Saturn, the Roman god of time and wealth. Sounds like an ancient Warren Buffet. Father of Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto (that’s Saturn, not Warren Buffet). And he got the coolest looking planet and the most fun day of the week named after him too (once again and just to be clear that’s Saturn, not Warren Buffet).
When it comes to the planets, Earth got water and oxygen, Saturn got rings. I’ll tell you one thing, if the missus was on Saturn there would be no rings that’s for sure. One planetary size bottle of Lysol later and those rings would be gone.* She likes to keep a clean ship, she does. I help out where I can and make sure I use a coaster for my samplings. Sorry Beyoncé, when it comes to our coffee table I like it but I’m not going to put a ring on it.*
The Rings of Saturn in question is a High Park Dry Hopped Hazy New England Style IPA. A bit hazy in pour mode, with a golden disposition. A camera-shy head failed to make a showing. An aroma of hops and fruit in equal measure. It has a smooth tropical fruit body with a bit of a bitter bite on the backend, tasty. As a great mathematician once said, be fruitful and multiply. Great fruit body with just the right hops bitters balance and finish. Hazy yes, juicy yes, tasty yes.
Full disclosure. Although I pride myself on unbiased reviews, the total dominance of the Habs by the Leafs last night may have provided a positive influence on this review.
I wouldn’t name a planet after this beer but it is pretty darn good.
