Save our Shore. This is a pilsner by Abita that also benefits the gulf coast region. I liked the way it started, but it finished a little odd, not quite as crisp as I expected. I can't quite explain it, but it finished a little tangy. However, others loved it, so check it out.

Flemish sour ale

About three years ago I discovered Flemish sour ales. And I liked them. This is a limited edition sour ale by Ommegang. I really like this ale. If you can find it, try it!

So, we set off for a fun day of apple picking in rural Wisconsin just across the border. Unfortunately, I was in charge of the directions and I was under the weather. We missed the turn and ended up in Wisconsin. We turned around and went back into IL, found the right turn and headed west for ten miles before heading into Wisconsin. No more apples, but we went into the pumpkin patch and picked pumpkins. Then we went to a liquor store and tried to buy new glarus. No luck. He directed us south a few miles. Unbeknownst to us, we ended up back in IL. No new glarus. Back a few miles into WI for a case. Finally. I got one bock. It is nice and malty. Finished pretty crisply. Not a lot of aftertaste. But a little short on flavor for a new glarus. Overall, ok. But I expected more.
