Rogue’s American Amber Ale has a delightful aroma. It smells very faintly of chocolate and roasted malt. It’s a medium-bodied beer with a cloudy, dark copper color. It has a very strongly hoppy finish - almost, but not quite, as hoppy as an IPA. It’s not bad.

Breckenridge Trademark Pale Ale is a classic English-style Pale Ale. A more robust beer than Breckenridge’s Avalanche Ale, it tastes much like other English pale ales. It seemed to have a fruity - almost flowery - aroma, which faded away upon the first sip. It’s a smooth drinking beer, with a bit of bitterness at the finish. It’s a very likeable beer.

Well, the bank approved my request for a loan. (Cue cheering and applause.) I got the call at 4:24 pm CDT, just as I was preparing to leave work for the day.

We close on the lot on Wednesday.
