Sharks on the beach?* Black Bellows is another fine Collingwood based crafter. Collingwood is known for its snow skiing but also has lots of rock beaches, and a major sand beach, that being Wasaga. So we have a land shark with a build like a young Arnold as Conan (the barbarian not the talk show host) flexing on Wasaga beach.
This muscle beach shark reminded me of my kids a few years ago starting the Beach Body program. Exercise, sweating, watching what you eat, are all things that certainly don’t fit my lifestyle. So I developed a program for the rest of us, the Beach Ball Program™. I did my research and found out that muscle is denser than fat, so a pound of muscle is heavier than a pound of fat, right?** So if I eat what I want (chips and dip) and drink what I want (craft beer) and do what I want (not exercising) and gradually replace muscle with fat I should lose or at least maintain my present body weight. I don’t need much muscle to pull in a 4 pound bass now do I.*** So far my program has been working out, and I haven’t. I am digressing.
This pale ale poured lemonade yellow with a bright white beach head. A fresh but mild hop and fruit aroma, not citrus but I couldn’t place the fruit. The first swig followed suit, crisp, mild flavours, mild hops. No bitter in the finish, just crisp. The fruit isn’t citrus, melon maybe? I wasn’t able to identify it until I read the can, strawberry! Great job in putting in just a touch, and I wouldn’t think it would work but it does.
This is an easy drinking crisp minimal hops mild fruit pale ale. Very refreshing, ideal for a hot day BBQ session.
