Yet another Saturday waiting to be let loose...I say as if I ever ran around kicking up a fuss when there were no restrictions on movement and gatherings. The only thing that worries me much is getting my hands on good beer. Fortunately, there are a couple of places stepping up as "essential services", and historically hasn't that been a role played by beer? To brighten things up I have a Hazed New England Ale from Bad Co. A repeat Boston Tea Party is an idea that would please quite a few knuckleheads right now, and probably more than a few viruses.
It's about as bright and sunny as you can get, capped with a clean, white cloud of head. It says "hazed" but the beer is surprisingly clear. There's the twinkling citrus in the aroma, very light and chipper, just what you expect from the style. It packs quite a punch of of fruit, keeping to the citrus, but more bitter orange and grapefruit than sweet varieties. The scent might fool you into thinking it's a sweeter example, but there's a good floor of bitter in the taste, very traditionally beerish, a flavor that unassumingly delivers refreshment. After a bit a tingle of sour develops in the aftertaste, but doesn't go overboard. Now, my tiny tasting glass usually gets a refill or two, and this time the second fill was ... well
That's where all the haze went! The flavor is the same, I think, no extra hops or other things sticking out. It's also still a smooth drink, in spite of the cloudiness. No roughage in the feel at all. Maybe, just maybe, there is a slight dustiness, but it's hardly noticeable and I don't think I would even remark on it if the appearance of the beer hadn't changed so much. Still tasty and well worth a drink, would be even nicer in a beer garden, but we'll just have to wait a little longer for that.
