The tough thing about drinking every day (my life is so hard) is the days that you really don’t want to imbibe. There are the obvious days (usually the day after a day when you consumed a wee bit too much), and the not so obvious ones (when your tongue just maybe needs a break).
And then there are the sick days. Thankfully, I don’t get sick much, but I got hit with a quick, nasty cold this week, one that caused me to spend the entirety of a Thursday watching Simpsons Season 7 from my living room couch, alternately napping, then waking to consume copious quantities of orange juice and herbal tea.
It was tempting to take a day off from beer tasting, but with almost 25% of the project complete, nothing will stop me now. I chose, as I do on hangover and “need a break days,” a lighter beer, and one I figured wouldn’t offer many challenging flavors. Usually I choose a light lager, and that’s what I thought this Dourada (Portuguese for “Golden”) would be. Instead, it’s a deliciously sweet, complex and interesting kolsch! Surprise!
