Nothing better to start the first weekend of the year than - by combination of sheer coincidence and perfect timing, spending it with some DC2 Integra and JDM owners at Tsim Tsa Tsui. We hit the ground running in January straight out of 2020. So as we prepare to turn the page to another year, let’s look back at what I, Asher, and Davis have been up to over the past twelve months. When you stand back and reflect, despite two of us being unable to travel freely - we have done quite a lot for 2021. It is yet another time for us to reflect on what I - Asher - and our still fresh addition Davis have been getting up to for the past twelve months. Hence, the silence these past few weeks from my end: I'm still recouping after a few back to back weekends.(More on that later.maybe?)īut this being the end of the year, I couldn’t forget to prepare the annual year in review.
At least for me, it's to a point by which I’ve been too busy to even write about them here as blog features, as much as I want to describe what exciting things I’ve been up to.Įspecially when it involves you cosplaying for the first time ever, while attending the last ACG convention in Hong Kong of the year. Like: a lot of things we’ve done, both involving the blog/brand and outside of our regular automotive content. Boy: has it been quite a packed and productive year for us.Īnd when I mean a lot, I mean a lot. If you’re a regular follower of myself or HiddenPalmTree, chances are you have seen what we have been getting up to on our respective socials. Though now we are lining up to get vaccines (or boosters to prepare for ‘that’ variant I myself will need to plan getting mine next month). Aka a certain pandemic is still amidst us. Well, apart from one elephant in the room. Things are a little different now than they were a year ago. I'd buy this if it was for sale around these parts.And just like that - we have come to the end of yet another year. It's a well crafted beverage from the initial look to the potent nose to the multi layered flavor profile to the cushy, yet bitter, dry body to the immense drinkability. One Thing Led to Another is my first Beer'd beer. A welcomed dry finish wraps this guy up and extends that lingering bitterness. There's a bitterness that builds and eventually settles at sturdy. As it works through it lightens up and becomes airy on the swallow. This guy has a good pillowy body off the bat, there's weight but it's plush and soft. This is all over the top of a bready malt base that shows some depth with a drizzle of caramel sweetness. That herbal note lingers long on the finish. Peppery underripe mango and soft guava make up the middle with a quick flash of pineapple all with an herbal mustiness that's extremely complimentary. It's more lime forward than the other two mentioned above. A soft earthiness surrounds the body adding depth. The malt base has a nice presence, bread crust and sugar cookie driven. There's a whisper of ripe pineapple as well. This lays down the foundation before a musty tropical note washes through in the form of guava and underripe mango. A good dose of candied citrus peel gets things moving, orange and grapefruit and lime.
This beer looks like it's ready to be drank. Pure white and bulbous, after a few minutes fading to a chunky cap and leaving near sheet lacing in it's wake. The head is the most impressive aspect of the whole look. The body itself has good clarity with just a touch of haze throughout. Bright, polished golden with streams of carbonation crawling up through the body. This one here comes courtesy of Patrick, thanks dude! That's a mighty fine looking beverage. A wishy-washy experiment, that I wouldn't mind throwing together.
Overall, Its seriously enjoyable on many levels but misses in the bold hop complexity and overall mouthfeel. A bit light in the hop complexity with some very nice aspects making a big splash but not blending well. Dry orange rind and earthy dirt blends with the very light, golden and grainy style malt base. The first sip seems pretty light and crisp, but then juicy and only slightly dry in the finish and a bit to relaxed.you might call it smooth(?)Ī sour white grape hop taste happens first, then its a blend of mango, banana and dry earthy tones. A fine hoppy nose.Ī light to medium bodied feel, a bit loosy-goosy, with a dull and watery effect. The malt is very subtle, but kicks in with light, dried wheat, hay and oats. Mango, ripe peach, vanilla extract, sweet citrus and crushed white grapes. The hop aroma is very interesting, lush tropical fruits from the Citra, Mosiac and Idaho7 varieties. White foam topping.creamy and dense, slow dissipation leaves only a bit of cover and nice lacing. Canned on 1/4/19 opened on 1/31/19 "ya da ya da yada"Ī slight white haze to the straw-gold color.
