Behind Door No. 21: #Omnipollo Granskott Spruce Tip IPA.

"... infused with spruce tips, capturing the aromas of spruce forests and crisp winter air ... beer that tastes like winter: drinking a Christmas tree in the most delicious ... form."🍺

440ml can, almost entirely green, with two spruce cones (I guess) with caricatural faces looking at you

Behind Door No. 17: #SuddenDeath x #Westum Perfect Holidays? DDH Hazy India Pale Ale.

Looks like they have a Griswolds-themed beer each festive season; last year it was Shitter Was Full with Clark's dumb cousin thrice removed or whatever. 🍺

Behind Door No. 16: #UneAnnee Quad Abbey Ale (11.0 ABV). Never have come across them before. Interesting: they actually habe two beer brands: Une Année are mainly "Belgian style" beers, whereas "American styles" are sold under #HubbardsCave. 🍺

Behind Door No. 8: Petite Gueuze #Tilquin. Interesting: unlike many other G(u)euzes, this is not a blend of "straight" Lambics, but of 30% Lambic and 70% Meerts (aka "Table Lambic", i.e. Lambic made from second runnings).

Behind Door No. 3: #OuterRange Gnarly Trees West Coast IPA. Solid brewery, have had a couple of their brews already - either at festivals or "from the can". 🍺

Behind Door No. 2: #FunkyFluid Mulled Gelato Ice Cream Sour.

I don't mind Ice Cream Sours; I have had some quite decent ones so far. But I always feel that they work better from the tap than from the can. Let's see how this one shakes out.🍺

(28 Nov 25): The motto for today's #BeerNerd|s' session is "The Festive Season". I know one of my friends is bringing a pumpkin ale (counts toward #Thanksgiving I guess), so I decided to go full #Xmas with this vintage bottle of #Flea Noel 2021 Amber Ale. 🍺
