To be perfectly honest, my trip to Bamberg has not quite lived up to my expectations, but Mahrs' Pils is pretty great. Surprisingly modern, too, for such a traditional brewery: unusually aromatic with a noticeable dry-hop. I liked it even better than their signature "U".

For me, the presentation of a beer is critical. If a beer looks muddy (unless the style calls for it) and foamless, my brain makes me believe it's not a quality beer.
Yeah, that's a dumper right there. I'd be pissed if that came out of one of my taps...
Water
Last day in the Finger Lakes region of NY, heading home tomorrow. Will take a different route, crossing into Ontario just north of Niagara Falls, then back across the border at Port Huron, MI, and staying the night in Paw Paw, MI. Then to WI to visit my brother and on home.
Went to Star Cider again in Canandaigua this afternoon for some apple squeezins. I had a bourbon barrel-aged cider, Mrs. Stout had a ginger apple cider.

HB NonHazy Hazy. Got another planed as a true hazy with Bru-1. Crazy as it sounds, yesterday's brew has fermented to 1.010 today. But it'll only be about 5.5%. I registered 102F fermentation temp this morning!

HB honey malt
Founders Porter. Pretty good. Has the coffee notes but I'm missing the graham cracker sweetness which it could use since there's some bitterness from the coffee.
HB Dubbel
Hb Czech premium lager, humid... in freakin may. Ughh, glass is not clear, beer is. I'm being stingy and not turning on a/c yet
I had the pleasure to meet @MaxStout and Mrs. MaxStout earlier this week for lunch while they vacationed in my neck of the woods. I wish I had more time to meet back up with them. Safe travels back home!
HBC meeting we tasted a mixed pack of European craft beers. Only one was totally meh homebrew after a very nice black IPA.
Homebrew Brown Ale last night.
HB hazy'ish is tapped
Working on my filet skills, fileting trout sucks a$$ but they'll be on the smoker. Czech premium lager to help me along.
J J Blonde Ale.
HB wheat
Couple of painkillers and unlimited sushi. Apps first
Beer: City Built Grand Rapids, Czech Dark Lager at Foundry in East Jordan, MI waiting for my P/U order.
O'fest. About a month and a half past BBD but still tasty!
Battle of the HB Belgian Dubbels. Bottled vs Kegged
Carbonation is much different. Bottled is more bubbly as Duvall might be. Kegged is more silky smooth. Aroma is the same. Flavor is interesting. Bottled is more fig/plum forward and sweeter, unexpected. Kegged is more mushy/grainy with a little unpleasant bitter bite at the end. Less fruity. Enjoyed the bottle much more, fascinating!

Kettlehouse Mosaic IPA
Hoping to visit Kettlehouse Brewing in September. Can’t get their brews in Boise, so we’ll go there, sample some, and stock up.
Short Pour of HB Vermont Maple Porter.

I’m with you , Claudius B . Even if the style calls for it cloudy or foamless beer has no appeal . That’s why I never brew nor drink Hefes , NEIPAs , very strong ales etc . Having said that Porter and Stout can park their slippers under my bed any day ..
HB Quad .. Bottled
