beer tasting
i love my busy life! it does make it hard to make longer posts in a timely fashion though! craft beer tasting at firefly on july 20th was amazing! and not just because they let us sample the tactical nuclear penguin! (omg - i got to try the tnp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) we began the evening again with a kokanee - just to make sure that everyone knew the difference between the craft brews (aka good beer) and the mass market offerings (aka piss). so almost first up was r&b's red devil pale ale. english style pale ale - not a red or amber ale despite its red colour "hoppy floral aroma and malty sweetness, which are followed by a slightly dry and very refreshing finish." i especially love this one for its colour - beautifully coppery and clear; good head and carbonation; fabulous hop and malt balance, but maltier than other pale ales: totally tasty stuff! and what a great label! moving along, next we sampled the wells bombardier ale an english style ale. ...
