Appearance: Finger of head drops to a thin halo of off white foam on a deceptively pretty glass. Almost opaque brown shows a deep glow and clarity when back lit. It looks viscous, hefty.
Smell: The idea with an Alt is an ale that is treated like a Lager, and held longer to age out. I should clear off all the musty fruity edges aged off of it, giving a clean smooth flavor. Then, these guys decide, let's smoke it. So, a lot that is supposed to go on actually does. The smoke is a about a 4 of 10 in intensity, full but not the only thing going on.
Taste: Full malty character, some mild oak that may be from the smoke. There is just a bit of pear, maybe a light grape skin, but it is just one note in the smoke, malt, yeast chord. The finish is a bit chalky.
Mouthfeel: A bit watery, a low carb level coupled with a light body. There's enough that it's not cask, just a bit flat.
Overall: Damn Scruffy! Some deep philosophical brewing statement you go going on here. Technically well executed, the concept works only if you end up liking it or not. The flavor is different, another cousin in the beer style family. I'm warming up to it, I like what's going on with each flavor. I'd put it up there with Buried Hatchet.

Orange-tan with a monster head that slowly dropped down and left nice sticky clumps of lacing.
Aroma has a fairly smoky start, with a good maltiness expected from an altbier, perhaps some barbeque when you've got a beercan chicken and bacon wrapped jalapenos going on a crisp fall day, and... this might sound strange, but I'm getting a touch of root beer too. .
Flavor is more pronounced on the smoke, but doesn't totally diverge from the altbier profile. A touch of nuttiness and some pleasant maltiness cling to the base beer underneath the smokiness.
As I drink it, I find the body a tad thinner and quite a bit more carbonated than what's probably optimal for this beer. New formulations should adjust and improve on the body.
Overall tho, it's an enjoyable beer which I'm happy to say, I have three more tall-boys of in the fridge. I'll try more cedar creek beers.

16 oz can poured into oversized tulip glass.
A - Pours a dark cloudy amber with a massive off white head. The head is coarse with lots of air pockets and recedes somewhat quickly. Very minimal lacing left behind.
S - Campfire aroma with lots of smoked beechwood. I get a little sweet malt along with this but not much else.
T - The taste is much the same as the aroma. Loads of smoked beechwood, semi-sweet malts, and a moderate bitterness. Slightly nutty but the smoke overpowers most flavors. Very reminiscent of a rauchbier.
M - Somewhat thin body with moderate carbonation. Nothing special, but nothing offputting.
O - I wasn't sure what to expect from a smoked alt, but this is decently good. It's pretty much a rauchbier with almost overpowering campfire smoke from the beechwood. More balance and a thicker mouthfeel would have made this a lot better.

Honestly, I bought this four-pack solely because it was a style I'd never heard of before. Not many smoked alts on the market.
Poured into a large glass mug, Scruffy's is a nice copper color with a big two-finger head on top. NIce looking, but nothing special here. No lace to mention. The nose on this beer is huge, which is why I gave it high marks. I think it accomplishes what it sets out to do. Big and smoky, it's sort of like walking into a smokehouse or a barbeque pit. Very woody. There may be some other scents hidden in there as well, but they seem to be overpowered by the smoke. Taste follows suit, with lots of smokiness here too. Some hint of chocolate, dark cherry (unusual for an alt). It's fruitier than most alts I've had. Mouthfeel is crisp and thin.
This is an interesting beer. Rauchbier in style, but the alt partnership is a weird one. It's definitely more rauhbier than alt. I'm glad I've tried it, but unless I'm really in need of a smoky beer in the future, I can't see myself revisiting this too much very often. Not a bad fall/winter beer, though.

