Lagunitas Maximus 8.2 ABV IPA from a bottle. Had a draft Long Trail IPA at dinner. I've really liked Long Trail IPA on draft and was terribly disappointed the one time I bought a six pack. It seemed much less flavorful.

I recently tried Long Trail's Belgian White, from a bottle.

My review is: Feh!

Leffe Triple

[king ubu]

I love Leffe! But tonight I've just got some of my "default" beer around ...

[erwbol]

I had a few of those recently. If Urquell wasn't so expensive around here, I'd drink it more often. Thumbs up.

It's by far the favourite of the ones I can get in many supermarkets (I can get Leffe blonde and sometimes brune - but hardly ever triple - there, too, but three 33cl bottles cost about as much as four 50cl cans of Pilsner ... which is still around twice as expensive as the cheapest lager they have on offer).

[erwbol]

Urquell is marketed as a specialty beer above €1,60 (33cl)in one giant supermarket chain around here. Leffe can be had more cheaply, especially blonde, all variants available. It's just that most Dutch pils sucks ass. Hertog Jan is OK, though. I mostly drink Belgian beer.

Lately, my wife has been making these tasty fruit smoothies. I guess they are supposed to give you all the nutrients and other good stuff without the sugars and corn starch-like fillers.

I just put away a blueberry and banana [with spinach, raw nuts and pineapple] smoothie that was just fabulous.

You should see what a Budweiser would cost you in the lowlands.

That's about the price I pay for a 50cl can ... but that's rather cheap in Switzerland. A 33cl bottle of Leffe (blonde or brun, same price) in the supermarket is about one and half times that, in specialised beer shops, it's at least twice that, the triple is at probably more than 4€ a bottle, so you see why I rather get these (or Duvel or whatever I can find - I love Belgian beer!) on special occasions.

But I do own four Leffe glasses ... got them as a gift (with something fitting to fill into them). Guess I'll need Duvel tulips as well, some day.

[erwbol]

That shows how artificially inflated prices for foreign beer can be. I pay about €6.70 for a six pack Triple. A six pack Brune would cost about €0.30 less.

(A six pack Blonde is €4.95 at the local liquor store. A 50cl can €1.29.)

Try the Long Trail Belgian White and get back to me with your impression. Witbier is not my preferred style, but i much prefer Flying Dog's Woody Creek White to the Long Trail in that style. I'm sure LT makes other styles I would enjoy more.

And it's Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry, not Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. Sheesh!

A friend of mine loves the Leffe blonde, it's his default beer. It's just o.k. by me, not my favorite flavor. FWIW, the Beer Advocate Bros. gave it a low rating of 66 (poor). It's probably not the premium example of the style. In contrast, BA bros. gave Orval Trappist a world-class 100, but I have yet to try that.

I would like to try the Leffe Brune, though. I would probably like it better.

Edited June 16, 2013 by Jerry_L

[erwbol]

Not the best example, but it can be had more cheaply and every supermarket around here has it.

The new Leffe Royale Blonde Superieure is a lot more complex and has plenty of character.

"Milk oolong" tea - a specialty tasting like there's some milk in it - but there is no milk. very fine taste.

actually, their smoked porter smelled and tasted like bacon. it's quite tasty, but no oaked arrogant bastard

[steve(thelil)]

I'm a big fan of Arrogant Bastard. (You are what you drink, I guess). Is the oaked version very different? Do you like it better?
