

I went to town since my last post, including trips to multiple breweries, getting a bunch of singles at the store, and a trip to my favorite beer bar. The best I had: Hudson Valley Confetti: Orange & Lime
Description: Light body and very tart flavor. Lime up front is pretty puckering, then the orange comes through in the finish with a little sweetness to balance it, though this is still a tart beer at heart.
What you should know: I had a whole bunch of mediocre beers in a row right before this one, so it really stood out.
Recommendations: If you have a beer you don't really love this weekend, keep getting new beers until you find one you do. Eventually, you'll either get a good one, or you'll be too drunk to know the difference. You win either way.
