It's an odd kind of day, almost looks like it'll rain. But then it doesn't. All we get is overcast skies. Not fog either, but it's still a good situation for Fog Breaker IPA from Anchor. One would suppose that San Francisco would know how to deal with fog.
Now, that's a sinus clearing beer! I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but there's a definite feeling of cleanser. There's also the expected citrus and tropical fruit aromas, being an American IPA. It's a very bright and glowing yellow-orange; perhaps enough to clear away the fog, although I might expect a white light to do better. If the head was a little more penetrating it might do the job. The taste is an odd blend of many things at once: orange, grain, lemon, something bitter, something sour. It doesn't really evolve like some do, you get hit with everything in the first moments of your sip.
(Dammit, the piney cleaner cleaned out my picture taking memory again!)
Christmas and vacations are coming, although it seems like this whole year has been a vacation.
