Day 55: February 24, 2015
Diary entry:
Last day of work before my trip. A long work session all day, 9 til 5. Quite a good session though, with some good results. I wish all meetings went as well as this one.
Then came my most favorite part of any trip. Packing! I do love packing. It ranks right up there with a root canal or a kidney stone. Well, ok, I’ve never had either of those, but I imagine they’re about as much fun as packing. The only good thing about packing is knowing that it means you’re about to leave on a trip.
The Beer:
Name: Kersepit
Style: Kriek Fruit Beer
Producer: Kasparus Bierbrouwerij
Alcohol content: 5.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: Part of the birthday 12-pack I received back in December
The last of the beers from my birthday 12-pack. Kersepit by Kasparus Bierbrouwerij. A cherry beer, kersenbier, I don’e believe a kriek lambic. 5% ABV. Poured a nice red, similar to some of the krieks from Brussels. A semi-decent sour base. The fruit seems to be more of a syrup than real fruit to me, but not overly sweet. Still very drinkable.
