Scratchy Throat

I had another one of those fantastic days again. While feeling a little under the weather, I decided to sooth the throat with a little vitamin C, Cranberry Lambic. From Samuel Adams® website: "Samuel Adams® Cranberry Lambic is a fruit beer that draws its flavor not just from the cranberries it is brewed with, but also from the unique fermentation character imparted by the rare wild yeast strain. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness and reminiscent of cranberries and bananas, cloves and nutmeg. The yeast fermentation also will create a slight sourness on the sides of the palate, a signature of the original Lambic style which, with the subtle cereal note from the wheat malt, remind its drinker that, as fruity a beer as this is, it is still a beer."

It reminds me of Stoudts Triple.

Yesterday's ale was from Oregon. I think is was the American Amber. Life's too short. Work on those zen moments and let the good times roll. I think the beer is talking.
