Sorry for the completely spastic report out on the beer-cation. Today I'm rewinding to San Francisco and our stop at The Eagle Cafe on Pier 39. Pier 39 is a total tourist trap, but they have seafood restaurants and sea lions. So that's good.
Sidebar: I cannot for the life of me tell the difference between sea lions and harbor seals. Those gelatinous, slightly furry creatures to the right are sea lions.
The Eagle Cafe made one of the best fish sandwiches I have had in my life. It looked like any other fish sandwich, but tasted far superior. They also had cold, refreshing beer and I opted for Pyramid Brewing Company's hefeweizen.
It poured a hazy apricot color with a thick white head. It was very lemony in the nose and had general beer aroma. The flavor is lots of
wheat, light spice and a nice lemony tartness. My one complaint is that despite the typical hefeweizen flavors, it felt watery as I drank it. If it had more body, I would rate it better than average. But it didn't so average it is.
Cheers!
