We took the Max from our hotel to Rose's Deli on 23rd for breakfast, then went up to Washington park and hiked back down. Lunch, coffee, some shopping, etc all occurred as the temps rose towards 90f. Since the humidity was low it was quite comfortable. We were going to get sushi for dinner, but ended up at Typhoon (thai) instead, followed by a movie at the mcmenamin's mission pub.
Did you think we went without beer? We had a beer and a sampler at Deschutes. The IPA with Citra hops was excellent. This is a new breed of hops, it tastes like a tangerine with a strong chipotle smokiness. Of the sampler, all the brews were excellent, but the black butte XXII really stood out. This brew had strong oveetones of chocolate, dark chocolate and nibs, orange zest, and some spicey peppers. Truly an exceptional beer!
