I just wanted to explain that you and I joke about Flowery beer descriptions. There are "Detailed" beer evaluations and then there are "Flowery" beer descriptions. A 'Flowery" beer description is what you might read from the breweries PR people. It's not always an "EXACT" description of the beers flavors, nuances and character, but a description that describes a beer in it's best light.... maybe to increase sales production or possibly to entice the reader. Jesse's beer descriptions are not "Flowery," they are his honest gut descriptions of the beer flavor characters. An honest evaluation if you will. He's not using any hyped up corporate "Flowery" descriptions. I think Jesse has a great palate for beer evaluation..... although he could use for more flavor study and experience... ;-} I just didn't want readers to think I write FLOWERY beer reviews... ;-} I actually provide brutally honest beer evaulations... Keep up the great job Jesse! BTW, how much was each BW sample at the BW fest, Jesse?? Jesse,

I just didn’t want readers to think I write FLOWERY beer reviews… ;-} I actually provide brutally honest beer evaulations…

Keep up the great job Jesse!

Just when I thought I'd take a break, I end up at someone's house for a 5-year vert tasting of World Wide Stout, followed by a few others... and polished off w/ AVBC Brother David's Dubbel. That's barleywine, dangit. Damnit.
