Quiet Before The 'Cane, session notes from the Rogue.

Pullin' into a "mushie." Classic summer - warm waters, chill evening.
47th Street break, OCMD. 8/29/2019


















   First big 'Cane comin' from the Carib. Dorian. One to watch. Never know it by the other evening's conditions. Mushy break about thigh high or so. Serene surf. Didn't have to worry about breakin' on the beach. Nothing epic here. Just a few frontsides, a couple backsides. Water in lower 70s. Air in the lower 80s. Light ESE winds. Zen-like stoke to the sesh. Sure it will change soon.
   Blonde Ales seem boring to most. They're like the first "mainline brew" a craft brewery will have in it's lineup. Easiest maybe. In the summertime, "lawnmower style" is hard to beat. Especially if'n a growler is available. Or, a cheaper than normal sixer. Bring in the blondes. Named after a "crick" across the street, St. Michael's Eastern Shore Brewing put out Back Creek Blonde that fit the bill for a quickie two or three. Wanna chill out after a mellow surf? This one was it. Poured a pale, straw yellow with a two finger, white, fizzy head. Aromas of grains and a hint of hops. Tasted of light citrus and grass. Some malts. A dash of bitterness and tang in the finish. Refreshing... takes care of the humidity. It's simple. It's a blonde. Rated a C+/B-.
