A Beer Drinker's Life: Super Bowl Edition

     A late start to my first beer, running around getting dinner ready, but still got it cracked open by the coin toss. Nugget Nectar, my absolute favorite, and it's delicious as always. Described by Troegs as an Imperial Amber but generally classified as an IPA. It pours a beautiful, clear burnt orange with a nice white head that casually fades to almost nothing. Aroma is tons of pine and sweet oranges. Taste is perfect. Piney, resiny, bursting with oranges, lots of bitterness from the hops but perfectly balanced by a sweet malt backbone. Truly world class; this is a beer that will satisfy many types of beer drinkers. Looking forward to drinking several more of these throughout the game!



     Quick first half breakdown: looking forward to seeing Kaepernick do something special but he gets limited opportunity through the first quarter. Meanwhile Flacco is pretty elusive and makes some good throws including the game's first touchdown. Baltimore leads 7-3 through the first quarter. Second quarter is dominated by Baltimore. San Francisco turns the ball over twice and goes into halftime down 21-6.

   I'll see you after the game with what hopes to be a more competitive showing from the Niners and another outstanding beer.

Drink On,

Dan
