Beer Review- A Peach Lambic

Greetings All my Loyal readers! I'm so sorry I have been gone so long. I cannot imagine what you two have been doing whilst I was away. I could make up a story about how I have been so busy getting a new job and making new plans, but honestly I have just been lazy. So for that I apologize, here is a cat pic to make up for it.

Now that we are friends again let's get to the reason why you are here. A beer review.

You are probably sitting there asking yourself, Lambic, what in curse word is that? Well per wiki

Unlike conventional ales and lagers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, lambic beer is produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are said to be native to the Zenne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavor: dry, vinous, and cidery, usually with a sour aftertaste.

This beer like the above box mentioned on a label how it was exposed to wild yeast instead of using cultivated yeast. However this beer was sweet. Quite sweet actually. It was very effervescent  with a nice head on it. It had an ok body, was not too flat, yet not too full either. This beer had a lot of peach flavor with a sweetness that was almost cloying. The Wife loved it. I found it drinkable but really found myself wishing it was a bit less sweet, it had next to no sour after taste. As far as alcohol content goes there is no label that tells you (likely due to the wild yeast) so most likely it can vary. This one was fairly light on the alcohol. 

I honestly would not recommend it for a beer drinker but would definitely say buy it for your girl or guy if they do not like beer but like sweet drinks.

My obsession

Finally the semi annual bath and Body Works sale is here! I had a chance to load up on all the perfume, lotion, shower gel and candles that I need to last me for another 6 months. Not to mention, a few gifts for others. Victoria's Secret is next! I need to get in there before all the good sales are gone. I am so excited. Shopping is divine!!

A future so bright!

Why do I feel so good? I think this new year has invigorated me. One beautiful winter morning deserves a beautiful cup of cocoa. Oh sure, it is my husbands personal mug but he is at work and I'm at home wrapped up in my cozy robe watching the dawn of a new day. I think it's going to be a beautiful year.
