Ok Fellas, time to resuscitate this thread. There are a great many beer drinkers on this board, and probably a good portion of those beer drinkers would classify themselves as connosieurs. Let's liven this baby up.
I just went down to the ol' beer store and picked up the following. It's a Sunday afternoon and I did my chores yesterday, but most importantly, the wife is gone all day leaving me free to cook, watch hockey, and drink more beer than I would otherwise be able to drink without guilt.
I picked up and am currently drinking:
Phillips' Beer's Amnesiac Double IPA
There will be companion posts throughout the day/evening as I continue to watch hockey, I encourage all of you to go out and get a beer you wouldn't normally get and post in this thread about it.
This Amnesiac is like a POW right to the kisser of flavour on initial intake. Real citrus aroma to the brew, but the aroma doesn't prepare you for the smack in the mouth you get. Strong beer but very drinkable. Right now, I'm munching away on a spicy curry I made and this beer is doing the trick.
Really refreshing on the palate, thin carbonation, but not a watery beer.
A+ Would drink again!
