That's just redundant!



Speaking of beer,

We opened the bottle of Samuel Adams Utopias Friday night. Unusual to say
the least, but very, very good.
Hard to describe it. It has a very faint taste of beer, but it's probably
only because of the hops.
It's almost as good to just to hold the glass under your nose and sniff it
as it is to drink it. The aroma is fantastic. Only had about an oz. or
so, but that was all you needed to enjoy it. Not sweet, not bitter and
smooth as silk. I've had some good brandy and cognac in the past, but this
was different.

Looking forward to the next time.

As you should. I'm trying to figure it out.
How long does it last after being opened?
Does it make a head?
Where can I get some?
A case!

No head. Not carbonated. Lasts for at least 10 years according to Samuel
Adams. (They recommend keeping it refrigerated after opening, but serve it
at room temp.)

A case of 24 will run you $3,600. (currently $150 per bottle) But the good
news is that the bottle is 24 oz.

Hehe. I'd love to taste it, but think I'll stick with the foamy stuff
for now.
