Well here we are bringing back beer Friday after a few absent weeks. Or so I think.. I feel like it's been a month or so but who knows. I don't want to scroll back because eveeevery time I do I find grammatical errors ant spelling mistakes in my old posts and I get annoyed at my lack of professionalism.
Ahh well, whatcha gonna do?
I did cancel today's planned after work ride. The heat is a bit much and I did spend a lot of time outside at work today and I'm fat and old so I might have a cardiac arrest on the trail somewhere and then die and where would the world be without Lonebiker?
My God! I could not imagine such a sad sucky world!
So here we are on the start of a four day weekend which doesn't get me too excited cause I am sadly used to seven glorious days.
From Victoria we have Driftwood Brewery who have an assortment of beers and if you are in the area they have a pub and patio which I would imagine in Victoria would be quite nice. Or who knows, it might be an absolute dump but based on the website these people seem to know what they are doing. I guess we will see in a minute *cue audience going 'ahhhh.'
We had the full crew in for the pour and this IPA poured a more golden and beautiful IPA that could rival the best Lagers around the world... well maybe I'm getting a little carried away.
Definitely more golden than most India Pale Ale's and rivals some fine lagers. It looked amazing but the high heat index has me looking at things like beer differently and that is a little disturbing. Was this orange golden sun Goddess a figment of my imagination or did it look that great? It had a nice hoppy smell to it. A hoppy smell that reminded me of being in the outdoors.
It was quite delicious and the hops were not overwhelming and of course with these new IPA standards there is no bitter hoppy aftertaste. I mean what the fuck man? There is some hoppy aftertaste and at seven percent it is a bit of a bad ass and I could see this one sneaking up on you if you are not careful. It does have a pine like taste to it reminding me of the outdoors.
One of the more delicious IPA's I have had kids.
This beer gets 4.5 suds out of 5.
