You like a malty back bone. The St. Helen's Oktoberfest is exactly that. A malty lager. I'm drinking one now. It has a good caramel type color too. You may be more of a Georgia Beer Company drinker than a Pretoria Fields guy. Pretoria is more about crisp and bright beers as far as their primary canned ones outside of the stout of course. A lot of Georgia Beer Company's brews have that same malty backbone. It's just the different type brewer I guess. How are the Oktoberfest celebrations in Georgia? Is there anything at all? We've got it made here... probably one of the most German cities in the USA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally never been to it. Other than that, not much that I've heard of outside of special beer releases at my haunts down here in the south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossacks Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Damn, Louisiana may be synonymous with crappy football but they can make some beer. This is one of the best New England IPA’s I’ve ever had, really good. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the best New England IPA’s I’ve ever had, really good. That one is great. One of my favorites that I've tried in recent times to be honest. Tonight, in the tradition of milk and cookies, the Santa at my house got some special beer from the left coast and its pretty damned good. Beer and homemade cookies for Santa tonight! The beer is a little high gravity at 8.8 but really balanced with just enough sweet on the finish. The citra and mosaic hops really come through for me and it's hazy with a nice malty wheat backbone. The head fades into a pretty nice skirt as I type between drinks. I have really been on a mosaic fling lately so this one is perfectly in line with what I've been enjoying the most of late. As a matter of fact it is similar to that Ghost in the Machine beer just stronger abv and more of the mosaic hops coming through. SantaHawg gives it 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 5 out of 5 Christmas Trees. 🍻 Merry Christmas beer drinkers! Now if we all just had a Ho Ho Ho lined up at the door. 🎅 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cossacks Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Nice brown ale. Good malt flavor, not as sweet as a Newcastle, little more smooth, but sweet finish. Reminds me of St. Florians brown ale. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, this might've worked as a NE or Milkshake IPA but instead it's a weird mix of fruity with the strong hoppy flavor....not very good.....which is why I chose it lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 In honor of the final high school football games of the 20-21 season in Georgia, and the big school state championship* for Grayson coming on the heels of a mid-season transfer by the Cali kid... Georgia 7A football felt the Cali Squeeze this season... I love the combination of fruits in this brew. Really juicy hefe. I can literally pick out the Guava, orange and passion fruit which goes well with the natural banana bread type flavor that hefe brews normally have. Here's to the Cali Squeeze! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It purports to be 5.4% abv, but, I can't detect it in flavor at all. Very smooth, no bitterness and mostly a bubbly juicy drink. I could probably get into some DUI troubles if I had a few of these to run through. Very easy to drink. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossacks Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Got baby backs on the smoker, will be putting a tri tip and sausage on the grill in a bit. Needed to get a final 2020 IPA in and cant smoke/grill without a beer. This is a nice pine and hint of grapefruit medium body IPA. Very easy to drink, I’ll be switching to water (aka Coors Light) later in the night. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
