Kona Brewing Company's Pipeline Porter

This is some pretty good shit even if you aren't a fan of porters. It's a good session beer (especially for a porter), smooth with lots of malt flavor and a nice balance of hops to round out the 100% Hawaiian Kona coffee. Chocolate, roasted coffee and malts dominant the taste and make for a great porter that you won't have to fear buying a 6-pack of.

RATING: 79%

What's a session beer?

Chris said...

It's what Budweiser markets as "drinkability".

laurie said...

That "explanation" made me even more confused.

Chris said...

It's a word used to define a beer (typically) lower than 5% ABV with a nice balance of malts and hops that allows one to drink several in one sitting.

John said...

Yes it does.

laurie said...

Oh I get it...session. WORD.

Great review, Chris. I think I'll buy a 6-pack of this for the ice box in the ass cabin when it's my weekend again.

Chris said...

If I had an ass cabin I'd require everyone on the lease to do it doggy-style.

LoCo said...

How would you check up on that stipulation?

Chris said...

Circle of trust.

Well isn't it nice that we all know Chris's favorite sex position now.

Chris said...

It's a control thing.

Dirk said...

Ass cabin? Doggy-style? I'm clearly way out of the loop, but even without knowing anymore I'm so ready to sign that lease!

laurie said...

Hot.

@Dirk: Ass cabin is an inside joke from the R3 party. I'll explain next time I see you. We're not going to act anything out, tho, so don't get any wild ideas.

Chris said...

Speak for yourself, Laurie.

I think Viking Andrew was completely serious.

laurie said...

Chris: Do you mean because I said it was a "joke"?

Chris said...

No, because you said no one was going to act anything out.

laurie said...

Oh I just meant Dirk and I weren't going to act anything out. I have complete faith in Andrew and his ass cabin.
