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

Nerdsense – Episode 104 – CWDCTVU Wrap Up

After another self imposed hiatus, we are back to give our thoughts on the most important nerdy news, like Zack Snyder’s sudden withdrawal from the upcoming Justice League film, and our mini-review of Guardians of the Galaxy.

The meat of the episode, however, is our pseudo-retrospective on the latest seasons of CW’s DC roster, Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.

We give you our opinions as a whole, which was our favorite, what we thought worked best, what maybe didn’t work so well, etc. It’s a can’t miss if you’re a fan of DC and Marvel film and movie properties. Cheers!

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #149 Fieldwork Pulp Free

You guys may remember our review of FieldWork Pulp from a couple months back. It blew our minds. Well, it blew Shaun’s mind. Mike still really like it. This is their West Coast version of it, Pulp Free!

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifers Snifters
Notes:High bitterness, excessive dryness, and the same over-the-top dry-hopping of Citra hops deliver the expected Fieldwork flavor profile and explosive aroma in a San Diego package. The abundance of Citra hops create an aggressive aroma that smells like a drive through a citrus orchard in peak of season, with notes of fresh orange, yellow grapefruit, and juicy sweet mango trekking from the first sniff to the last sip.(6.9%)
Rating: 4/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #148 Treehouse Bright

It’s another Bright day at Nerdsense HQ. We reviewed Treehouse’s Bright with Citra a few weeks back and we finally got to try OG Bright! Watch to find out our thoughts!

Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes: Bright was created to be a clean and elegant showcase for one of our favorite hops – Mosaic! Bright’s aroma is a cornucopia of citrus dank… The taste follows suit with notes of grapefruit, sweet berries, and clementine with a gentle orange rind finish. She is dry, soft, deceptively juicy and adequately bittered resulting in a very approachable yet pungent Double IPA. (7.8%)
