subcutaneous yarrow watermelon
open gush air sour
settle to malt hour
winsome thoughts
pitch
watermelon pulp
into white yarrow ale
tastes of yarrow smells of yarrow
under tongue and
side watermelon sneaks around the palette
pulpy body and yeasty
taken from over warm storage iced in freezer 25 minutes then pour
looks nice smells nice and tastes okay
will need to be brewed in tighter control of temperature

:Pull out thy copper cup Neptune:
another moon to sing with uncle Herbie Hancock {he now illuminates christmas tunes in San Diego dive bars}
another pint to pour fresh current to ruminate alternate

what Poseidon would shake the steps of Atlantis
as if haunted this brew circumvents (circumnavigates?)
oysters brine turned labor make stout make IPA make Maine oyster pin prick aft side
Despoine tilts her neck towards Athena
cheers & offers beers
with spear Athena declines turns saunters west serpentine
Despoine tilts long gone to the seven seas father's copper mug south to north and back again
{stout oyster hop}
HOP OYSteR stOUT
an alphabet of 8% from the fingertips of Nova Scotia
this water has an underbelly
KPW in a dress of ocean water rolls ill from coast to coast
dances in two to three steps hurricane beer monsoon

hints of raised palm mudra
or two moose looking interstate and turning lake
lungs dipped in chocolate malts
standard deviation two black chord in Dm
weather in gin chestnuts or uncle portside bailing us out with Finch beaks

Least not the best thought is wrought with doubt
Clap clap clap...close your eyes.
The synthesizer cannot grasp the proclamations within your soft subtle whimpers.
Pause....and for a second can you see it? Look.....
Bright. Serious. Complex. Full of shit. Spent it's last penny
My understanding is that I should tell you the high and lows of this malty sip.
First step...open...let The Lord of light cast his decomposition on the hot fermentation that has rested in silence for the revival
Step two...crystal stem. Slice systematically to specifications for optimal perfection. Drip...drip...down the glass driving feature come the presentation.
Step three...my own lips always have enjoyed the sound notes and cacophony of mad people. This one two speaks to my unused nature. Tones of heavy malts as well as a boozy spice to remind you that pirates still exist. The flavor is not fireworks and drunk "crunkles", but more balanced.
Step four...11 percent. Crashing on my front door has shook my house. Why do the giants come on Wednesdays although they know it sleep in. Like the sound of trees falling in the woods the crash through. Spring air flows through the hallways while dust flecks glitter through my bedroom window. I ask "what's going on?". Step in the moment sir...the hardest part of waking up, is the actuality that you were here the whole time.
Mine is Bigger Than Yours:To Øl:Barleywine
Raspberry milled phonographically tendrils red
sutures sweet as pieces of heart were heat an answer in bed
this Barleywine is willing to be beast
& crawl from corners in green crab jilted
weather steps from past in glacial taken places retaken
cutting Gaston upon all jugular points
sums of three hours twinned
oil circle pin
this brew takes my hands in twos to refresh
jesters how big is big and then breaks
orange candy over front tongue is thyme is Egret culling minnow to death in individual hop calling two parents communication spent over phone calls honey bee
14% to memorize bunk posts
glass walls moths drawn in
2am porcelain spider or without mesmerized grass disciple
to tell in sentences of Queen Anne's Lace respite
crushed thumbs need swan neck glasses to retreat
this is no gull making nonsense & WHITE upon spilled glacial remnant
shoes have been burned and saved here
this beer is consumed
in return there is crown of beach
rose cut with polyped shore
slow rain thrown rocks mulled morning restart

Buzzard's Bay Brewing: Horseneck Goldenipa
my flesh pours liquid into a cup
privileged as such
a hole in the eye of hop electorate
hints of violin
raw tongue macerating
my wife sunk in epsom salts
heady malts in pale recipe nonsense
flesh in flays
the horse neck bows green fiddle heads
two star outlaw tucks
i n gr in fo r next night terror
measured cufflinks never owned turnstile
curse in chain link
nonsense
this beer is solid 3.99
yellowing its bowed head
scents of spinster leaf & golden stream
make the well dry
where there is no tree to hide
stories of dirt
piles breathed in
unsure welcomes down grade into yarrow
the flesh of Main street will curse suture
eyes & strawberries
this beer is muggles splayed
monday morning
waiting for ammonia
a snapped in tongue

Homeless Ale #9 or Whakapapa
Ok
friends fans financiers felons and fidgetuers
airs of malt upon pour sublte easily missed florals
as a humming bird ---- did it pass me or a dragonfly--
scrubbing images of scents
not bold like Vincent .....soft as Henri
head flash false and quickly vanish...
premature
not 2 wks in bottle
clean bit foggy amber beep beep honey
wingless eyeless clouds less rain
good body (beach sight) weight
(as the song sings not too skinny and not to fat)
finishes with hops in retrograde to malt
yum

Nameless No.7 From Main Street Brewery
airs some bananas
when first bottled i thought egad schlitz
1.5 wks into maturity
full body wheat airs
malt of barley swells around the mouth
even balance no one falls off this beam
cloudy pours predict wheat yeast taste
not one to age yet
a month of sundays wont be too long
slight hop finishes the draught
hop bitterness lingers
served very cold and most flavor will be lost
served around 40 degrees Fahrenheit flavors and aromas will be set to utmost
appreciate this soon
foods.....
beer is sustenance, solids are additional treats from gods
meats and salads welcome all palates.

Narragansett Town Beach Imperial India Pale Ale
The title is a mouthful and so is the first sip.
Crushed up hops and Citrus flavors wave over the tongue.
Like standing in waist high water and having a 6 foot wave sweep over ya.
Stunned and a bit bewildered yet excited to catch the net wave/taste.
More hops and citrus.....airs of tree grove lemon......fresh fresh
Wonderful beer if you are into citrus front and hops lingering.
Served well chilled a perfect beach day beer.....also one to relax with after
wrestling a lawn mover across the greenery.....or a gate opener when meeting new neighbors...
Hi, have a 'gansett?
Cheers

catching up... Stone EPIC 12.12.12
some ties and weeks go by wicked fast
like lightening in a sunset sky
you see it but you're not sure
imagine the sky forked light
blue white streak earthward
just barely beyond elm st hill
trucks and cars wipers slash water and wind
shields puddles streets just nigh flooded
ambulances crush out from brick abodes
skateboarders push downhill
hydro-plane slide into 1/2 broke
/construct shelter
soaking wet laugh slough
into/upon corner store
ta cokes and cookies
idle away sun rainbow shower
it's over let's go
Epic 12.12.12
beer with spice
I have been tasting this beer for a while, since I first saw it on the shelves of local beer and ale purveyors.
I recall not welcoming this item as much as the previous Epics.
But...............
Tonight...Airs Spice right off....Oh God is this another pumpkin/winter/Christmas thing?
Nope ...the spice air gives out to a mouthful of flavor cinnamon clove spruce (?evergreen?) warmth.
There is a nice warm mouth feel that breeds in after the first sip. The slow cheek warming alcohol feel is welcome after the spices. (I almost expect an apple flavor...and then it would be my mother-in-law's apple pie.....which is the best apple pie i have EVER tasted....but that is a different review)
The spice lingers but never, ever becomes a stab at dessert.
The finish is fine and sharp and begs a second, third, etc sip.
The Christmas thing hides nearby, yet I sense the developing maturity of a spicy barleywine that will surprise in years to come.
I am off tomorrow to try and score a couple more bottles before they disappear.
