Now that the s***ty, not skunked, SNPA has made its way out of Birmingham, AL, I am reunited with my hoppy friend. At any rate, I have drastically cut back on the cigars of late and so I think my sense of taste is coming back into shape. As such, I have noticed something I never noticed in drinking SNPA for the better part of ten years now: an after taste with strong hints of apple. I am not a beer snob, I wouldn't know a cascade hop in the wild from a wet chicken, the gravity of this or the malt content of that, or even if beer is still brewed by magic gnomes in the short forest, but I know that I taste those apples. What do you think?
Regards,
Ben
