| Cerebral day on the Right Coast. Holiday's & 66th, 7/24/2020. |
Week or so without a ride. Began feeling the pull. Decided to head out for a Friday sesh with the Wife. Set up at Holiday's. Beach was more crowded than the break. Water now well into the mid-70's. Small right breakin' curlers. Semi-clean. Slight bump. Managed to churn through quite a few including a long drive that had me damn near draggin' my skeg along the sand. Even though we've had the humidity set in, the on-shore winds created a comfortable stage for both observation from the sand, and stoke on the water.

Earlier on, my Wife had done some groceries shopping and brought home a couple of winning New Your Strips. 'Lil turf with the surf. Ready for that. Hank Rub...my new favorite all-around. Drizzled some Olivins Espresso Balsamic oil. Some pepper, some garlic herb. And then...a liberal amount of Hanks. Both sides. Pat 'em down and lay 'em on a hot grill. Some bad-ass steaks to top off an outstanding session. Add our Eastern Sho' sweet corn, and beer. Divine...like the beer that was paired with it. Union Craft Brewing outta Baldamore (Baltimore). Divine IPA. 6.5% ABV. Fizzy, near 2-finger, bubbly, white head from the clear amber-gold pour. Boatloads of grapefruity hop aromas. Dank- some pine. Hint of hop florals. Resinous taste with plenty of mango and citrus. Juiciness in each swig. As hopped as this was, even at 50 IBUs, not an overly bitter finish. Kinda silky going down. Had a sixer. This is one that tasted better with each can. Add the 'Strip steak...rated a B+/A-.