A smoked altbier? Very intriguing. Curious to see if this delivers. 16 fl oz silver aluminum can acquired at me local HEB Grocery and served into a Spaten stangenglas in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are above average; I'm not well acquainted with this brewery, but the idea of a smoked altbier is appealing. IBU: 35. OG: 12.5 plato. SRM: 13. Reviewed as a smoked alt because it clearly identifies as such in the name and on the label; I don't subscribe to the "smoked beer" nonsense classification currently ascribed by beeradvocate.
Served cold - straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonaton issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Pours a five finger wide head of faint khaki colour. Okay thickness. Subpar creaminess. Inconsistent uneven lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes; this beer has "legs." Head retention is good - about 5 minutes - though this may be explainable by its seeming overcarbonation.
Body colour is a clear somewhat dark copper. Transparent and translucent. Average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible.
Overall, it's within style conventions but far from unique or special. There are no obvious flaws. I'm looking forward to trying it. A bit darker than most altbieren I've seen.
Sm: Has a guiding, subtle beech smoke character that I'm really digging. Not overwhelmingly smokey, but not noncommittally so either. Lovely caramalt and beechwood notes. I do pick up some chocolate malt when I look for it. Amber/alt malts with a vague fruitiness - plum and dates. Cleanly fermented; I'd attribute that to the alt yeast. Hopping is minimal in presence and vaguely fruity in character.
No yeast character (explicitly) or alcohol is detectable.
An intriguing aroma of average strength.
The smokiness seems ideal for what they're going for based on the aroma, and is definitely a highlight for me.
T: Yup, solid smokiness - nuanced and well integrated, not overbearing or overwhelming; this isn't just a gimmick beer, it does hybridize smoked malt with the altbier style pretty well. The body is comprised of clean barley, German altbier malts, a dash of caramalt, and a hint of chocolate malt. Lightly nutty. The malty build overall is darker than you'd expect for an altbier. Lightly toasty and bready. Smokiness is present throughout, guiding the flavour profile and lending it a natural cohesion. The smokiness isn't meaty or pork-redolent like most rauchbiers; there's no baconey notes. It does evoke beechwood.
Too bitter for the style, but I applaud the experimentation and I consider this a minor success at hybridizing the two styles involved. It's decently balanced and has interesting complexity. Not the most subtle alt out there, but considering they used smoked malts it's pretty impressive. Above average intensity and slightly above average depth of flavour for the style. Average duration of flavour.
No yeast character, hop character, or alcohol comes through.
It could really use some work in terms of the nut flavours; I want far more complexity.
Mf: Largely unrefreshing. A bit overcarbonated. Has an unnatural smoothness. Okay body and thickness. Wet. Suits the flavour profile well for the most part. Has an interesting presence on the palate for an altbier.
Not oily, astringent, wet, gushed, hot, boozy, buttery, or harsh.
Dr: Certainly drinkable; I'll enjoy finishing this can. I always applaud experimentation, and while I do prefer well-executed traditional versions of the style, I was surprised how much I liked this - at least compared to how severe a trainwreck it could have easily been. I'll have my eye on Cedar Creek in the future, and while I wouldn't recommend this to friends, I do think it's worth trying, if only because it's almost a unique beer. I dig the premise and expect to see more smoked altbieren going forward. It's easily an above average beer. Might be a good beer for newcomers to rauchbieren if they're trying to ease their way towards traditional examples of the style.

I've been looking forward to trying Scruffy's Smoked Alt since I picked it up last week. Smoked Altbier ("Alt") is a great idea. A traditional Alt's flavor profile--nutty, toasted malts in front, supported by muted fruity, dry, crisp hoppy flavors-- should complement smoked malty flavors nicely. I'm expecting flavors like hickory-smoked cashews and almonds and citrus-marinated barbecued meats.
A standard pour yields a dark amber brew and a very tall (3+ fingers) head of foam. The head is tall, but not viscous. Its fizzy body disappears too quickly, but does leave behind some patches (not rings) of fizzy lace on the sides of the glass. Bubbles are medium in size and evenly dispersed in the body.
The nose is as complex as some of the better rauchbiers/smoked beers I've had. Smoked aromas are present, but don't overpower. I appreciate toasted caramel, seared bacon, maple, and very mild notes of citrus.
The taste more or less follows the nose. Caramel, dark toffee, and roasted almonds and cashews up front, smoked meat in the middle. The smoked meats continue into the back end, where they're met with some bitter citrus-rind flavors and lingering bitterness. Think charred pork belly and orange rind slowly smoked over oak chips. Unfortunately, these intriguing flavors are let down entirely by the beer's watery mouthfeel and fizzy, sometimes abrasive froth. The beer was nearly flat by the last few sips of this 16 oz. can. Darn.
On the whole, Scruffy's Smoked Alt is an excellent smoked beer. It incorporates smokey flavors into what is ultimately a crisp, drinkable ale. The can tells us that the brewers have aimed to create a smoke beer that can be enjoyed with food. I can understand why. The flavor of most rauchbier/smoked beers is so bold that any attempt to pair the beers with food ends up futile. The smokiness in Scruffy's Smoked Alt is subdued enough that the beer should pair well with acidic and rich items.

16 oz tallboy pours a lightly hazed amber color with a large, un-moving cap of tan head. Great looking beer, but appears to be a tad overcarbed.
Nose ranks about a 5/10 on the smoke-o-meter. Still allows the caramel and toast aromas from the malt to shine through. Plenty going on here and the sweet/smoke interplay is pretty cool.
Taste is well done on the smoke, just enough to satisfy rauchbier fans but not too intense as to scare away someone who has not tried a smoked beer before. The malts are perfectly done for my tastes, lightly toasty but stays more biscuity with a bit of caramel. Kiss of hops rounds things out nicely. The smoke is not intense, but it does have a nice 'meaty' flavor. I could drink alot of this and is another solid offering from Cedar Creek. Im impressed with all three offerings they have put out.

