2021 The Storm Cellar Dry Riesling

West Elks more

4/20/2024 - acyso wrote: 88 points

Dinner at Tiny Pine Bistro (Carbondale, CO): Probably some of the highest elevation riesling in the country. You definitely get a sense of that here -- the cool crispness of it, with intense minerality the way a Mosel feinherb can get. If there's a strike against this, it's that the midpalate feels light in that there isn't the same density as, say, Finger Lakes or Oregon. But this is certainly a unique expression of riesling all the same, and quite tasty at that.

Quite delicious and satisfying. The Peony Lane wines are not the last word in power, but they are quite inviting, feel well-made and likely a good expression of the unique terroir, and well-priced. I hope to buy more.

I found this to be quite delicious, with inviting light red fruit, light to medium-bodied. I find the Peony Lane wines to not have so much power, but they are attractive and expressive nonetheless and seem to be ideal for early drinking vs. Napa cabs. I like that the wine-maker is a bitcoiner and prefers bitcoin as payment too.

Best before 11th September; 5,8% alcohol. Medium to full bodied, smooth and off-dry, showing good citrus and grapefruit notes with gentle hoppy bitterness and light piney finish. This was really round and fruity for an IPA. A great quaff after the sauna.

Somewhat light in structure, but very pleasant and has some classic cab franc aspects. Not as rich as some from California, but quite approachable and inviting. Good value too.

NV Crooked Stave Juicy East New England Style IPA

Colorado Malt, Grain more

8/24/2023 - forceberry wrote: 88 points

An IPA double dry hopped with Azacca, Citra, Mosaic and Motueka. Canned 8th of November, 2022. 6,0% alcohol.

Cloudy peachy-orange color with a large and persistent white head. The nose feels characterful and somewhat sweet-toned with a slightly spicy nose of zesty citrus fruits and nectarine, some pine resin, a little bit of phenolic spice, light leesy notes of yeast, hints of something waxy with faint vanilla overtones and a touch of exotic fruit. The beer feels dry and balanced on the palate with a medium body and quite nuanced flavors of peach and something waxy, some phenolic spicy notes, a little bit of leesy character, light green notes of pine needles and a bitter hint of lemon pith. The carbonation feels very light, soft and mellow, whereas the hop bitterness feels modest at first, but it does grow a bit in intensity towards the aftertaste. The finish is mellow and medium-long with an aftertaste of apricots and mango-driven exotic fruits, some phenolic spicy tones, a little bit of sweet waxy character, light pine resin tones and a hint of pithy grapefruit bitterness.

A nice but also somewhat generic beer that feels more like a somewhat hazy IPA modest in hop bitterness rather than a true, exotic fruit bomb NEIPA. I wonder if this beer is brewed with a regular ale yeast, or - as it quite typical with Crooked Stave - with brettanomyces? The beer doesn't show any bretty funk, but it could explain those odd waxy tones and elevated levels of spicy phenolic character! Whatever the case, this was a pleasant and balanced IPA, but nothing that would blow socks off my feet. Pretty mundane for either an IPA or a NEIPA. Feels rather overpriced at 6,98€ for a 12 fl.oz. can.

Nose reminds me of banana bread, big baking spice vibes. The spice is surprisingly not too far overused but the fruit is deficient and the texture is quite viscous--simply overwhelming. An unfortunate bitter finish. I appreciate the style of what they were trying to do, but ultimately, it was unsuccessful, reminiscent of a renaissance fair drink with far too much cinnamon stick.

Still relatively tight at first opening when cold. Opened up nicely with some time and paired well with prime rib. Last glass, the next night, was much better balanced. Recommend decanting approx 1-2 hours ahead of pouring. We'll increase rate of bottle opening but expect these will be enjoyable for 8-10 years.

2/3/2024 - finlero Likes this wine: 91 points

Vibrant, clean ruby, easy to see through the glass. Almost Burgundian nose of cherry, licorice, barnyard. The youthful vibrance really leaps out on the palate, fairly acidic profile of wild strawberry and pie cherry. Long finish, low tannins, maybe a shade too hot for a 13.3%. Great with food. This would be a good bottle to serve to a mixed gathering of wine nerds and non-wine nerds; it's interesting without being weird or unapproachable. Drink or hold.
