Day 97: April 7, 2015
Diary entry:
Back to work. Another crunch time, with a number of looming deadlines, so got an early start.
Glad I did, managed to finish one assignment by 8:30 in the morning, which allowed me to focus on some other tasks that I needed to finish today as well.
Training classes the next two days, so I definitely wanted to get some of these off my plate before then. Even if it did mean staying in the office until well after 7 PM again.
The Beer:
Name: Vapeur en Folie
Style: Saison / Farmhouse Ale
Producer: Brasserie à Vapeur
Alcohol content: 8.0%
Bottle size: 0.33 l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent, Belgium
Vapeur en Folie by Brasserie A Vapeur, a steam-powered brewery in Belgium. Dark golden color with quite a bit of sediment. Interesting funky aroma, a bit musty. Flavor follows suit. If this wasn’t a Saison, I’d be worried. But it is, and by the time I let the beer warm up to the appropriate serving temperature (13 – 18 C), it was quite tasty!
