225: Kiwanda Cream Ale

Now, that is a picture of summer in Oregon. Please allow me to break it down for you.

1. Fresh cherries, two kinds: Bing and Rainier, both from the farmer’s market, and probably the best cherries money can buy.
2. BLT. Normally at this time of year the B, L, and T would all be local to our backyard nanofarm, but today only the lettuce (and basil) are farm-fresh. We’ve had a slow summer, and tomatoes are now on the vine, but still quite green. And I have a pork belly in the freezer, but I haven’t baconized it yet.
3. Pelican Cream Ale. Think of a delicious, hoppy pilsner, with the creamy body of Boddington’s Ale, and the sweetness of … well, vanilla cake.

Quite a trio.

Notes: Wow, so clear! Big, rocky, lacy head. Smells biscuit-y, or maybe saltine cracker aroma. Vanilla cake flavor, or Boston cream pie cream, with dry, somewhat harsh burn.
