Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #71 Night Shift Morph Batch 09/22/2016

This is two Morph reviews for the price of one!! The first part is just Shaun doing a normal Morph review since Mike is in California. The 2nd part is Mike, Shaun and their buddy Theo doing a review onsite at Night Shifts Oktoberfest on September 24,2016. The audio quality of the onsite review is very poor but it was fun to do so we thought we’d tag it on our normal review.

 

Style: IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Night Shift 12oz Snifter
Notes: Our mid-September edition features a blend of Falconer’s Flight, Bravo, and Vic Secret hops. Light, fresh bergamot and orange zest aromas. Smooth bodied with pleasant bitterness. (5.3%)
Rating: 4.15/5 <– It’s between 4 – 4.25, right?

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #70 Hill Farmstead Double Dry Hopped Arthur

Hill Farmstead has made its way down to the table this week. We dive into a double dry hopped version of their Farmhouse Ale, Arthur!

 

Style: Farmhouse Ale
Container: 750ml Bottle
Glassware: Stemmed Snifters
Notes: Arthur (1922-2005) was our grandfather’s youngest brother; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to him and his 13 siblings. In his honor, this farmstead™ is crafted from American malted barley, American and European hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Arthur. (6%)

Style: Double IPA
Container: 2 x 16oz Can
Glassware: Small tasters for look only then drank from the can
Notes: (From website) Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.

Nerdsense – Episode 89 – Carcast Part Deux

This episode of Nerdsense is basically a free form conversation between Shaun and Mike in a car during a drive to Boston to see Alice In Chains.

They talk about the band, the Supergirl TV show, drinking, and pretty much anything else that crosses their minds. It’s the second Nerdsense car-cast, and a fun alternative to the usual podcast.

Cheers!
