I'm not feeling very eloquent tonight. A few hours ago, we took Flash for his final trip to the vet. Cancer got him. Fuck cancer. Fuck human cancer. Fuck canine cancer. I would like to think I'll be able to eventually write something meaningful about how much I love that dog. For now, let's all remember him as the party animal he was...

I often called Flash the Velveteen Dachshund. Ironically we had a beer called Velvet Rooster in the fridge, which seemed appropriate for tonight's review. Velvet Rooster is a Belgian Style Triple brewed by Tallgrass Brewing Company. I think this may be the first and possibly only beer I get my hands on from Kansas. It poured a pale and cloudy shade of orange. It had a light head that left a bit of lacing. It smelled of citrus and hops. The taste was strong on the hops for me but I still enjoyed it (a rarity for me). It drank with mild spiciness and a fresh, green flavor. Overall, pretty tasty. Cheers!