A growler from Premium Draught in Houston.
A: Pours a iced tea looking, hazed orange/brown color. At first a two finger white head forms. Tightly packed and well formed, with good retention. The foam eventually recedes to a ring that sticks throughout. Plenty of lace is left behind as well.
S: Smoked meat, toasted malt, bread and biscuit. A light fruitiness as well. Then the smoke comes back, and finishes everything off. While the smoke is never over barring, it is always there and up front.
T: Follows the nose with smoked meat up front. Like the nose the smoke is always present, but never over barring or out of place. Toasted, bread, and biscuit malts. A light sweetness and fruit flavors.
M/D: A medium body. Light to moderate carbonation. I wish there was a bit more crispness, but a miner concern. Very easy to drink. Everything is very well balanced and enjoyable to drink.
This is a well done smoked beer. The meaty smoke is very present, but does not over power everything. The growler will be gone in no time. Very nice.

On tap at Houston area Whole Foods stores
Orange/tan in hue, this beer has a nose that is one of light smokiness, a touch of herb, and a hint of fruit. The foam level looks nice and it does leave some lacing on the glass as you drink.
This beer has a taste that combines flavors of pale malt, light smokiness, peat, caramel, and a touch of fruit. The beer is quite smooth with a small smack of bitterness that is mellower than others of its style. The smokiness, while subtle at first, is more noticeable in the middle and in the finish. Still, it is milder than other smoke- enhanced beers I have tried over the years, some of which are too charcoal- like and taste more like actual liquid smoke than a glass of beer. The added fruit taste and pale malt flavors swing the flavor back toward the sweet end of the spectrum which, again, is not something I have experienced with most smoked beers.
This smoked alt is a good beer for drinking with barbecued meats on a hot Texas day. It isn't an easy beer to find, but it is worth trying if you can find it. The subtlety of the smoke flavor makes it easy- drinking enough that most anyone will find it agreeable and likeable.

On tap at the Untapped Festival.
The beer pours an amber-brown color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of smoke in it, as well as a hint of toffee. The flavor is more of the same. The meaty smoke really comes through strongly, with some toffee and caramel, as well as some earth from the hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Costa Rica Stay......
One of the most amazing places I have stayed, and would stay again in an instant is the Pacuare Eco Lodge in Costa Rica... I stayed in the above cabana high in the rainforest canopy above the ground. The cabana has its own private bridge and hot tub.... You can walk out on the bridge and see monkeys, toucans and feel like you are atop the trees.
The lodge sits on the Pacuare River and is only a few hours from capital city San Jose. You can raft the river and take treks up to cabecar indian villages. The whole property is run on renewable energy via solar, wind and water turbine power..
the staff is great, huge community area for dinner/breakfast and drinks....
There are a many different size cabanas and shared hammock areas... Each cabana feels like it is your private rainforest high in the canopy...
Yes, there is a honeymoon suite too!!
What time of the year did you visit? ...and how was the weather? ...rainy?
hey nisah
I was there in may/June.
some light rain, not much. seasons havent been so distinct last few years with rainy/dry season.

we're trying to book our honeymoon - a catch, our 10-month-old baby girl will be with us. :-) Is this place baby-friendly? Thanks.
Also...is this a place you'd stay 6-7 nights? (Is there enough to do?) Or would you recommend staying a few nights and moving on to another place (and if so, where?) Thanks! Newby travel-planner here.

Beautiful Save the Date Magnet
Classic Allure Save the Date Magnets I would recommend any product on this site to any bride thinking about where to purchase their wedding stationary. Magnet Street has so many products and beautiful designs. My fiancé and I wanted something different for our save the dates so we chose to have magnets created. The design choices were amaxing and we ended up finding a magnet that was able to be produced in our wedding colours and had the exact same designs as our invitation that we purchased elsewhere. The only thing we were a little surprises at was the greay colour noted in the background design was not as pronounced as we had hoped. But the service, the easy-to-use website, and the delivery time blew us away. Thanks for being part of our special day.
Great Buy

