Mat is drinking a Kveikin' En Una Canoa by Brunelle Brewery at M. Kelly Brewery - Media

Clear with a bit of sediment. Low carb. Tastes like a Czech pils. Quite nice. "ML". After consulting with Justin B. , it's his Mexican lager, so here we are. Thanks JFB!

Not a bad seasonal beer. Good flavor, not too hoppy.

Mat is drinking a Socially Distant by Brunelle Brewery at M. Kelly Brewery - Media

Aged and surprisingly ok. Fundamental funk instead of many other sours being the citrus variety. Subtle grenadine finish.

Lite body. Decent example. Of the style. I'd like more roast on the finish but Justin B. did it to his preference, so 🍻.

Mat: Thus was from the New Realm growler, Justin B. , which seemed to hold carb fine. Mel had a pint, too.

Mat: They're grolsch-style tops, and it could be the tops, or the manner/order they were filled. I was told to chill bottles to retain CO2, maybe applies to growlers if filling from a keg.

Mat: Gets better with age. I thought it had peaked but like it more now than last time. It has its merits and I don't have the vocabulary or training to identify the components to describe the missing je ne sais quoi.

Jeff G: C'est l'âge. This style is great and just gets better with time

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 02:20:14 +0000 Report

Mat: Jeff G. Such is the reason why I continue aging these beers. A tripel is easier and customizable but a BDS/quad takes time/patience to appreciate.

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 02:34:43 +0000 Report

Jeff G: Mat basically the same recipe for both tho! I like to split the batch and switch up the candi sugar addition. Two for the price of one! I love making belgian strongs in any case because they're a piece of cake to make, and age fantastically.

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 03:00:08 +0000 Report

Mat: Jeff G. Candi rocks or syrup? I've heard strong opinions.

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 03:10:52 +0000 Report

Jeff G: I've only used syrup so far tbh

Justin B. 's Torpedo clone—similarities are there. Hops selection seems right, particularly on the flavor, but the bitter is comparatively light as is the aroma (dh?). Reminds me more of a slightly more bitter Sierra Nevada pale. Great beer regardless.
