How was the Hell's Cellar?

Couple of beers in Buenos Aires. I'll just say the wine was better than the beer.

I think this is my first 903 beer. Pretty good beer. Excellent can art.

It was pretty good, a little more sour than I prefer but not too acetic. Body was very thin which happens with aged beers with multiple bugs. It was totally flat which was a bummer. I was glad I got it but wouldn't buy another.

I tried some 903 beers several years back. I did not like any of them at all. I talked to the rep from Green Light a couple month sago and she said they have recently hired a new head brewer and the beers were good. I will give them another try.

Iirc, the carb on that beer was bad when it was released.

I was kind of worried about it because the cap was set with too much pressure. You can tell because it was dented in the middle. This (imho) causes it to spring back and let gas escape. I have had the same problem with my home brews in the past. You could tell that there was plenty of fermentation to bottle condition. The underside of the cap as well as the neck of the bottle had kreuzen residue. The cap just let the CO2 escape.

903 beers that I have had are generally of the dessert variety. Lots of brownie peppermint mocha stouts kinda thing.

Think I liked one along the way but most of them just were a bit sweet for my taste.

At the pitch with my boy.

More hotel drinking while wife is in the other room (just like last time, it's a suite) winding down to get ready for her marathon that starts at 5:30. In Newport Beach this time so grabbed something localish that I've never seen before.



Went by Green Cheek Brewing for lunch and had "This Page Intentionally Left Blank"

Not the best I've had, but sitting on Copacabana beach much them taste just that much better.

Maybe not the best but possibly the coldest.

I hate posting a picture of just a pint, because it could be anything, but this one is a Pliny for President. Really good change of pace. A little smoother and more rounded off than the crispness of the original. Had a couple.
