Tom Thomson, Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park 1916
Something in the Water is once again inviting us to drink curiously with Painted Lake, which they tell us is a tribute to the great Canadian artist Tom Thomson, the artistry, the tragedy and the mystery. * Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park was the subject of many of his paintings, but on July 8, 1917 it was the site of his demise. Death on a painted lake. How we go from this sad tale to this light and cheery brew is all part of the curious drinking process I guess. And there is something in the water for sure, as in a peach, or a basket of peaches, or a bushel. We’re talking peachy.
Full disclosure, during a visit to the SITW Kingston location I became a member of the Curious Club. Once I got home the following discussion ensued.
Me: I’m now an official member of the Curious Club.
Department of Morality: Sounds like a kinky strip joint. Were you out with Farmer Steve again?
Back to the craft at hand. Too peachy, peachy keen, or the pits? Time to sample this peach parfait of a pint.
A mist of a bright white head adorns a clear golden pour. A peach sour aroma, it does smell like those sour peach rings the grandkids won’t share. I guess I just got my own. The taste is very juicy just right peachy, and middlin’ sour tart with a slightly sour sweet aftertaste? I’m not quite sure how they do that but I’m glad they do, tastes great.
This is light refreshing and peachy keen. It has a bit of fizz, and a bit of tart, or is that the crisp? This sour is very easy drinking and delicious.
Just the right mix of everything for a great summer something by the lake from Something in the Water. Forget the champagne and orange juice, Mimosas are so 90’s. This is your new brunch crushable.
