Beer Review: Sorbetto 42 (Ever Grain Brewing Co.) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2022/01/16/beer-review-sorbetto-42-ever-grain-brewing-co/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-sorbetto-42-ever-grain-brewing-co Sun, 16 Jan 2022 14:50:53 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=8553
Sorbetto Number 42 by Ever Grain Brewing Co.

Sorbetto

There is a secret Sorbetto dance I perform when I see Ever Grain post they came out with a new Sorbetto. I might do a similar celebration dance for the yinzbetto series and Drippity announcements too. Since it’s so darn cold out, this dance was effective at also warming up my cold bones.

Yes, I’m still obsessed with the Sorbetto series. I just feel like Ever Grain gets me when it comes to this series. It was everything I needed in my life and well…. still need! The forty second one in the series does not disappoint! Check out my other Sorbetto review – Beer Review: Sorbetto 40 (Ever Grain Brewing Co.) or my other beer review from Ever Grain Brewing (Beer Review: Missile Toad)

(You can find other Ever Grain beer reviews here as well: All Together, Peanut Butter Udder One, Multiple Beer Review: Barrel Aged Barleywine, You Think Darkness is Your Ally?, 3rd Anniversary Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout, Cinn-a-Bunn).

And now, time for the review:

Beer Review

Sorbetto #42 by Ever Grain Brewing Company

Beer: Sorbetto Series #42
Brewery: Ever Grain Brewing Co
Style: Sour – Fruited
ABV: 6%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: Raspberry Swirl Sour Ale conditioned on raspberry, marshmallow, and vanilla.  *contains lactose.

Does anyone have images of the Kool-Aid man bursting through brick walls at different points in their lives?  Please tell me it isn’t just me!

Kool-Aid Man

That first sip of Sorbetto #42 I immediately visualize the Kool-Aid but in a Raspberry shape instead of the classic glass pitcher.  When he bursts through the wall instead of bricks flying there are raspberries flying at your head, aggressively.  I’m dodging the raspberries but then I get overpowered, and I’m soon buried by berries.

The Raspberry flavor is very much the HBIC in this Sour.  There is no doubt about it.  It’s a delightful mix of sweet and tart raspberries.  That first nose and that first sip don’t leave anything else for you to play with on your tongue but raspberries.  It’s just that moment when you think to yourself “ok, I’m about down with the raspberries…” the marshmallow and vanilla kick in and mellow out the fierce berry swirls.  That second sip will whip you right back in the face with the berries, watch out. 

Drink more beer,
Amy.

Ohhhhhhhhhh Yeeeeeeaahhhhhhhhhh

Beer Review: Missile Toad (Ever Grain Brewing Co.) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2021/12/22/beer-review-missile-toad-ever-grain-brewing-co/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-missile-toad-ever-grain-brewing-co Wed, 22 Dec 2021 12:01:16 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=8466
Missile Toad by Ever Grain Brewing Co.

Missile Toad

When this tasty season treat came out last year when we were all stir crazy from quarantine I went on a long, long adventure with my friend the Missile Toad. I am normally not a fan of the grapefruit notes in my beer, but this triple IPA holds up with a high ABV, very light straw color and a not so boozy taste.

Beer Review

Beer: Missile Toad
Brewery: Ever Grain Brewing Co
Style: Triple New England/HAZY
ABV: 10.5%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: “Seasons greetings from a hop rocket of holiday happiness. Exploding with juiciness, this hazy Imperial IPA combines citrus notes with a soft piney finish. It’s like a tropical vacation in the middle of winter.”

The tropical vacation we all wish we should go on.  Ah yes, the part of the holiday season I look forward to, holiday beer releases.  They don’t all provide a high ABV and the MT will quickly sneak up on you. 

That first sniff is a wonderful citrusy aroma.  The Citrus flavors in this TIPA carry on and linger but are not overpowering.  Just when you think that is about all this beer has to offer the light pine taste comes in and you glide down to a soft landing that combines this subtle tropical citrus taste and somehow delightfully pine taste

I first tasted this one a year ago before reading the description.  A pine and a citrus flavor description beforehand would have given my taste buds a SCARE.  The light tropical flavor with an aroma of a citrus sleigh ride bring back that thrill of getting your first crate of grapefruit or oranges over the holiday season.  It didn’t matter if you ate them until your mouth was raw, that fresh citrus flavor was unmatched and you craved it.

The pine flavor.  I thought I would hate it.  Right away I envisioned picking pine needles out of my teeth, maybe a slight sticky sap feeling crossed my mind too. “little full, lotta sap”

This is the magic of drinking a well brewed beer.  The flavor and aroma you end with brought back some of the first memories of rounding the corner to dive into your pile of presents on Christmas morning.  That thrill of making sure your siblings were in-tow when you raced to the tree and that light pine scent danced around you as you believed in the magic of Christmas.  But as an adult, I also believe in the magic of holiday beer releases.

