Hi. This is Scott (Wingnut, Beerbecue, T-Rex Hates _____, etc). It's Day 8 of Beer Advent, and this is my blog now. Tony is somewhere. I'm sure he told me where. I can't remember. Presumably somewhere with no Internet, like the Tristan da Cunha archipelago or something. I hope he enjoys himself.
In any case, this beer is from Jon; and I'll be honest, the description on the can paints a pretty sick picture. It starts off harmlessly with a reference to the pseudo-science book: The Five Love Languages. Then...
Don't worry, we took our time...whispering sweet nothings to the fermenter
while the yeast toiled away, munching on the malty sugars that we lovingly
laid down.
M'kay. So I'm not here to kink shame Jon or Little House Brewing or their marketing team, but T-Rex is coming out of retirement...
I'm not sure how pics work on this site. You probably have to click it or something.
So how about the contents? Well, apart from feeling like Beer Advent’s 500th hazy boi in a row (how many days are there in December?), it has a soft mouthfeel but is mercifully not overly viscous. It has that telltale modern hazy IPA bitterness/burn that seems to come from massive post-boil additions and dry hopping. I was hoping from the description it was going to be a little more peachy and dank (Amarillo, Citra, and Nectaron). While it was a little more dank than the typical hazy (which I appreciate), I was getting a lot of the tropical fruit bowl typical of these little numbers.
I enjoyed it, though. Thanks, Jon! And that's totally not you in the cartoon. It's just a Little House Brewing Co. employee who happens to be named Jon.
Sicko.
