Day 107: April 17, 2015
Diary entry:
Thank God It’s Friday!
What a week! So glad it’s over!
Or is it…
Thought I had a light schedule today, but turned out not to be the case. I was literally kept hopping all the way up until leaving the office at 5PM. And I had to leave at 5, as I needed to catch the train to Amsterdam to System of a Down live in concert! I missed them the last time they were in the area, and I wasn’t going to do so again this time! Found out about the concert on Monday, and managed to find a ticket for sale online that same day.
And the show?
Awesome!
My seats were pretty high up, but they were in the upper section closest to the band, so I did have a decent enough view.
And a bit of a contact high. I guess that’s a side-effect of going to an indoors concert in Amsterdam and sitting up near the ceiling…
The Beer:
Name: Double Joker DIPA
Style: Imperial / Double IPA
Producer: Williams Brothers Brewing Co.
Alcohol content: 8.3%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: EDEKA in Kleve, Germany
Double Joker Double IPA by Williams Bros Brewing Company. Hoppy, but a bit malty as well. Not my favorite IPA. Decent, but not one I’d choose again unless in a real pinch.
Commercial Description:
Devilishly Hoppy. Double Joker is a big, bold Scottish style double IPA: generously hopped, devilishly flavoursome.