"Everyone who received my invitation loved the colors together! The fonts were really cool, and I loved the semi-gloss paper! There was plenty of space to put everything I needed on the invitation. They arrived earlier than I expected and they were packed neatly and organized!"
"We wanted something pretty and soft but still fun. This fit the bill. We used this design for a graduation party invite - changed the background "fifty" to 2013 and the dark "50" to her first initial. I had to play with the font sizes a little to make it look right but in the end it worked very well. We upgraded to the pearlized paper and I was very pleased with how the color and printing looked. The shipping times and customer service were great, too."
"My two sisters and I decided to give our mom a 90th birthday party. She's always been a very classy woman and we wanted an invitation that was classy but not glitzy. This Paisley Damask was absolutely perfect in terms of the occasion, the rich colors, basic format and the high quality of the paper and print. We liked the Teal and gold so much that we decided to use those colors as our party color scheme. First time ordering from Tinyprints and totally pleased with the product and service."
"These invitations were perfect for my mom's 50th Birthday party! They are just classy and casual enough for the occasion, and arrived SUPER fast in perfect quality."
"I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how well this card was made, the design, the quality of the paper, my only complaint is that the card was smaller than anticipated and the print in the front where it calls for date, address, time and rsvp was very small. The rest of the print was legible and so was our personal information it just was smaller thank I think it should be. I wish the card was just a tad bit bigger and our personal info bigger too. I would recommend this card to a friend, I think it's unique and cool exactly what i was looking for in an unique invitation."

We study the molecular genetics, pathogenesis, and clinical aspects of human herpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV). The laboratory focuses on vaccine development, genes important for virus entry and replication, and novel compounds for treatment of herpesvirus infections. Recent findings include development of candidate vaccines for HSV and rhesus EBV; identification of cellular genes that predispose to severe EBV infections; discovery of cells in the blood, other than B cells, that are infected by EBV; and a novel entry molecule for VZV into cells.
Clinical projects complement the laboratory studies. These include studies of patients with severe virus infections to define genetic mutations or polymorphisms associated with the disease, studies of patients with EBV diseases, studies of immune responses in persons after vaccination with the smallpox or varicella vaccines, and attempts to identify novel viruses in patients with unexplained syndromes.

Trowbridge lucky couple's roller coaster year of fun (From This Is Wiltshire)
Trowbridge lucky couple's roller coaster year of fun
4:00pm Thursday 2nd January 2014 in News
A Trowbridge rollercoaster fanatic has enjoyed all the fun of the fair this year after scooping a £1.4million lottery prize in April.
To celebrate his huge Lotto lucky dip win, millionaire John Alford, 76, of Studley Green, took more than 20 members of his family for a two-week summer holiday in Florida, visiting the Sunshine State's theme parks and amusements.
The former Ushers lorry driver and his family stayed in apartments at Buena Vista Lake and had four hire cars at their disposal to get them to and from the attractions including Busch Gardens, Universal Studios and the Disney parks among others.
Mr Alford, who lives with wife Pauline, 76, said: "It was fantastic, we spent a lot of time together as a family and also did our own thing. I absolutely love rollercoasters, the faster for better for me, so I was in heaven – but I did have to sign forms to get on them because of my age.
"I have always wanted to do something like that for the whole family but never thought I'd be able to because of the cost, so I'm very happy we had the chance, thanks to the win."
Throughout the year, Mr and Mrs Alford – who have three grown-up children; Debra, 53, Martin, 50, and Michael, 44, as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren – have enjoyed several trips, holidaying in Tenerife, taking their neighbours to Cornwall and going to see West End musicals.
Mr Alford, former chairman of Studley Green Tenant and Residents Association (TARA), said: "For me, it is the memories that the money can buy rather than possessions. The big thing for us is that we don't have any worries at all during our twilight years, there's no need to plan, we can be spontaneous and enjoy ourselves.
"Although, I don't think I could have coped with any more money as we'd struggle to know what to spend it on. It is a struggle to change, for example, we still go into the supermarket looking for deals and then I think to myself 'what are you doing?' but that is the way we've been brought up and lived our lives."
Instead, of moving to more a exotic setting, the modest millionaire has instead, purchased his Studley Green home, which the Alfords had rented from Selwood Housing, and given it a makeover.
Mr Alford has also upgraded his Ford Fusion for a brand new £24,000 Nissan Qashqai.
He said: "The car is great, every gadget you could ever want is on it, I really like the 360 cameras which it has. The car was really a treat for me as I love driving."
Despite, a healthy increase in their bank balance, Mrs Alford, doesn't believe the couple have changed greatly since the big win.
Mrs Alford said: "I'm quite happy to let him do what he wants to do with the money as he has never ever let me go short during our marriage and I'm so happy to see him enjoying himself with a few little perks from time to time."
The Alfords spent Christmas with their son Michael and didn't break the bank with extravagant presents for their family.
Mr Alford said: "We didn't want to spoil the family too much, they have done pretty well for themselves this year, being taken away to Florida, and they've also gone out for quite a few meals, so we wanted to have as normal a Christmas as possible.
"We've mostly given vouchers and money for Christmas as we are too old to know what young people want."
Next year, they will be flying out to Cyprus for the wedding of their grandson Ryan and staying afterwards for a two-week holiday on the island. But other than that, the Alfords, who have been married for over 50 years, plan to continue letting spontaneity guide them in their adventures.
Reflecting on how the windfall has changed their lives, the couple said that they had no regrets about going public with their win and are full of praise for the support Lotto organiser Camelot gave them.
Mr Alford said: "They've been just fantastic every step of the way and we get invited to some of their events.
"Earlier in the year, they put on an event for previous winners at The Grove Hotel, in London, and took us all to Harry Potter World.
"We had a meal in the Great Hall and sat near the fireplace, which was fantastic.
"We don't have any regrets about going public with the win.
"I know some people might be slightly worried because we live in Studley Green, but honestly this is a great place to live."

