this isnt to that level, still got an awesome hop complexion and contributes something a little different, but the mouthfeel shows booze, residual sugar, and a harsh bitterness on the swallow, all of which i could do without. This game lets you get out all your inner frustration about your workplace by torturing your boss in different ways. the problem when beer gets this big is that its hard to control, proportions get all out of whack and the beer just seems big for the sake of being big. WHACK HIM, JUST WHACK HIM AS HARD AS YOU CAN. there is also a fair bit more grain character here, some sweetness attempting to balance, and a long more body for the hop oils to cling on to.
this one is a little more sharp around the edges than the 2x4, it hits me instantly with booze burn, and there are so much hops here that there is an almost caustic bitterness to the finish that overpowers the cool flavor profile they create earlier on.
So if the 2x4 is a quadruple pale ale, this is a quintuple? just foolish use of language here, really unhelpful and it comes across like a measuring contest, but again, at least the beer tastes good. Not quite as good as I remember, but close. Got dank resin, pine, Simcoe, tangerine rind, rubbing alcohol, Citra, Amarillo, orange, grapefruit and heaven. Later could taste that 12 percent though. Smelled dank resin, Simcoe, pine, tangerine rind, grapefruit, sugary Citra, Amarillo and orange creamsicle. Was dark in Hamilton’s as always, but this appeared to be a gold clear color with 1-to-2 fingers of off-white frothy head. Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang.” No idea of what hops were in it.

Anyway, saw the tap list ahead of time and knew that I wanted to have at least The Hop Shocker (Mosaic and Simcoe) and 4x8 once again. Best New Games Best games from last 2 months. Got there a bit later than I wanted to, which was probably a good thing since I got a Melvin glass (for ordering a 4x8) and a Melvin t-shirt. You enjoyed whack your boss, now its time to defend your home when an evil thief breaks in Can you find all ways to whack this creepy character games. Made the trip to International 2x4 Day at Hamilton’s Tavern to the second time in the last three years (also 2016).

Since I have decided to bring these pieces together under the rubric of The Horizontal Life - pieces that are so clearly disparate not only in genre, voice and style, but also geographically and thematically - I feel I must explain my purposes. The poetry that is sprinkled throughout belongs to Everything's a Verb, a completed poetry manuscript.

The fiction pieces about musicians are from Playing for the Door, my fictional exploration of seven very real years I spent on the road as a professional rock musician. The stories and essays about childhood, drawn from my own experiences growing up in a small town, belong to Grim Tales From Dinky Towns, a largely nonfictional manuscript that explores rurality and a child's yearning to escape. What you hold in your hands is a forced confluence: portions of three separate manuscripts - two prose and one poetry - which I have been working on concurrently during my time at Iowa State.
