February 25 - Ok, so this beer made sense to me. It hit at my primal craft beer nerve. It sent my mind reeling with fantasies of walking through my own fields of barely like the scene in "The Gladiator." I could see my vines of hops high against the sky and their tendrals heavy laden with resiny cones. What? Yes honey I will pour you a glass too - back to reality. Today's devotional is dedicated to the Chatoe Rogue - First Growth OREgasmic Ale that is dedicated to farmers and fermenters who grow and brew their beer from seed to tap. I can see myself cultivating a patch of communal earth with other craft beer lovers and brewing barrels for local consumption. We need more of that knowledge and cooperation these days. But, alas I stray again. The ale poured gorgeoulsy into the glass leaving a shallow thick cream colored head that ringed the glass with each sip. Tipping back the glass cloudy orange amber ale glides across the tongue with the malty sweet taste of ripe sweet plums and leaves a lingering delightful mix of Willamette, Sterling, and First Growth Rouge Micro Hopyard Revolution Hops on the back of the tongue. If you swirrled the bottle when you poured the glass you will smell the Pacman yeast wafting up from the glass with the smell of fresh baked bread. Crisp and smooth this is a one in a series of Chatoe Rogue Ales. There is always a lesson on every Rogue from food pairings to the brewing specs. For more information about what is on the bottle and other varieties go to http://www.rogue.com/beers/beers.php there you will also see a list of spirits that Rogue is also producing for our enjoyment. I have yet to try the spirits but have heard on good authority from my friend Ryan that they are oustanding. I know that these spirits can be found at the Pier but will have to get back to you on which spirits are available. Day Three - drdredlockFriday, February 25, 2011
