Bring something too fancy? This all changed when I saw Doordash now delivers beer. I was totally daydreaming there for a bit. Sorry about that.
OMG whoops, I just ordered some beer! My first order I was totally skeptical. I thought the beer is going to arrive warm, out of date, and just a tad bit spendy. But listen up, I spent about the same as I would with gas, time, and actual beer cost! The delivery time said 51 minutes.
Thirty-nine minutes later, the doorbell rang. The dogs barked. The six-pack date: 12 days old. The growlers, poured fresh and tags filled out by hand. Color me impressed. Now I keep thinking of ways to save time by using Door Dash. Hit the gym and order beer on my way home? Doing it. For a limited time, use doordash. Having been to multiple tastings, I decided to start things off blind, having my daughter pour them into random glasses, noting which was which.
Each beer I believe has been packaged within weeks. Now, my first instinct was to see if I could tell which was which by sight and smell which is fairly obvious for Knuckle Sandwich KS being darker. The other two are similar in hue, one slightly clearer than the other. These glasses suck for actual beer evaluation, so I used my Sierra Nevada IPA glass for further analysis, rinsing and palate cleaning after each. Bootleggers Knuckle Sandwich: This release seems much different than previous with an overwhelming burnt sugar, caramel, perfumey character that rides over the hops.
The areas where KS win for me is appearance and mouthfeel. KS has a very pleasant foamy body chased by sweet beer and boozy finish. It seems more balanced to the malty side with this release and can taste a lot of residual sugar edit: my bottle settled out to 1. After one, I had a noticeable buzz but thought nothing of it. After my second pint, holy hell! I stumbled to grab the can and saw 9. Very glad I was at home! Lots of citrus, catty pine, some mango on the nose with some booze that lingers the hop oils on the palate for upwards of twenty seconds!