In case anyone is looking for a Christmas present for me, I wear a size – 4pack of Missile Toad!

Drink more beer!
Cheers,
– Amy

Sorbetto 40 by Ever Grain Brewing Co.

The big 4 0

Sorbetto #40 by Ever Grain Brewing Co

There is a secret part of me, well not so secret anymore, that is OBSESSED with the sorbetto line. Maybe a little obsession with the yinzbetto line. The Sorbetto series was the line of beers that got me through quarantine and coincidently celebrating my 40th birthday over quarantine as well. The thrill of a new sorbetto announcement STILL tickles my fancy.

Beer: Sorbetto Series #40

Brewery: Ever Grain Brewing Co

Style: Sour – Fruited

ABV: 6%

IBU: None

Untappd Description: Sour Ale aged on raspberries, Boysenberries, Strawberries, and chocolate cookies *contains Lactose

The fortieth installment of the sorbetto series from Ever Grain Brewing company was exactly what you would want it to be; fruity, dense, just slightly sour, chocolatey and just sweet enough to creep a smile across your face.  I’m pretty sure if you checked my phone’s history you would see that I have screenshotted and shared every Sorbetto Facebook post from Ever Grain. But each time I crack open a new sorbetto I am squealing with excitement! The fruity sour aromas engulf my face because, of course, I’m inhaling as deep as possible, and I am in love again.

The same with all the other sorbettos; it is dark, dense, and delicious. I can’t say for sure if I ever have specifically eaten boysenberries. After googling a boysenberry image I’m sure I have but I just thought it was a blackberry. I can say for sure I tasted all the berries dancing on my tongue. I couldn’t quite pick out a boysenberry flavor, like I said not sure if I’ve consumed them, but I can pick out the raspberry and strawberry.

One might even compare it to a tootsie pop. You taste all the berry combinations on that first sip then but then at the end a very subtle chocolate flavor. Maybe a multi berry tootsie pop then is more appropriate.

Some might refer to this as a desert beer, but I tend to rich for a sweet stout before a sour fruited beer. Whichever sweet berries or chocolate flavors are you favorite I highly recommend you try a pour while it’s still on draft or grab a 4 pack. Ever Grain should expect me to secretly stalk their Facebook until number 41 is ready!

Save the ocean, drink more beer.
-Amy

Beer Review: FVCK COVID (Version 2.0) (Ale Asylum) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2020/08/04/beer-review-fvck-covid-version-2-0-ale-asylum/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-fvck-covid-version-2-0-ale-asylum Wed, 05 Aug 2020 01:30:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=3968
FVCK COVID by Ale Asylum

Bit late on getting this review up, been meaning to get this written, alongside the Stone Cold Steve Austin IPA we had that night, and I also apologize that there hasn’t been a new post in a bit, been a rocky few days for myself (not speaking for the other writers; just for myself). But…. here it is, and its about time I get this up.

I feel like this is a beer that well encapsulates a lot of people’s thoughts about the disease. I was going back and forth on how to write up the beer name for the title and in the article. The can itself reads as “FVCK COVID” – and it also shows up as such on Untappd, but I was also tempted to do F*CK COVID; but felt that actually looked more vulgar. I think the misspelling of it (even with a letter replacement that is meant to be similar) actually detracts from the vulgarity of it. Either way though, the beer’s title is FVCK COVID, and it exactly what everyone thinks of this virus.

So needless to say, once I saw this on Breski’s Beverages Facebook page, I knew I needed to pick up a four pack of it and give it a try for the blog. As always, I cannot recommend Breski’s Beverage enough. One of the best beer distributors in the Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) area. One of the best bottle (and can) shops, with lots of hard to find breweries and some ‘whale’ status breweries as well. Occasionally having Triple Crossing, Aslin Brewing, Burley Oak Brewing, etc on their drafts for crowlers / growlers as well is also nice. One of the best selections for mix-a-six packs (definitely hop on their deals for mix-a-sixes, a fantastic way to try new beers and breweries). So when I stopped in, I picked up a four-pack of FVCK COVID as well as the Stone Cold Steve Austin IPA from El Segunda Brewery. My first from either of these breweries. Look for the Broken Skull IPA review soon. (I know, I know, I’m a bit backlogged on the beer reviews.)

(Yes, like I said above… I am quite back logged on the beer reviews. I have a long list of word.doc’s on my computer of tasting notes, and factoids and things about a whole host of beers that I’ve had in recent months; just need to write them up and post them.)

