Ninkasi tasting

Photo: double-dry-hopped Tricerahops Double IPA, and Unconventionale Imperial Stout.

Th Tricerahops is a great big IPA, and this extra hoppy version is an improvement on the original.

The Unconventionale is an interesting one -- it's brewed with heather, lavender, and tarragon. Normally I'm not a huge fan of spiced beers, but this is really well done. The spices are very subtle, lending a pleasant "foodness" to the beer -- almost like a middle-eastern dish. It is also very drinkable, for its 10%abv.

Nice to try some Ninkasi beers I hadn't had before -- very enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.
