New Belgium beers are on sale at my new favorite Sunflower Farmer's Market, so I tried the Blue Paddle. Evidently, they named the slightly bitter beer after a paddle the owner's grandmother used to use when she pulled out her can of whoop-ass. Couldn't have left too much of a sting though if the beer's any indication. It's a Czech style pilsner that's a little more hoppy than most pilsners,so it's got a little bitterness mixed in, but is still pretty smooth. It's got a little malt aftertaste going on too. Just kind of a middle of the line beer for me. I was going to say "nothing to write home about" but, well... you get the joke (sorry). Next on the beer list are two Polish pilsners: Tyskie and Okocim, neither of which I've actually set eyes on yet. But the hunt is on...
