My entry for #beersaturday includes yet another Toppling classic; Scorpius Morchella. Before I get into this one too far, I'm just going to say I gave this one a 4.5/5.00 on Untappd. Yes, it's that good.

As you can see from this banged-up wrap, this is the brewery's spring beer. Who needs a maibock when you can have a double IPA at 7.8% ABV and 100 IBU? No morels, but the hazy DIPA was so tasty. With 80F temps and high humidity here, these went down very quickly yesterday.

Solid bubbly head, wonderful hop nose, and as always with these, no booze taste in the beer. Scarily easy to drink, but on a hot day like yesterday, I didn't complain. The hop bill is "top secret", of course, per Toppling, but I tasted some New Zeland in it.

No grilling yesterday on account of the high May heat, but we ended up doing some take out instead that was delicious too. I also picked up my first Lego Technic kit thanks to the helpful advice of galenkp@galenkp. I started it with our daughter earlier in the day, but couldn't stop tinkering around with it after she went to bed. I went ahead of finished the four-pack while finishing up the first phase of the kit. Legos and DIPAs. what a fantastic combo!

Don't worry...I double-checked my work this morning. Only one minor mess up, but we're in good shape again. Thanks to Hattie's help again this morning, we're on to phase two. With some luck, we'll be driving it around the backyard by June.

Thanks for checking this one out; happy spring to all. Hoping everyone had a great beer weekend too. One of these days, we'll get Hive meet up together in Iowa. I promise you all, we'll get there one of these days.
