It’s art appreciation day at COMDB with this Miami NEIPA. And we certainly do appreciate Collective Arts and their contribution to the cranky old brew review gallery. There was Peak to Peak which made a valid point (or two). Then there was Chroma Chromatic, a colourful name to be sure. Those and many more grace our cranky old halls and walls.
Uh oh. Santa’s already has a pinkish glow. 3rd degree burn potential.
Today on exhibition we have Beach Haze with Santa taking some well-deserved sand and sun R&R with his RV. Here’s hoping he has applied an appropriate amount and strength of sunscreen. We would suggest a paint roller application with an SPF of about 1000 for his North Pole white as snow epidermal. * Anything less and we’re talking arctic char.
I’m your craft curator today here to determine whether this piece will make it to the super suds section of the gallery. A poor pour or one to adore. Miami nice or Miami vice.
A solid haze of sand coloured craft, an orange Julius of a pour. Some breakers, a bit of surf. A hoppy citrus aroma with some other fruit in there too. First taste is hoppy citrus taste with some tropical fruit adding a bit of funk with a slight bitter finish Not a pine tree or pine bough bitter, maybe a pine cone bitter. It is busy, complex, and like many of us searching for clarity in a hazy crazy world. At times the citrus seems to be at odds with the funk in the trunk. It is a nice combination despite some internal strife
When it comes to art there is no accounting for taste, but when it comes to beer it doesn’t matter whether it’s in good taste, as long as it tastes good. **
*Editor’s Comment: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. The SPF rating indicates the time it would take to redden or burn compared to the time it would take without sunscreen. If it takes ten minutes to burn without sunscreen than an SPF of 30 would protect you for 300 minutes. So if it took Santa’s lily white torso 1 minute to burn, than an SPF of 1000 would protect him for almost 17 hours in case he fell asleep in his chair. However the highest SPF you can buy is 100, which provides minimal more protection that 30 or 50 in most circumstances.
**Editor’s Comment: You are best to leave such philosophical observations to Flying Monkeys.