I had picked up the two four-packs for one of our many video game streaming sessions at D. Scott’s. He runs a Facebook page where he streams various video games, and (B. Kline) I’m a somewhat regular on it. We’ve been doing a lot of randomizers for The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time, as well as Majora’s Mask, and other games. You can check out his Facebook page here: Knights of Nostalgia. Definitely check it out sometime while we’re on. (Right now D. Scott is doing a stream where he’s doing the side scrollers of Wizards and Warriors, and I’m having it play in the background as I type up this article.)

Enough with all the pre-beer review shenanigans and lets get on with the beer review – which is what I’m assuming 99.999999999% of those reading this are really here for anyway (not the drunken ramblings of a mad man; but the beer reviews of a drunken mad man who rambles….).

Onward!

FVCK COVID Version 2.0 by Ale Asylum

Beer: FVCK COVID (Version 2.0)
Brewery: Ale Asylum
Style: Pale Ale – New England
ABV: 5%
IBU: None Listed
Untappd Description: The second installment of our FVCK COVID series. How about a shirt or neck gaiter to match the beer? Visit our Merchandise store at www.aleasylum and you can wear what we’re all thinking.

Ale Asylum is a brewery from Madison Wisconsin. They are listed as a Regional Brewery with 64 unique beers to their name and a global average rating of 3.72 on Untappd. Their Untappd description reads: “ALE ASYLUM is unfiltered and all natural. This is what we mean when we say our beer is FERMENTED IN SANITY. You know who makes it, you know what it’s made with.”

Starting off with appearance (as I usually do in my reviews) this looks like a typical New England style IPA or Pale Ale variant. In this case its a Pale Ale, and it is a bit lighter and not as full bodied looking as a New England IPA might. But it still has that same similar appearance; a hazy, orange, glowing, unfiltered drink. With a nice foamy white head with plenty of carbonation and good bubbles.

The nose to this isn’t all that particular or crazy exciting. Its a typical New England pale ale; and because of it being a pale ale versus an IPA, its not got that much of a hop aroma to it. Despite being New England, despite being unfiltered, the nose is minimal hop aroma, minimal fruit notes, more just blandish beer smell.

Taste, at least it gets a bit beyond bland. Its not a crazy ridiculous new taste, but its not bland. It is a pale ale and not an IPA so its a bit low on the flavor profile, especially as far as hops go. My notes from the night of on this is that its a nice beer, a bit light on flavor, light on hop flavor in particular, but it has a pleasant overall taste with no aftertaste or lingering bad taste. It is a bit strong on malt and has a noticeable malt sweetness to it. There is some floral-ness to it, but its a bit underwhelming. This is not a bad beer and I’m not taking anything away from it. Its malty, its sweet, its floral, its light hoppy, and its a good beer, and at 5% its easy to knock down the whole four pack in a sitting while playing video games with your buddy. This beer though is definitely sold on its name above all. I don’t want to take away from the beer, because its a good beer, just not great, but as far as marketing goes, the beer name kind of sells itself. Its a theme in craft beer; a cool name or a gimmick pop culture or cultural reference, or cool can art, sells the beer more than the quality of the beer itself does. Thats not completely and necessarily the case here, but it gets a boost because of its name in sales I imagine. I’m guilty of that, buying a beer based on can art, or like in the case of this – beer name. My guilty vices for this is any beer that is Star Wars or Futurama themed; their auto instant buys for me. This was still a very enjoyable beer, and I don’t mean to sound pessimistic or upset at it, its a good beer and enjoyable, and worth the drink.

My Untappd Rating: ***.75
Global Untappd Rating: 3.46 (as of 8.4.20)

Sorry this took so long to be posted. I’ve been working on several articles all at once (including several Black is Beautiful beer reviews), as well as working on other side stuff too. But, my August hasn’t gone quite to plan. I haven’t gotten as much accomplished as I’ve wanted. A lot of things going on, an increase in hours at work (50-55 hour weeks), amongst a lot of other things going on in my life (personal and otherwise). It is interesting, a year ago this past few days is when I took my daughters on our trip – on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd – and went up Elk Country to Kinzua Bridge to Pittsburgh to Bushy Run and back to Central PA.

You can read about those here:

August (2019) Road Trip Series:

Stay tuned for some stuff coming out soon, like the huge backlog of beer reviews like I’ve mentioned earlier, as well as any day now a new interview with a beer scientist from Cape May Brewing with A. Parys. As well as an interview I’ve done with Scott Smith of East End Brewing. I’m also excited to do beer reviews for several of the Black is Beautiful beers, including the Ever Grain / Harris Family / Wolf Brewing collab, the Spring House Brewing one, and hopefully if I can snag a can (or more) Thursday at Troegs Brewery the Harris Family / Troegs Brewing collaboration.

Lots of stuff to see and do here at The Beer Thrillers, so be sure to subscribe, like, and follow us here, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Thank you everyone for reading, and please be sure to leave a comment!

Cheers!
