2016 Most Memorable Beer List--a list from YC (Singapore)

The year is nearing it's end but the list continues--this time a short list from YC --a geek friend who flown in with 3 other geeks from Singapore not long ago for sharing session/s with some of us here in KL.

We often hear of friends from down south drove in or flew in for food or visiting friends--but for craft beer sharing session? that's really rare. (though food is also part of "must do" agenda for the guys)

新加坡朋友驾车或飞过来找朋友/找美食，或至少为了让车子可以在大道上尽情奔驰是常有的事，不过，特意带着啤酒飞来吉隆坡跟我们几个啤迷分享就不是那么普通的事，这期的年度清单主人YC就是不久前跟3位朋友从新加坡过来分享了好些瓶子的啤迷之一。虽然肉骨茶/螃蟹/还有一些街头美食也是重点，不过，品酒会始终还是重中之重。

Here's the list from a guy who said he is slowly moving on to discover different "dimensions" from other alcoholic beverages :)

FiftyFifty Eclipse Elijah Craig 12yearold Bourbon BA

I had this bottle at a share with fellow beer lovers in TAPS bar Malaysia. It was the perfect balance of fudge, barrel char, vanilla with a medium body. I still recall how we built up the suspense for the session and matched schedules for this cross-border meet to work out. One of the best beer decisions this year.

这是在吉隆坡分享会喝到的瓶子--酒体适中, 充满木桶熏香,香草,奶糖的均衡黑啤, YC觉得为这次瓶子分享特意飞来是今年做过的最佳啤酒决定之一。

Sante Adairius Saison Bernice

Landed this in a trade with my friend Joe. It started with a typical belgian yeast spice before transiting to fuzzy peaches and tangerines. There was a nice tartness which didnt last too long. Having this at a share with some of the best people i met in beer made this a standout memory.

YC跟朋友交换的来的美国酸啤酒，带有类似桃和蜜桔口感，和通过啤酒认识的一些好朋友一起分享，记忆更深。

Evil Twin Maple Jesus.

This was one of the sweetest beers I've had. Normally, I stay away from sweet things as they make me cringe but for this beer, all the roasted malts and thick body worked well with the maple. My buddy Christian brought this back from his trip to the USA and shared with everybody who was stoked to have a taste of its potential. Paired with the best fried chicken in Chinatown.

这是另一位啤迷朋友从美国带回来的瓶子，是YC喝过感觉最甜的黑啤，平时不喜欢甜味食物的他，因为烤麦芽和浓郁酒体和枫树糖浆的融和，让这支黑啤变得美味--当时配着牛车水最好吃的炸鸡送酒。

Trillium Upper Case

Samuel brought a great stash of IPAs back and this stood out from an already stellar lineup. Sunshine in the mouth. I was speaking in the Upper Case after this.

也是啤迷朋友从美国带回来的当红酿坊IPA，喝着就像嘴里装满阳光。

Jester King El Cedro

It was an extremely lucky score from a bottle shop in Perth. A dry hopped Farmhouse ale aged on cedar spirals. This was a very grapefruit and creamy beer which shouts for the potential of cedar in hoppy beers.

很幸运在澳洲珀斯瓶子店找到的彬木桶陈农场风格啤酒，带柚子香的浓郁啤酒，让人看到彬木对“重啤酒花类”啤酒提味/的可塑性。
