Damn. Another HM2009 bites the dust
yep, you reckoned I probably couldn't hold out for the Northern Brewers and you were right.
I do feel a tad guilty, but on the other hand, very satisfied
A man after my own heart JT... one band said "everybody else is doing it so why can't we?" but I always said that HM will be a different style every year...
Yep, I struggled over this at the start but have now accepted HM2009 is history and time to let the legend be. I will however, one day, replicate the beer in my own brewhaus. Maybe a task to set for the Northern Brewers Spring release...
Found a stray bottle of my case swap Pink Frost in amongst a case of Nonces Revenge. Having determined that sexual abuse counseling wasn't required I'm now drinking it and rather enjoying it. Age has improved it methinks
Couple of beers with Martin Bridges last night. First up his mild, a beauty. Then his Belgian pale. I had to have another. Spectacular. Then he generously shared a bottle of Nerdherder with me as I'd not yet had it. We both thought B rather than D, either way YUM. Then a quick swig of his WBC Saison. Pretty flawless. You guys might be in trouble Saturday.
I went to a little place near my office for a meeting, and was pleasantly surprised. The beer came out of the tap, and I did not taste a number of different malts in it, but definitely tasted that distinct Sauvin flavor. Gorgeous.

Three Boys Golden Ale for me tonight also and I'm finding it a little metallic/bloody.
I've had quite a few of these over the past few weeks. I can appreciate the simple nature of this beer but I'm starting to find it a little lacking in the malt department and I think I need a break from Sauvin as a flavour & aroma hop. I'll stick with it for bittering though.
