Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #159 Lone Pine Oh-J

When a Double IPA called OH-J is handed to us, you know we have to review with a little extra criticism. It’s a ballsy move to call something Oh-J given the New England juice bomb craze we’re currently. So does it stack up? Watch and find out!

Cheers to Corey for hooking us up!

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: 8oz Flutes
Notes: A carefully selected arrangement of late-addition hops produce a pure citrus punch. 0% fruit. Fresh, never frozen. Not from concentrate. (8.1%)
Rating: 4.5/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #158 Hoof Hearted South of Eleven

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Stemmed Snifters

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #157 Trillium Amarillo Sunshower

“Super” Saison? Sure, we’ll try it.

Style: “Super” Saison
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: We allow the fermentation temperature to free-rise, resulting in a dry beer with strength and complexity. Layers of pepper and earthy characteristics that play nice with the crisp, smooth backbone of a pilsner and wheat malt bill. (8.5%)
Rating: 3.25/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #152 Treehouse Alter Ego

We’ve got the Hyde to Julius’s Jekyl. Julius dry hopped with Mosaic and Amarillo!

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Treehouse Teku’s
Notes: What we did here is we took a whole bunch of Mosaic and Amarillo hops, a classic punch of citrus purveying goodness, and added them to the Julius dry hop. The base beer is exactly the same, but the dry hop is altered tremendously. (6.8%)
Rating: 4.5/5
