casks

yikes -  very behind on my timely posts...
the cask last week at the railway was leann's candy dish
and it was delish!
tasted like a patio
and that wasn't just me saying so, i heard it echoed around!

i dunno what i was thinking, but somehow "candy dish' equaled peppermint or uber sweet in my mind
but it wasn't
not at all
it was fruity, and tart-sweet
it tasted like summer
like what you'd want to be drinking on a hot and sweaty patio
reminiscent of a fuzzy peach candy, but less sweet

the next cask is lundy's collaboration grapefruit ipa
thanks r&b for actually letting lundy help make it!

the whip was initially offering the vcbw cascadian dark ale cask on sunday afternoon
so i had me a pint
while the grapefruit ipa chilled to the right temperature

the vcbw cascadian dark ale

while maltier than i like a cda, it was most drinkable

the grapefruit ipa in the fridge

then i made the grave mistake of needing food

and not just any food...

i had jalapeno peppers on my taco salad

so i kinda blasted my palate before the grapefruit ipa was tapped

doh!

i did not enjoy this lovely cask to its fullest

everyone else seemed to be enjoying it immensely

i am bereft

i too wanted to enjoy it immensely

damned jalapenos!
