How Slow Slow Can You Go Go

Slow Slow

Slake Brewing Co.

6.5% Alcohol

Stoner Sloth Delilah “I’m too hazy to stop being lazy.”

How slow slow can you go go, don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. *  How about as slow as a slo-mo snail.** Or as slow as a stoner sloth.***  Fonger didn’t much care for that simile, I think he said “I resemble that remark.”  Foghat recommended making it a slow ride, taking it easy and making it last all night. How slow can you go is a question usually answered when you’re seeing red stuck behind a blue haired driver in a white out.  How about slow squared as in Slake’s Slow Slow, the subject of today’s brew review.

We have sampled a few Slakes in our day. We tried on some amber Long Sleeves, and debated the chicken or egg first conundrum while drinking a lemony Hatch. Time to slow things down a bit.

A heady situation.

This Slow Slow was a slow go due to an overflow. A thick sky dome of foam was a heady experience that delayed the inevitable. Some citrus and hops on the nose through the foam fest. First quaff through the froth is a citrus funky fizz with mild bitters on the finish and in the aftertaste. It is a quite alright citrus hops combo. A classic citrus IPA with a nice soft mouthfeel. Very easy drinking, Slow Slow went down fast fast.

*Editor’s Comment: Wham! had a 1984 hit with the song "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" written by bandmates George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.

**Editor’s Comment: Snails move at a rate of about 0.03 miles per hour. Slow motion filming can vary depending on a number of factors but for a video shot at 240 frames per second it would be considered "slow-mo" when played back at a standard 30 frames per second, resulting in a playback speed roughly 8 times slower than normal. So a slo-mo snail would be travelling at 0.00375 miles per hour.

***Editor's Comment: Stoner Sloth was an anti-marijuana ad campaign in Australia in 2015. In the ads normal people are interacting while a stoned sloth is moving slowly and moaning, much to everyone else’s disgust. The ads didn’t go over well and even the National Cannabis Prevention Centre didn’t approve.
