Incoherent ramblings will be back next week.

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #62 Night Shift Morph Batch 08/25/2016

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Night Shift Flutes
Notes: This batch features Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops; aromas of freshly juiced nectarines; sips with notes of candied mango and citrus followed by a refreshing grapefruit pith finish (5.8%)
Rating: 3.75/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #61 The Alchemist The Crusher

Oh yes! We got some Crusher by The Alchemist!

 

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes:The Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, “Did you say you want some more? Well here’s some more.” While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you. (9%)

Nerdsense – Episode 86

This week, your drunken hosts get more drunk.

Seriously though, on the  latest episode of Nerdsense, your hosts get drunk. In the meantime, though, they cover some of the relevant nerdy news items of the week, go on a few ridiculous tangents, and have a retrospective of Batman ’66, as the movie recently turned 50.

Honestly, give it a listen, we don’t go downhill till near the end. It’s funny. Trust us.

Cheers!

p.s

Stay tuned through the credits.

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #60 Tree House Brewing Co. Very Green

Our very first Tree House review! Shaun got his hands on some of their Very Green Double IPA!

 

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glasses
Notes: This Double IPA is created with a massive kettle charge of Australian and American hops. It opens in the glass with huge notes of ripe pineapple, pithy citrus, and dank saturated hops. As it warms it shows its depth and complexity. . . Sweet hints of malt intermingle with straight Tropicana. It has a soft but pointed bitterness and a rich, velvety mouth feel. We love it! (8.2%)
Rating: 5/5

Rating: 3.5/5
