8-Bit Pale Ale:
A love poem
by Jeff Gill
You're so very hoppy, that is true,
but also a well-balanced
flavorful brew.
I gaze at your hue, unfiltered and pale.
You are the cure for all the world's ales.
Your strong ivory head could stand for days.
Even Jim Koch himself would be amazed.
Your Aussie-hop scent pierces my nose.
At night I can smell it, it clings to my clothes.
I drink.
Behold! A Pale Ale and its name is 8-Bit!
Take head, you hop-heads, this is the...really good beer.
The taste is complex like the steps of a waltz.
The hops caressed tenderly by the maltz.
The hops take the lead.
Then the malt has its turn.
And it finishes up with the hops grand return.
I look at my glass with the lace running down
- PUSH START & CONTINUE -
Let's have the next round!
Cheers!
