So another Thursday night of bowling brought a few more beers off the tour. As I mentioned in a previous post, getting a little tired of taking pictures of draft beers, bowling balls and bowling lanes, so I added a few other random pictures from the week.
Beers for the night:
Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale (10 oz snifter) – American Strong Ale – An interesting strong ale. Can definitely taste the booze at a hefty 9.7% ABV. Not overly hoppy – and doesn’t have the distinct belgian flavor of many other strong ales. Actually has a strong caramel, malty sweetness – very full flavor. As I previously mentioned, can taste the alcohol – but not overpowering. Overall an interesting, different beer. Don’t think it is my style, but respect the effort. Overall score 6/10.
Picture below taken from one of my client’s office at the top of the Terminal Tower. Can get a nice view of the new E&Y building, and additional room for development nearby.
Troegs Sunshine Pils (16oz draft) – This pilsner really doesn’t do much for me. Has a decent crisp flavor to it, but really only hits on one note. Tastes like a “beefed-up” Miller Light. While I don’t have a problem with Pilsners, I am very rarely impressed with them – and this one from Troegs falls into the unimpressive category. Don’t get me wrong – it’s beer – it’s cold – and it doesn’t taste bad. Just would go with almost any other beer that this. Overall score 4/10.
And below is a picture of Chance, our cat. He was crossing his hands under his chin, but I missed it. Chance doesn’t drink beers, but has hung out with me on occasion while drinking. Just try not to make a habit out of it.
