Speaker:Oh, we're loving our beer, and we're ordering the same beer,
Speaker:which is fan tastic. See what.
Speaker:We are. Drinking patterns.
Speaker:A double IPA from great notion brewing 8.2%.
Speaker:You're welcome over there how 4.01 on untapped very respectable
Speaker:from great notion they say this double
Speaker:IPA unveils to us new and exciting forms from the patterns within
Speaker:brewed with Roca hops from a family farm in New Zealand.
Speaker:We're excited to bring you this special double IPA.
Speaker:Special indeed is super special.
Speaker:Yeah, this you've had this before, Fleck
Speaker:and you're like, you got to try the patterns.
Speaker:And I waited for the show.
Speaker:This is my first taste. Yeah.
Speaker:So I'm going to let you know when I crack this can.
Speaker:It says Ruakaka hops
Speaker:have a very robust aroma to them.
Speaker:Yeah. And
Speaker:it once
Speaker:you crack the can, you instantly smell it and then pouring it out into the glass.
Speaker:It just emanates that so much more.
Speaker:But it's what I thought was kind of strange as looking up a hops
Speaker:and a lot of a lot of things, say citrus, orange, grapefruit,
Speaker:kumquats, which are essentially, you know, baby oranges.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:In a nutshell, I got like some real floral,
Speaker:dank aromas and it was actually kind of reminiscent of like a really,
Speaker:really high end gin, like juniper berry floral kind of notes to it.
Speaker:And that just totally blew my mind.
Speaker:That's, you know, I'm not a big gin drinker, so to never come up with that.
Speaker:But I was having a hard time putting my finger on the schnoz, like
Speaker:I got some floral notes and I was, you know, was like, what is that smell?
Speaker:And you maybe you nailed it.
Speaker:I'm not a gin drinker.
Speaker:I hope I nailed it because it's it's exactly what when I smell.
Speaker:When I drink a really, really nice gin.
Speaker:You've got my stamp of you. Nailed it.
Speaker:You definitely nailed it. I guess. My gosh. Well, thank you so much.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Have me a dank blacks. Hmm.
Speaker:I love me some dank. And this is. It's their.
Speaker:Oh, it's delicious.
Speaker:Yeah. Erica, where's your microphone? Yeah.
Speaker:Why are you far away?
Speaker:What? Oh, sorry.
Speaker:You had me a dank flex there.
Speaker:Is that better? I was like, what the. Yeah, sounds like.
Speaker:It was so much better. It was sticking straight up.
Speaker:I was like it was looking at the ceiling.
Speaker:I'm supposed to do that? Oh, the microphone. Okay. Yeah, it was.
Speaker:It's like just letting a dude saying I'm like, hey, I took the blue pill.
Speaker:But yeah, I mean, the color on this one, too, it's it's gorgeous.
Speaker:I mean, gorgeous.
Speaker:Like a what did you call like a pale straw yellow type.
Speaker:The straw is a good term for that.
Speaker:Visually, this is what I want every hazy to look like.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:It almost has a sparkle to it.
Speaker:I mean. Yeah. And the bubbles.
Speaker:I think that's just alcohol. Talking. Is that what it is.
Speaker:Those beer.
Speaker:Goggles?
Speaker:Whew. There goes the microphone again.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:I mean, the on the tongue job, I get some of those floral notes,
Speaker:but I'm getting way more tropical than I did on the nose.
Speaker:It's kind of hides in there.
Speaker:You smell it and you get one thing. You taste it.
Speaker:It's it's very tropical.
Speaker:You get like the orange in the come quiet that you were talking about
Speaker:and I don't know, maybe some like mango or something going on.
Speaker:Yeah, tiny bubbles. Well.
Speaker:Just about everything you said is what's going on.
Speaker:And all the things are having my mouth.
Speaker:Oh, yes. Oh, man.
Speaker:This is just. But huge.
Speaker:Thanks. It's a great notion.
Speaker:Yeah. Thanks for that.
Speaker:This is. Patterns.
Speaker:But I have to be honest, when I go to Portland,
Speaker:because that's where a lot of my family is.
Speaker:And, you know, we'll head up great notion.
Speaker:And I always try to go for like
Speaker:the unusual sours and the blueberry, all these things.
Speaker:I don't I never really thought of them as an IPA.
Speaker:All Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker:What I really love about great notion
Speaker:is you go on their their new app that they Yeah.
Speaker:Sent out or that they released and they say straight up on the app
Speaker:IPAs sours and like gourmet
Speaker:stouts or something like that but it's like they don't fuck around.
Speaker:They straight up tell you, look, we are brewing IPAs, sours
Speaker:and stouts, all of them and and they don't give a shit, you know, those like.
Speaker:All those things. Yeah. And I just think that's really great.
Speaker:That is. Yeah.
Speaker:And I'm with Erika like whenever I saw them before, which was rare
Speaker:shipping is like, oh, let me grab that sour
Speaker:because it's always here about this hour, but this hazy
Speaker:fucking chef's kiss over here, it's just beautiful.

Speaker:The tape job on the box was like getting into Fort Knox.
Speaker:Like they know it was in it whole.
Speaker:Can they know what the hell they're doing?
Speaker:I needed a fucking machete to give me.
Speaker:And I think I know who packed it.
Speaker:So I was just, you know, I had a booth at a beer fest last weekend and

Speaker:We need to be a character for Halloween or something.
Speaker:Yeah, like be funny.
Speaker:We so funny but yeah, so impressed with what they do.
Speaker:And I was not expecting that from this
Speaker:because I thought it was they were just the sour kind of thing but
Speaker:good.
Speaker:Weren't trying their beers at the festival.
Speaker:Yes. So they were pouring the ripe which I got some cans of the ripe
Speaker:so I didn't go for that.

Speaker:I need my friends to be right next to me because I could handle
Speaker:the booth is they just start like stacking the cups.
Speaker:They go and get more and they stack them like, Oh,
Speaker:this was a martin, this was a bar, and they're just sitting there.
Speaker:So I'm like drinking them while they're going and filling up my cup.
Speaker:I don't remember what half of beers were, but they're pretty good.
Speaker:Like I said, it's like the job
Speaker:that you can drink and work and you know, whatever.
Speaker:That's like we were.
Speaker:At a was like Surfin said almost a year ago
Speaker:and while you from the booths like they had a booth
Speaker:and while he got us in and and Callie was working the booth
Speaker:so we'd go like drink a beer and then we'd come back around like,
Speaker:you guys need fills and we grab their glasses
Speaker:and go fill them up and then go drink a beer like a good or even more.
Speaker:So we just kept dropping beers off at their booth and they're.
Speaker:It's perfect. They're so lined up. And then

Speaker:And then I think I'm like Boston and then it just stays Long Island and.
Speaker:You know, at some points I can feel like I feel like my accent is Boston.
Speaker:And then I talk to beer
Speaker:girl Melissa and I'm like, Oh, no, no, it sounds just like her.

Speaker:I don't know if I've had a Corona light.
Speaker:It's a little less is way less skunky.
Speaker:12 for, like 12 bucks in Mexico on ice with, like, dead cockroaches in there.
