On the road out east. We drove from Mpls to Cleveland today. Long day and we're both hungry. Having pizza and a Great Lakes Dortmunder at a place near our hotel. On to the Finger Lakes region of NY tomorrow. Staying at an AirBnB there for 5 nights. Hope to meet up with @pshankstar for a brew!

It's been a while since I use to regularly work travel to Cleveland but a great place for German bars. Most are in the southwest area. I think it was Sachsenheim Hall that I really liked. Lots of fresh German lagers on draft 🤤

And Mitchell's Ice Cream is a must hit if you're not in a pizza coma by now :)
 
Onto the West Coast IPA debacle. Pint out of the fermenter. So pitching S-05 definitely helped with the too sweet issue. Dropped it from 1.030 to 1.018. ABV©7.8%ish. I had added the hop oil "3Cs" prior to this though. I've had a ton of old school WCIPAs and this hop profile fits it. I'm getting an almost smoky off flavor but I know it's not chlorine components.

I have no interest in keeping it on tap so one and done but happy for the progress made from the attempted "fix".

Golden Monkey tripel from Victory brewing. I've never tried it before, and after this 6-pack I doubt I will buy it again; it's too sweet. It also has too much banana and what I think is coriander but I'm not sure, but the sweetness is the real turnoff. The clove is nice. For the same price I can get a 4-pack of LaChouffe. I might try mixing the next bottle with a can of Hamm's to tone it down a little.
