Passed on the bomber...bought a growler instead. Then finished the Growler. Great stuff. My mouth is watering thinking about what I drank last night.

Ah, "beer snobs" aka white guys who need to feel superior in the choice of elixir they use to fuck up their mental cognizance to the point they forget they hate their life, wife, kids and job. Just shut the hell up and buy a 12pack of Bud Ice.

We get it, you're insecure as hell and need a self-esteem boost by posting shit in the beer thread. Hope it helped little guy.

I am white, yes.

I have no need, desire, or logical justification for feeling superior in comparison to anyone else, especially over something as trivial as beer.

I virtually never "fuck up [my] mental cognizance" through the use of alcohol ... and if that was the end game, I'd buy cheap liquor.

I love my life.

I love my wife.

I have no kids.

I'm my own boss, so I like my job quite a bit.

I will not buy a 12-pack of Bud Ice, as I won't enjoy it.

I'd say that makes you 1-for-8 in correct assumptions. Way to go.

Seriously, do you get this bent out of shape over people whose hobby is something like fine wine, muscle cars, etc?

Is anyone who becomes too familiar with their hobby, and thus enjoys sharing said hobby experiences with others who share the same interest, someone fitting the gross generalization you've listed above?

I guess the whole notion of not jumping to conclusions or making ignorant assumptions only applies to topics convenient to your views, then, huh?

Seriously, if you don't care about the craft side of brewing and beer, I don't give a shit. You're not a bad person or a dumb person. You're just not into the same things I am. I'm okay with that, so I'm not sure why you'd assume otherwise.

But ultimately, if you don't care about it, then either get the fuck off the thread, or at the very least, just shut the fuck up and try not to look like an ignorant, argumentative asshole.

I dig it.

Blondish color ... maybe just a touch darker than a pilsner.

Head was white and dense, but dissipated quickly.

Yeasty, citrusy aroma. Maybe some floral undertones, as well.

Bitter and sharp on the tongue, but the aftertaste is almost sweet. Maybe lemon and some kind of spice hints.

For the mouthfeel, imagine a hefeweizen. Same lightness and carbonation, along with the same citrus notes in the taste. Packs a bigger wallop, though, at 9.5%. Deceptively high-gravity.

If you can swing it, and you like the lighter high-gravity beers, I DEFINITELY suggest picking it up.

I believe it. People who are bad at life are normally hate-filled.

Seriously, I always thought Sage was an okay dude, and I don't really get how you can hate someone because of their hobbies.

I have a business associate who is big into wine. I don't know much about wine. He regularly tells me that the wine I drink is pretty much shit. I usually tell him something to the effect of, "Yeah, I'm sure it is, but it's in my price range, and I don't know a damn thing about wine, so it doesn't bother me."

I don't get all bent out of shape about it. Don't get why people get so defensive about their beers.

Glad you do. Just keep slinging your stuff on the mean streets of Marion instead of being a troll down here. Not working. You chime I as often as Sleeper. One in the same poster?
