Craig D.: Mushroom would be a first for me! Interesting.
FlandersNed is drinking a Just Like Honey by Mikerphone Brewing
16oz can - over 2 months old, but doing great! Had a vanilla/marshmallow, pineapple and sweet citrus taste to it. Full-bodied too. My wife loved the sweet/bitter fruity flavor. Surprised the ratings weren’t higher (or maybe it aged into maturity).
Can
FlandersNed is drinking a Buckley Reserve #1 (2021) by Transient Artisan Ales
16.9oz bottle. Nice booziness (15.5% ABV) cut by some vanilla & maple syrup sweetness, all balanced by plenty of jamocha taste (chocolate & coffee). A bit thin but tasty: 4.4. If you need Great Taste of the Midwest tickets PM me your name & phone number!
Bottle
FlandersNed is drinking The Arrow of Gold by Schramm's Mead
375ml bottle. Nice nutmeg mead flavor with mold oak and bourbon flavors. Would’ve been better with more bourbon presence as the nutmeg seems to overwhelm it. Not cheap at ~$50/bottle. 4.4
Bottle
FlandersNed is drinking a Solo Mosaic by Ferndale Project
16oz can. Tasted like bitter, freeze-dried citrus juice. Light earthy/mushroom flavor developed after it warmed. Not my fave from them but good mouthfeel for the style. 3.9
Can
16oz can. Just as good ~2 months after trying it on tap (& buying the can dated 3/9/22) at the brewery. Sweetish, slightly aged (but agreeable), orange, kumquat & red grapefruit tastes. Can opened from the bottom for my collection (hence it’s upside down)
