Gimme Some Green, notes from the Rogue

Gimme a green shimmering wall.  Gimme swell! Malibus 3/25/2013

Brave feelin' the chill.

    I'd like to say I'm squeezin' a few out this Easter.  Not gonna happen.  Water still in the lower 40's.  Air still in the upper 40's. Not conducive to my optimum temperatures required...even with a 5/4 suit.  At least the air could warm up on a more consistent note.  Nope. Snow and sleet this week...Again!  F*#k I'm tired of this relentless Lion of March. Bring on the Lamb!

   I've been finishing this six since St. Paddy's Day. Used it to crock my corned beef with.  Awesome.  And by itself, Money.  Troegs' Nugget Nectar... a hopped up Amber beer, spot on for this time of year.  Call it a Amber, call it a Red, call it an IPA.  Don't care. Five types of Hops including Tomahawk, Warrior, and Simcoe.  Three types of Malts. This one screams "Drink Me!" Nice lacing, 1 finger head. Tastes of citrus and pine up front with a smooth malty finish. The 93 IBUs are deceiving with the malt backbone. 7.5% ABV requires care in quantity drinkability.  Gave it every bit of an A.

movin' cold front... His beer was 

warmer than the look in her eyes."
