| Got a cannon? Empty OC, Early January, 2013 |

| Nada...zip. |
My grandfather used to say that you could shoot a cannonball down the center of Coastal Highway during an Ocean City winter and not hit a thing. Even today, at times, a very true observation. The Atlantic flatties have been so bad this month, I believe one would be hard pressed on a longboard even. SUP time! Water's in the lower 40's. Not my bag. Get me about five, six degrees warmer, I'd go lookin' for a groove.
The now groove-line, Barrel Trolley Pale Ale No. 3. 5.3% ABV, 35 IBUs. Barrel Trolley brewing out of Novato, CA brews this English Pale reminiscent of the Prohibition days when "getting a beer was a clandestine process." Pours a cloudy amber with a light tan 2 finger head. Biscuit-like malt combines with a hoppiness that has traces of mint and the more prevalent pine in the taste and you can smell the familiar floral scent of the hops as you knock it back. A bitterness that is refreshing, but a bit dry in the finish. A better Pale than I've had for a while. Gave it a B rating. I'd do another.
