theprotester Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm with you on that point, just love a challenge I guess. Giving it a crack this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 i've got a straight edge friend that drinks NA beers and always tries to hunt down new and different ones, i've tried a few that he thought were incredible, and they were practically undrinkable. maybe with some time off your palate will forget what beer is and you can make the transition...

theprotester Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 How much of the mouth feel can be attributed to alcohol though? The flavour component of alcohol should be nothing more than sweetness. Tricky one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltrailer77 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 correct me if Im wrong but most of the mouth feel is the carbonation, the unfermented malts/sugars, and the other solids dissolved in to solution (proteins, hop oils, and yeast esters). So, assuming that is correct, the grain bill for an N/A beer would have to be really abbreviated, plus how would you let the yeast work? These are questions and assumptions... @protester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethinglikethat Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I got to try both of these last week. One lived up to the hype, one didn't. The heady topper is best IPA I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk Grenades Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic commando.. Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Local spot had a bunch of pumpkins so I got a few diffferent ones. This now, not into it. There is a bitterness that overtakes the pumpkin/spice. Then again, a lot of you seem to like their brews where I don't. The label said it was made in NY, but was that always the case? I thought they were out of somewhere else. Picked up a sixpack last night, not too bad but def more bitterness than the pumpkin flavor.

the.crooked Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 fist- they are barely down here in socal, i'm finding. small distribution. sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarwreck Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 beer douches at the shop this afternoon yammering on about "I don't drink pumpkins with any allspice or anything in it... that ruins the squashiness of it" fuck that. I want that shit to taste like autumn, not plants. On a side note, anyone had the Dogfish Head Burton Baton? Oak-aged IPA, 10% ABV... they've got a few at the local spot and I'm wavering.

the.crooked Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 worth trying. pretty sweet, if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 yeah that one was sweet not too sweet though - i hate sweet beers i forgot the name but the similar style label in blue Ii think i liked better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 it was a cool 'experience' but i wouldn't say i necessarily liked it. should have found it on tap instead of paying 18 for a 4 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
