eleventhly

On the first day of Beermas I went and bought for me
A bird dropping beads on the street
Two turtledoves
Three Belgian roosters
Four birds calling for blood
Five rolling blings
Six geese parading
Seven mermaids bird flipping
8 breakfasts steaming
Nine drinkers dancing
Ten boars a-drinking
Eleven pipers charming

After many frustrated searches the snake popped up like magic.  While some might not call the instrument a pipe, it's close enough for me, especially considering what medieval pipes tended to be like.  White Mamba from Two Chefs Brewing looks like a light note to close out my Beermas, even with one day left.  It's a witbier, something shiny and bright for the new year.
Light straw yellow color, bright white head, and tangy citrus aroma.  The taste matches quite closely, with a hint of bitter under an orange fuzz.  At first it feels pretty light, but grows in body with time.  Doesn't get to an explosive point, though, staying smooth and easy drinking.  It's supposed to be strong on the flavor, but I think I've had stronger ones.  Still, it's cuddly and a little thrashy, like the happy snake on the front.
