nom nom nom…beer!
You know that Internet meme, “nom nom nom” generally reserved for something so good that you can’t help but eat it quickly and with much enthusiasm…think Cookie Monster from “Sesame Street” and his cookies.
There are two beers that you must try. Both from my favorite breweries.
First is Victory’s Whirlwind Wit beer. Light, crisp, citrusy, clean but very flavorful, it’s like a smoother, tastier version of Wiehenstephaner’s Kristallwiess beer. Victory’s brew is so good that yes, you can have it for breakfast. I thought that the Germans were nuts, drinking beer with their eggs, but this stuff is perfect after a rough night shift in the ED….beer and eggs!
Second is Anderson Valley’s Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema beer. I wasn’t too enthused by the description…how could a “copper colored ale” possibly be a good summer beer? And cream soda? Eurgh. But the label also mentioned that it was “lighter in body than its cousin” the Winter Solstice beer. Which is one of my favoritist beers ever. The summer version is now one of my other favoritist beers ever. It’s got, for lack of a better description, a silky feel and the Anderson Valley seasonal taste that’s unique to them. And the after taste has strong notes of vanilla and cream. It’s too bad that I have to work tomorrow. Otherwise I’d love to try another, and make sure that it’s really good….
I’m going out to buy a case of this stuff tomorrow. Cheers.
