Brew Batch #40 Warrior IPA

Into the keg that QQWW was in. There for a while I thought QQWW's keg was magic because it seemed to keep giving beer even though I swore I only had a gallon or so left. Alas, a couple of nights ago, was the last of my quadruple wheat wine. However, I enjoyed the beer so much even at 9.9%abv, you're guaranteed to see it again. Doug (my builder) and I just had some sample swill and it's a good'en! FG 1.010+ 0.001@ 72F gives it a straight 7%abv. It has an awesome initial taste with a great bitter to the back end. Can't wait to get it cold.

Our Tastes-- BBC Quadruple Lambic Blend

Picked up last July or so, I have 2 bottles of this and we're cleaning out the fridge at the Woodland Creek chapter. Color is a dark straw or apple juice with little or no head. Tart raspberry sourness, more sour apple to Melonhead. Oh my Lord! There is an initial sour, acetic acid buttery taste on the 1st mouthful. The 2nd is much the same. After 2 drinks, I'll be waiting for The Enabler to show up to rid our house of more of this. The color is astonishing, aroma complex but the taste is ...acquired? Right now, I am looking for a mass produced Lindemann's to quench Melon's thirst. I can't believe this beer took up my fridge for almost year.
