Hey Todd, what did you do with Ringo.
If Todd is an absolute beauty the picture on the can doesn’t do him justice. He looks to me more like a Yellow Submarine stowaway than a movie star.
Those Refined Fools have whipped up this brew to pay tribute to Todd’s dashing and debonair disposition. Now I find myself the only judge at a pale ale beauty pageant. The beach wear competition was not Todd’s strong “suit”. But he stood out in his closing speech where he wished for everyone around the world just to sit around a huge campfire, that doesn’t contribute to global warming, and have a Refined Fool beer or two. I would have to agree that such an approach could contribute to world peace, at least until there is only one beer left in the cooler. 8 billion people fighting over the last Zane Lost His Avocado Bag could present a diplomacy issue that even Kissinger* would have struggled with.

Todd was first. The Editor came in second.
Definitely a beauty pour. A hazy yellow trophy golden shade, with a bright white tiara for the contestant’s head. Smells juicy and pillowy if such an attribute is detectable by olfactory perception. The taste is a nice tropical juice with a touch of floral and a faint tingle. Great mix with the balance leaning towards the fruit. I like that the juice is more prominent than the floral arrangement. Juice forward, faint fizz, with a floral flourish for a finish. The imbalance works to a T or any other letter of your choosing. Some would say well refined. A little more floral as it warmed but never too floral for my liking.
This is to confirm that Todd is an Absolute Beauty is one.
