Cannonball Run

Clear Lake Session Ale

Clear Lake Brewing Co.

4.8% Alcohol

“More refreshing than a cannonball off the cottage dock” the can says. At this time of year if I did a cannonball off the cottage dock they better have a defibrillator handy for when my cranky old heart stops due to the sudden full body freeze. But I know what they mean, and its not the first time I have been told to go jump in the lake.*

On the can is a picture of someone jumping into the lake, and I don’t think they are planning on a cannonball. It looks like this lake jumper is doing what we used to call a belly whacker.

Lucky for me, the ability to differentiate between a cannonball and a belly flop has no bearing on your ability to brew good beer.  This session ale poured nice and golden with minimal head, and was a nice refreshing ale, flavorful. For me it was a good solid ale, a notch above the big brewery ales. Nothing special, just a refreshing, flavorful ale.

*Editor’s Comment: I doubt it will be the last time either.
