Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #132 Treehouse Haze

Treehouse makes it back to the table! This time it’s their DIPA, HAZE!

 

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Treehouse Teku’s
Notes:We constructed this beer around hops we currently have plenty of access to, allowing us to re-brew it on a (relatively) consistent basis. We smell a ton of orange on the nose, with complimentary notes of peach and passionfruit. The flavor is similar with a blast of citrus fruit & orange quickly followed by spicy grapefruit, and earthy dankness. A lingering but pleasant hop oil finish awaits (8.2%)
Rating: 4.75/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #131 Toppling Goliath DDH Pseudo Sue

A T-Rex made its way to the table this week! We have Toppling Goliath’s Double Dry Hopped Pseudo Sue!

Style: Pale Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: This double dry hopped pale ale showcases the Citra hop for a well balanced beer that is delicate in body with a mild bitterness in the finish. Ferocious aromas of citrus and mango give a refreshing taste that is bright with just enough bite! (5.8%)
Rating: 4.5/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #130 Night Shift Apple Brandy El Lechedor (2016)

We’ve been putting this one off for awhile for reasons neither of us can explain. We finally took it out of the fridge, hit record and had camera issues! So this is using our old camera, so it may look a little different than our more recent videos.

Style: Milk Stout
Container: 25.2oz Bottle
Glassware: Stemmed Snifters
Notes: Horchata-style milk stout aged in apple brandy barrels with poblano peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla beans. (8.7%)
Rating: 4.75/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #129 Fieldwork King Citra

Another Fieldwork brew makes it’s way to the table and this time it’s King Citra!

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes:A thick and full mouthfeel creates an Orange Whip-like profile that sticks to the palate with a refreshingly dessert-esque fervor, slowly giving way to a soft bite of carbonation. As the sun sets across the horizon King Citra fires thunderbolt after thunderbolt at every taste receptor till they are overwhelmed and he struts away, crown atop his head, still reigning supreme over his Empire of Double IPA.

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #128 Hoof Hearted Konkey Dong

For anyone wondering…yes the joke of saying Hoof Hearted’s name was definitely lost on us at the time of this recording…

Hoof Hearted makes it’s debut in Nerd Den this week. This is KONKEY DONG!

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes:Barrel fermented in Donkey Kong barrels and excessively dry hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe, and Dr. Rudi Hops from New Zealand. Dank and Juicy! Brewed in collaboration with Arcade Super Awesome (8%)
Rating: 4.5/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #127 Evil Twin Even More Jesus

Another solo review as I dive into Evil Twin’s Even More Jesus Imperial Stout!

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: A few times in the history of craft beer it has happened that a highly praised beer rises beyond mortal stardom into a higher godly league. Usually the recipe to make such heavenly drops is thick fudge-like body, pitch black color, amazingly overwhelming aromas of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and muscovado sugar, obviously only made in limited amounts and most crucial of all – it must taste rare! (12%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #125 Trophy Brewing Inside Joke

We have a collaboration brew between Trophy Brewing in Raleigh, NC and Night Shift in Everett, MA!

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Night Shift Flutes
Notes:Come check out this year’s collaboration between Trophy and Night Shift Brewing! Together we’ve created Inside Joke, a tasty Double IPA featuring Galaxy, Citra, and Simcoe hops. Whirlpool hop additions as well as heavy dry hopping give this beer a ton of great hop flavor and aroma, while a bit of turbinado sugar lends the beer a beautiful golden color. (8.6%)
