  ONE GUINESS TWO GUINNII?
  
  The Irishman explains he began this custom with his two brothers, who have moved to America and Australia, respectively. This is their way of remembering all the time they spent drinking together.
  
  The man becomes a regular at the pub, well-known for always ordering three beers at once. One day he walks in and orders only two beers. Assuming the worst, a hush falls among other patrons.
  
  When the Irishman returns to the bar to order his second round, the bartender quietly offers his condolences. The man looks confused for a moment, and then explains, "No, everyone's fine. I gave up beer for lent."

  Here's what I'm drinkin' now:

  
  
  It's been awhile since my last update. I've been busy in lab attaching radioactive phosphate groups to Histone H1, and thus haven't had as much time for beer. I picked up two 750 mL bottles of Unibroue 15 at Downtown Wine and Spirits a couple weeks ago. I decided to have one tonight and save the other for cellaring. I should pick up another bottle or two of Edition 2005, so I can do a vertical tasting that includes 11, Editions 2004 & 2005 and 15. I let this warm up to around 45ºF and served in one of my Duvel Tulips. Unibroue 15 is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale. BJCP Style Guide.
  
  Appearance (5.0): The pressure inside the bottle shot the cork across my room. Pours a hazy amber-golden, with a thick fluffy head, and large champagne-like bubbles that stream from the etching at the bottom of my tulip. Good head retention, with patchy lace clinging to the side of the glass. The head eventually fades to a thin layer, but reemerges readily upon swirling.
  
  Smell (4.5): Upon opening and pouring I noticed a strong earthy yeasty smell. In the nose there's a light sweetness, an orange-cream aroma, bananas, peppery spice, and a light graininess.
  
  Taste (4.5): When the carbonation dies down sweet malts are evident upfront. These are eclipsed by a citric tartness that becomes evident in the center. I also get fruity notes of sour apple and banana. Finishes with a nice bitterness, with notes of spice and alcoholic warmth.
  
  Mouthfeel (4.5): Vigorous carbonation, medium-bodied, smooth, with a slightly oily feel. The finish is mildly dry.
  
  Drinkability (4.5): Despite being 10% alcohol by volume, this beer is delicious and easy to drink. I'll have to go back to DW&S and buy them out of this one.
  
  Overall (4.6): A great example of the style. It's hard to compare to the other beers in this series since I haven't had them in so long, but overall very enjoyable.

  Cheers to all!

  I believe we had one of these threads not too long ago, but it's always a positive subject, so here goes:

  1. Yeungling Lager, (Pennsylvania)

  2. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

  3. Guiness

  4. Hacker Schorr Dark Weiss (Germany)

  You're a man after my own heart done4good. I've put quite a dent in the Yeungling supply over the years!

  LOL! Had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap last night. I think I may have to look you up.

  I guess it might be a PA thing, but I gotta go with the Yeungling! And if thats not available, I'll take a Sam Adams. Cheers!!!

  Damn, nvr, that has got to be the bees knees!!

  Over the weekend, I had quite a few Maudite at my sis' place, but I know for a fact I've never had "15" from Unibroue!!

  EVERTHING they produce is top-notch, I envy you!!

  TheCoolerKing,

  I guess it might be a PA thing, but I gotta go with the Yeungling! And if thats not available, I'll take a Sam Adams. Cheers!!!

  Yes, perhaps it is a PA thing, as I enjoy Yeungling (Good) and Sam Adams (One of my all time faves, Boston Lager ONLY)

  Cheers to all!!!!

  BA

  PS- Hempen Ale- Good!! Unibroue- Way better!!

  Bro A! It's a savory brew! I love the Maudite as well. Now that I'm up here in Canada, you'll have to come tour the facilities. Cheers friend!
