New computer and beer

Last week I bought a new computer. I bought it in parts and then a friend of mine, Niklas, helped me assemble it. Once we got it started we celebrated with two very interesting beers.

First a couple of pictures from building the computer:




Then onwards to more important stuff, the beer:


Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse (Bottle) 8,5%
This is the other beer in the experiment between Brooklyn and Schneider. This one has been brewed by the Schneider brewmaster Drexler in the Brooklyn brewery. I have already tried the one Garret Oliver made at the Schneider brewery and I gave it a 3,4/5.

It poured a hazy pale golden liquid with a big foam that left allot of lacing along the side of the glas.

It had a very pleasent smell of both foam banana and hops. Also some yeast, passion fruit and other sweet fruits. Very nice!

The first thing I noticed after trying it was the high carbonation that clouded all the flavor in the beer. After whirling it around a bit and with less carbonation it was allot better. It had a flavor of foam banana, hops, yeast with a medium bitterness. The alcohol was hidden by the high carbonation but was soon noticable. Some chemical bitterness but not so bad, it was worse in the other version and one of the things that lowered the score a bit. This one also felt more balanced then the Garett Oliver version. Very nice beer overall, I hope they do a similar experiment soon again.
Total: 3,9/5


Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel (Bottle) 9%
It poured a hazy golden liquid with a huge icecream looking foam that left allot of lacing on the side of the glas.

It had an aroma of yeast, hops and ripe fruit.

It was smooth with a flavor of grassy hops, honey and yeast. The alcohol was well hidden and I didn't expect the 9% that was printed on the bottle. It was also a bit dry. All in all a very nice beer as well.
Total: 3,7/5
