Drinking some extras that a guy in Pittsburgh sent me in a beer trade between the two of us.

1 extra was a bottle of homebrew of his. The idea was Belgian witbier without wheat. Sort of a pointless idea and the beer itself proved pointless.

The other I'm drinking now is Newbold IPA from Philadelphia Brewing Co. It is weird. The hop flavors are all minty and spruce and tree bark and sap and oily. It isn't good.

I'm not complaining; these beers are just toss-ins. The actual trade was for some Great Lakes Blackout Stout and, more importantly, one of the 1,500 (yes, 1,500) bottles made of thr 2009 Gratitude Barleywine from East End Brewing.
