Enjoying this Birmingham IPA while watching the SEC championship game between Georgia and Texas. My Crimson Tide had their chance but let it slip. Using my Trimtab glass that I recently acquired. Has a deep yellow color with a fine haze, partially translucent. Citrus aroma that I can't define. A solid body, smooth almost creamy, with various citrus flavors. Orange, grapefruit, lemon, maybe even some tangerine. It's a citrus punch with nothing being dominant. Has mild bitterness on the back end that leans toward grapefruit. Because of its mild bitterness I would classify this as a New England IPA and I'm definitely enjoying it with my pizza.

Super good, buy it again.

Saturday college football 🏈. This is just a plain premium lager from a good Birmingham Brewery, Trimtab. Nice deep yellow color, didn't have much head and then it was completely gone. A little weak on aroma. Good flavor. A bit of a sour bite on the end. I could have done without that. Soft with very little effervescence. I'm a little disappointed.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. 🦃 Best holiday ever invented. Plenty of traditional family food🍗, football🏈, and if you're lucky, some great craft beer🍺. I've had this holiday beer before but it seems appropriate for today. Short and completely white head. Hazy color that's mostly Orange with traces of red. Aroma is nothing but Berliner Weiss, can smell wheat malt and sour berry fruit. I might have underrated this the last time. The cranberry is up front and blends perfectly with seasonal spice. Very fruity and they nailed the holiday spirit. Going to have to up my rating.

Thought I was having a new beer on this 4th of July holiday at the swimming pool. Found out I had it in 2019. Here, at this pool. I'll rate it anyway. Pouring into a solid yeti cup, seems to be a light yellow with plenty of head. Sweet citrus aroma. Thought it was just going to be a simple pale Ale. I was wrong. Flavor gives orange peel and a touch of grapefruit. Very refreshing on a hot, sunshiny day. Good beer for the pool.

At Trim Tab Brewing enjoying another recently released Stout. Again using real ingredients. Very small, dark head. Open glass hindered aroma, only could detect dark malt. Texture was much lighter than I was expecting. Still had softness and modestly dry feel. Dark roasted malt in abundance. A dark raw chocolate liqueur alcohol in the background. Peanut butter comes late middle and travels through the finish. Dark chocolate finishes a little stronger than early on. Enjoyed this soft yet dry Stout with the peanut butter was a bit too far in the background. It should have a more predominant role in the flavor.

At Trim Tab Brewing enjoying a few on draft. New stout, just released. Using real ingredients of coconut and vanilla bean. Congratulations to them on ingredient integrity. Small 6 oz serving, brief dark brown head. Aroma immediately relays the coconut and alcohol. Texture is soft, heavy, almost syrupy. Flavor has sweet dark molasses, Barrel aging is apparent, raw coconut and a very well-balanced vanilla. Has an alcohol presence that seems stronger than 9.8%. Late in the finish, the Barrel aging with the deep malt gave it a dark chocolate quality. Very impressed with this Stout. Not known for heavy stouts, Trim Tab did good.

Getting ready to watch all of the Alabama alumni playing for the Eagles in today's Super Bowl. Lots of family at my son's house with food on the grill. Looking forward to the game, Go Eagles! 🦅 Pours with a very hazy deep burnt orange color. One finger of head but disappears shortly. Lightly sour aroma, sugary, background of cranberry. Full of flavor. Has the typical blur liner why sour with its own characteristics of cinnamon nutmeg and spice. Cranberry is in the background but not as strong as the other flavors. As it travels into the finish I distinct flavor of clove appears. Interesting and refreshing. A spicy and holiday take on a Berliner Weiss. Not my favorite category but I think they did a good job.
