    A little fun Christmas fact, pre-Christianity December 25th was a pagan Holiday to celebrate the God of war. Cheers!

    If you could skate you wouldn't have to do leg days at the gym.

    No face paint, no pjs, no alien probing, and no cross dressing?!?!?

    You're right-this IS your greatest post yet!

    Amazing APA. Less than a month old pack picked up this week. Aromas and flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, and pine hops; with moderate toasted bread, light caramel malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body, and fairly crisp/clean finishing. Balanced bready/grainy malts and sticky/resinous/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Very refreshing for a pale ale, not overly aggressive. Amazingly juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced Citra hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness from lingering bitter dryness. Revisited the review recently. One of the best in the style I've had, even though my rating dropped by a large margin.

    I will be so fucking glad once the holidays are over and done with. Guess I got the worst behind me, trying to relax with some nice, high-ABV brews that I've had before and don't need to rate.

    White Elm Goliath, 13% ABV. Pours black with a one finger brown head. Nose is roast malt. Taste is roast malt, licorice, chocolate, and a moderate bitter close. Decent mouthfeel, overall excellent.
