Murky Start, from the Rogue's notes.

Pumpin' out every drop; making the most of the murk 'n chop. Holidays break, 6/21/2018.

   Been a murky start to Summer. Overcast on Solstice day. Rain. Cooler temps. Onshore nor'east winds. Always chops up the whole affair. Although a sediment filled foamy green, the Atlantic's water continued to warm. Up around 70F. Rubber top and trunks much better than a suit. Less rubber is always better. Getting out a couple times a week. Feelin' better. More relaxed on take-off. Think less. Surf more.
   Drink more...beer. Couple of brews to clear the murk. Ballast Point's Manta Ray, a Double IPA just full of melon, tangerine, and citrus aromas. Pine and tropical grapefruit tang in the taste. Poured a hazy, orange-gold with a two finger, fluffy, white head. A sharp bitter sweetness in the finish that was more mellow than the 70 IBUs would indicate. This one would sneak up on ya as an 8.5% alcohol brew will do. Ballast Point is consistent. Not the best DIPA I've had, but a very good one. Rated a B+.

Picked up the next one as a sharable for those who aren't big IPA'ers, however upon first sip, I liked it. Found it very refreshing. From the town too big for one state, Beach Break Apricot Wheat outta Delmar, Delaware's 3rd Wave Brewing. Poured a bubbly straw gold with a thin fast dissipating head. Brewed with 16 IBUs worth of hops from Oregon's Mt. Hood. A refreshing dry bitterness with light notes of juicy apple and apricot, light malt and zesty pepper in the taste. Definitive smell of apricots, clove, and spice. At 4.8% ABV, I had one, and another and another. Rated a B.
