sex and beer and rock and roll

When you see a beer called Sex Museum, there's no way you don't pick it up.  At least to get a look at the label, just in case there's ... a surprise.  Spoiler, there isn't, but still.  You'd think the name refers to an actual sex museum, since so many European cities seem to have one, but no.  There's a band called Sex Museum, and apparently they have been around for quite some time.  Good for them, they deserve a beer in that case.  They're not bad either, although I must admit I have heavier tastes in music.  I don't suppose Sex Museum Ale will be all that heavy either, just what you look for on a summer weekend.
Stay open to new angles!
It's an interesting orangey gold color, off-white head, slightly sweet smell.  There's a little bit of spice, to be expected from session beers.  Also as expected, there's that sour Belgian taste, right off the bat.  It's not too heavy, like lambics or abbey styles, but there's an unmistakable lightness that wafts over the tongue and right down the throat with a little twist.  It's not very flowery or perfumy, but I suppose that wouldn't actually go so well with the name.  It's a good pick-me-up beer on a warm night, so just what the season is starting to call for.  The spicy sourness is refreshing, staying light and crisp without any descent into stickiness or syrupiness.  Oh, how will I beat this during Beer Week?  And German films?  Surely, there will be a stout or two that catch my fancy.
Here's to everyone who's ever had disappointing sex!  So, to everyone!
