Julian Franklin is drinking The Waldos' Special Ale (2023) by Lagunitas Brewing Company
‘23 vs ‘24 head-to-head. ‘23 wins but I wonder if it’s because it has aged? Saving a ‘24 for next year to see. This is smooth & earthy with candied fruit drizzled in a caramel finish that just beats out the bitter hops. ‘23 on left

Julian Franklin is drinking The Waldos' Special Ale (2024) by Lagunitas Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
‘23 vs ‘24 head-to-head. ‘24 on right. Piney & dank aroma with a super dank flavor that borders on onion or garlic still swathed in the malty sweet base that ties all Waldo’s together. I’m glad I saved one from last year and I’m saving 1 of these for ‘25

Julian Franklin is drinking an Imperial Grapefruit by Wyder's Cider
A big, sweet, grapefruit flavored apple cider with an impressive 8% ABV. Starts off apple and then finished with just enough citrus grapefruit bite. A winner for sure.

Julian Franklin is drinking a Cadillac Ranch West Texas IPA by 903 Brewers
Smooth and sweet with a fruity melon flavor and a nice earthy backbone. Reminds me of when John M. Kathleen M. and Kelsey M. took Madeleine P. out west for a family vacation. I think I know what I’m getting Kelsey for graduation next month hahaha!

Watching Shōgun and this seemed like an appropriate brew to dust off from the cellar. As smooth and creamy delicious as I remember. Aged quite well.
