Beer (again)

Tom and Steve, you got it right. I followed the directions on the bottle to get the head, but I overdid it. My evaluation of this sensory experience:
A very interesting taste, very smooth, and with an immediate kick. I drank one more last night, ice cold and right out of the bottle. Very enjoyable. I am a bottle man. The only complaint (minor) I have is the spice taste. I like a beer to be more "beery". Is that a word? I'd like a bit more bitterness.
But thanks, it broadened my brew knowledge.

I have another brew to try tonite. I'll see if you can guess it by the color again. No peeking till then. I normally don't have my couple of toddy's till after 8 pm or so (unless you twist my arm with sausages, cheeses, potato chips and tailgates).
Okay my friends, what is this I am drinking tonite:
Hey, Bob—that deer engraved on your mug looks identical to the logo for the Atlantic County Game Preserve. Would you happen to be a member there?
Just curious.
Best regards,
Jerseyman

"I am beginning to think that the Lagunitas brews are the best beers I have had this century or the latter part of the last century. How is that for an accolade? Or is that alcolade?"
I also love all their beers, particularly the Censored and Brown Shugga' , wow they are yummy. Actually at the last Fall Family Float Fest at Smithville park in October I was pouring the Censored on tap, had to get the wife to come get me cus it was soo good :-P

I have sent a surveillance team out to the Bamber area to investigate tonight's mystery brew. Stay tuned folks.......
Jerseyman, no, I don't belong to the club. That mug was a birthday gift 25 years ago. Somebody had the strange idea I liked the woods. Fancy that!
Here is tonites sample. I like it better than last nites.

Looks like a Yeungling
Do you think so? I always thought Yeungling was lighter.
No, not Yeungling. Of course, it is tough since probably-what-1,000 beers are the same color as this one!
Bob- this is a blast man! And the ambience in the background is nice too!
I'm thinking you took the advice of someone earlier in this forum and say.............................. Newcastle brown Ale

That's a healthy head on that beer, Bob. I love the picture in the background. Why don't you give us some verbal descriptions of the beer, such as mouthfeel, nose and taste?
I've had the flu for two weeks now, and haven't had a drop of alcohol because of it. I can tell I am getting better, (finally) because that beer looks GOOD. *drool*
It is on the malty side, with a hoppy smell. There is a definite bitterness to it, you can taste it right in the center of your tongue. In fact, though interesting, it is too bitter for my usual tastes, but I would put in into a class of beer that a beer lover would like. Sort of like 3/4's of the way to being a guiness stout. Son of stout if you will. Junior Stout.
I'll give you a clue. ____ Dodgers.
Oh, so close! Give that man a cigar!
Actually, Brooklyn LAGER! Ha!
I approve, but still, its not what I'm looking for. I want something milder, smoother. I'll keep trying (after I finish these and the Hoegaarden).
