Day 234: August 22, 2015
Diary entry:
Ok, I’m sick and tired of being behind.
Even though the weather outside today was gorgeous, and every craving was telling me to get out there and enjoy the weather, I was determined to get caught up on these beer diary posts.
I spent the whole day writing posts and editing photos, and made a very good dent in the backlog.
I did have an opportunity to head out in the evening, but by then, I decided to just take it easy and save myself for tomorrow, where there’s another fun event on tap.
The Beer:
Name: The Politician
Style: Saison / Farmhouse IPA
Producer: Brouwerij Hof Ten Dormaal
Alcohol content: 7.5%
Bottle size: 0.375l
Purchased from: De Caigny in Essen, Belgium
The Politician by Brouwerij Hof ten Dormaal. Part of their Taste Lab Limited edition series. A saison ipa? Intriguing. And tasty! The aroma is more funk. The flavor a nice blend of funk and bitter, a little bit of sweet. I like it!
