I hope you're all enjoying your labor day doing something relaxing and having a nice craft brew. My dad and I are sharing some Abita Satsuma Wheat and and assorted variety of Sweetwater. He made ribs, too. Try your hardest not to be jealous.
The other night I got to taste the latest Sweetwater Dank Tank, its the Magnum IP (play on Magnum PI). I felt an extra strong bond to this beer as Tom Selleck's likeness is on it and we both have luscious mustaches. The beer itself is delicious. Its an imperial pilsner, double the ingredients of a regular pilsner and it weighs in at 9%ABV. The taste is rich, its almost similar to a belgian white but its the beer itself is clearer and the carbonation is tighter. It's got a pleasantly sharp scent with some floral hints but its heavy on the sugary aroma. The flavor is sweet and yeasty but it has a nice bitter finish to it that sticks for a few seconds after you get it down, which comes from the lovely 2lb dosage of Cascade and Sterling hops they add to each barrel. This beer seems like it'd be good with any kind of Italian or Mediterranean food. I'm having it with some spaghetti with chicken asiago sausage and its working well together, and I can see it going well with some pizza too.
The porterI brewed a few days ago is fermenting now too, I was going to take a video of the bubbles coming through the airlock but I realized thats nowhere near as exciting as I think it is.
