Slow And Painful, from the Rogue's notes.

An advantage to living near the beach. Offshore westwinds blowin' up chest plus A-frame ripples.

You just step right up, we got another fine day
Got a nice cool breeze, blow your cares away
Don't take much to have alot to say
Don't let the big one get away
We're livin' on a coastline.             -Sammy H.

   Cold, stiff, April. Night time in the lower 40's upper 30's. Warmer days. Then it rains. Sunny? The chill runs through it. We've had some streaks though. A few days here and there in the 70's. It's the temps at night that make the difference in ocean waters. Progress has been slow and painful. Still feelin' the upper 40's range. Not holding my breath for an April session. Which is too bad. Conditions have been consummate. Better days are comin'.
    East Coast to West Coast. Cans everywhere I look. So it seems. Back local, drinkin' East Coast local. A brewery that has been around coastal Delaware for a few years, Big Oyster Brewery recently moved out of a shared brew pub and into it's own barn in Lewes. It's flagship IPA, Hammerhead, is a juicy, 65 IBU hop grenade. Pours a golden orange with a finger and a half egg-white head. Aromas of mango and grapefruit with a strong resinous-citrus taste. At 6.3% ABV, very smooth going down. Had a 4-pack, drinkin' two at a time. Chillaxin' brew. Rated an A-.

    Next in line was a West Coast style Pale Ale. Fit right in to mooding-up into the surf season. Ripper, a deep, hazy, amber tag-line to what shreddin' swell is all about, Stone Brewing promotes the San Diego surf style with 40 IBUs of Australian and PAC NW hop cones dry-hopping to achieve the way of the West (coast). Sessionable at 5.7%, this brew had slow dissipating lacing from a big, 2+ finger,  tannish-white head. Piney resin up front with slight malt tones that gave way to a citrousy, grapefruit, bitter finish. Don't drink before I surf (no need to add to the Kook), but if I did, I'd drink this one. Rated a B+/A-.
