Saturday started bright and early with Gary leaving for a work-related funeral. I had a meeting with a contractor about having our house resided. A trip to the gym ensued as did some tomfoolery. We started at Paramour in Wayne, Pennsylvania and ended up at Teresa’s Next Door -- go figure.
I’ll give kudos to Paramour - great beer list. You’ll be reading about a couple of their draughts this week.But for tonight, I’m reviewing Founder’s Blushing Monk -- a framboise ale. One sniff and I declared hella raspberries. It was poured into a flute. Very little head - what was there was pink and fluffy and dissipated quite quickly. There were hints of Earl Grey tea. This is a very fruit forward lambic. It was tangy with a tart finish. It finished with fruit and wasn’t the least bit bracing or dry.
What I would have loved to do with this one is pour it into a pint glass and drop a perfect scoop of very good vanilla ice cream into it…I imagine that would taste like raspberry flavored heaven!
On that note, I’m going to enjoy a lot of water and a Julia Roberts flick. Gary, on the other hand, is going to pour himself a bourbon and wonder why he let me pick the movie tonight. Ha. Marriage. Take that, G!
Cheers!
