Thank you.

Hey, it's me too here again.
|
|
On this episode we're diverging from my last podcast coffee and switching topics to
|
|
Wait for it.
|
|
Wait for it.
|
|
Beer.
|
|
Now, you might think to yourself, what the heck?
|
|
Beer?
|
|
I know.
|
|
I know.
|
|
It's so plebeian, right?
|
|
Well, I too used to think like that.
|
|
What with the shades of Budweiser, Mika Loeb, Iron Horse, Iroquois, Genesee, etc.
|
|
All Squapis, right?
|
|
I was raised on wines and cocktails, but over recent years, especially after listening
|
|
to many of you guys' podcast on beer making and drinking, I'd become interested in wanting
|
|
to try some of these artisan beers you've all been speaking of.
|
|
But being overseas in a foreign country, my chances of such are like a snowball's chance
|
|
in hell, or so I thought.
|
|
One came one night when I was on my way to teach a class at one of the local universities
|
|
and passed by a newly opened bar with a humorous name of nobody knows bar, where when I glanced
|
|
in the window and to my amazement, where many of the very beers you all had been talking
|
|
so much about, well, wow, here was my chance to partake.
|
|
So I went to class and that forward stopped into the bar.
|
|
So I tried a beer.
|
|
It just happened to be an IPA.
|
|
Now don't get me wrong, many, many years ago I had tried an IPA and found it far from
|
|
my liking.
|
|
So my first choice wouldn't have been an IPA, normally.
|
|
Again you ask, why did you choose an IPA this time?
|
|
Well, the reason was the bartender recommended it.
|
|
And again to my amazement, to coin a phrase, it was great.
|
|
I guess the reason for enjoying it over before is that as like everyone else, my taste buds
|
|
had changed.
|
|
And truthfully speaking, I've come to like IPAs over many others.
|
|
So to no longer digress, let me tell you what I chose and my opinions on the beer.
|
|
The beer, a 12 ounce, 8.2% alcohol by volume, glass bottle, laguenitas, brewing, laguentes,
|
|
unlimited release, maximus IPA, maximus ale.
|
|
I love the labeling.
|
|
It reads, life is uncertain, don't sip, also.
|
|
If some is good, more is better than one final one.
|
|
Instant gratification isn't fast enough, what a lark.
|
|
Enough dittily dattling onto the tasting.
|
|
The nose on this beer is crisp and light.
|
|
The first mouling brings a floral, fruity, semi-sweet taste.
|
|
The fructiness continues into the aftertaste, with an added semi-dryness.
|
|
And yet, despite the alcohol tatt, doesn't ring your clock.
|
|
The longer afterflavor is strongest on the underside of the back of the tongue.
|
|
Very pleasant.
|
|
So there you have it, my first beer tasting.
|
|
I hope you found it telling, and maybe you too will try a bottle.
|
|
I highly recommend it.
|
|
I will continue these tastings over the course of time.
|
|
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a sap.
|
|
And I still like my coffees, but I've found a new like, and it's artisan beers.
|
|
Until next time, this is me, too, signing out and wishing you happy trails and happy beers.
