In honor of Johnny's 37th birthday and Michele's 47th, we gathered at Fred's to sample a few birthday gifts. First up was the newest beer from Rogue. This is called Imperial Youngers Special Bitter (7.4%). This beer has an ass-kicking bottle, and it smelled right, but the taste was bland. Major props to the Rogue guys for their bottle, but the beer netted mixed reviews. Michele liked it, but the others thought it lacked something, namely a beer taste to match the cool bottle. It had a great sweet smell, with a funky aftertaste and rated a so/so. Next up was Rogue's signature pilsner, Morimoto (8.8%), possibly named after Japanese Iron Chef Morimoto-san. Another awesome bottle, white with Japanese kanji writing. Having lived in Japan, I am fluent in the language of our eastern yellow brethren, and I correctly interpreted it to say "Death to America". That said, the beer had an odd smell, but a better taste and rated a good. These bottles are great. We sometimes like to hurl bottles into the woods after really good meetings, and these bottles will sail with the best of them.

I have absolutely enjoyed and completely wet myself reading and laughing at your regaling in your beer exploits! You sound like you are having so much fun! Makes me sitting at home alone in my snuggie and boyshorts much less exciting in comparison! Keep it coming and I will keep on coming back! 8)~
