TLDR: don't be afraid to quaff a warm sidecar. I wouldn't say it's a must for every experimenter, but it did open my eyes to a world of unexpected similar flavors.

My wife commonly pops up with something and has two sips, and quickly passes me the goblet to enjoy the middles and ends.

Tonight was Sierra Nevada's SideCar. It was also blissfully warm, as she'd totally forgotten about it during our Dr. Who of the night.

Here is my warm Tuesday^^TM review of the bottled.

• H 4/5, white, foamy, inviting and pillowy. It holds back the joy to come.
• C 4/5, great contrast between the head and body, the bubbles quickly climb the glass to join the head.
• S 3/5, very mild, sweet and underwhelming.
• T 4/5, sweet, and immediately switching to citris peel, slightly hoppy, but not in any hyperintense way.
• B 3.5/5, light and poppy, good for a night out or a chance to relax in. The taste sticks, and if not washed the peel shines through.
• Texture 3/5, oily, and persists.
• O 3.5/5 I like it! Wouldn't mind this in a bar, but I'm pretty new to the game.

Pretty cute for a first review.

I'm heading over to my local beer store (Tower in Atlanta) and they usually have a pretty solid selection of beer. Has anyone recently tried anything great that they absolutely recommend? The last time I was there I was close to getting a Ballast Point (Victory At Sea), but ended up going for an Ommegang Three Eyed Raven and a Lagunitas West-ified Imperial Coffee Stout.

Thanks in advance if anyone actually reads this!
