Day 96: April 6, 2015
Diary entry:
No work today, being Easter Monday here in the Netherlands.
Slept in, did a whole lot of nothing all morning.
Actually did run out in the afternoon to pick up a replacement lightbulb for the lamp in the living room. Major ambition there!
The weather was pretty decent, so I did spend some time out on the patio, which was nice.
And of course, addict that I am, I did spend a few hours working before making dinner.
The Beer:
Name: Witte Parel
Style: Witbier
Producer: Budelse Brouwerij B.V.
Alcohol content: 5.0%
Bottle size: 0.33 l
Purchased from: Albert Heijn in Boxtel
Witte Parel by Budelse Brouwerij. A standard wheat beer that’s available at the Albert Heijn. Not quite as good as the German Hefeweizens, but decent.
Commercial Description: The special yeast gives this organic wheat beer its nice characteristic turbidity. Coriander and citrus peel are responsible for the pleasant fruity scent and its fresh and soft taste.
