My impression is that the Growlito makes one hell of a Molotov cocktail. :D
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

Hop aroma and bitterness both there. Some malt sweetness as well. Picked up the free six-pack from the brew off. I like it, but wouldn't have more than 2 or 3 in a session.

They had some Citra in a cask that I got a sample of last Friday. It seemed much better than my Growlito fill but I had some more beer in between so my taste buds could have been off a bit.

I had a Left Hand Milk Stout and now onto a Rochefort 10.

I was really happy with the LH, that's a good beer there.

The Rochefort is fucking awesome. :cheers:

Having a Garrison Barrel Aged Barelywine :cheers3:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