Shemos 32:2-3 tells us that the gold materials requested and used for the making of the golden calf were earrings. The Jews clearly had other gold items, including other golden jewlery (ibid 35:22). Is there any symbolism behind why earrings specifically were chosen?

Some people might look at Simisage and pass him off as too weak and frail to be viable in VGC—those people are right. One would be hard-pressed to find a spot for Simisage on their team, but decent attacking stats and above average Speed give Simisage a small niche in the metagame.
This set attempts to utilize Simisage's base 101 Speed and decent base 98 Attack to pull off a sweep. Seed Bomb gives Simisage a powerful STAB move that lands a super effective hit on such threats as Samurott, Jellicent, and Terrakion, while serving as Simisage's main attacking move. With Crunch, Simisage can deal a heavy blow to Psychic-type threats such as Musharna, while maintaining coverage on Jellicent should the foe choose to switch. The third move is dependent on what one's team has the most trouble with. Rock Slide hits Tornadus hard, which otherwise walls Simisage and hits back hard with super effective STAB Acrobatics. If one's team has problems with Hydreigon, Low Kick deals a great amount of damage, allowing Simisage's partner to finish it off. Whimsicott and Amoonguss can give Simisage fits, which might be remedied by pairing Acrobatics with a Flying Gem to threaten them, as well as other Grass-types. Protect gives Simisage a chance to scout, in addition to letting Simisage stay alive for an additional turn, possibly allowing its partner to eliminate a threat.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Where the last set focused on reliability, this set goes for it all with powerful moves, although they might have bigger drawbacks. With 140 Base Power, Leaf Storm deals a huge blow to any Pokemon that doesn't resist it. However, after being used Leaf Storm drops Simisage's Special Attack by two stages, making it an all-or-nothing move. If the drop in stats is unattractive, Grass Knot can be used instead to deal somewhat more consistent damage. Hidden Power Ice is Simisage's main path of attack against Flying-type foes, as well as Dragon-types like Haxorus. Focus Blast hits Hydreigon harder than Hidden Power Ice, though it has a nasty 70% accuracy rate. Protect is utilized once again in the last slot for a large number of uses, namely granting Simisage safety for a turn while its partner eliminates a threat or sets up Tailwind.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
If Leaf Storm's power drop and Grass Knot's unreliability are unappealing, Energy Ball has a static Base Power of 80, and is a decent alternative. Brick Break is in a similar boat to Energy Ball, hitting for a fixed BP unlike Low Kick. Low Kick will mainly be utilized for Hydreigon whose weight makes Low Kick's Base Power 100, outdamaging Brick Break. Simisage receives Nasty Plot and Work Up, which one might want to utilize on a special or mixed set, respectively, but Simisage's frailty along with the fast-paced metagame of VGC 2011 makes these options a gimmick at best. Low Sweep gives Simisage a way to support its team, lowering foes' Speed and dealing a decent amount of damage. If you want a higher critical hit rate, Shadow Claw has about the same coverage as Crunch, albeit at a lower Base Power, 70 to Crunch's 80.
Checks and Counters
Simisage lacking Rock Slide are hard-countered by both Chandelure and Tornadus, and even with Rock Slide it will be hard-pressed to defeat them. Thundurus as well can wall Simisage, as many carry a Charti Berry, turning Rock Slide into a 3HKO and hitting back hard with either Hidden Power Ice or Hidden Power Flying. Eelektross can take most of Simisage's attacks and wreck Simisage with Flying Gem Acrobatics.

Chelsea Ladies' striker Sofia Jakobsson featured for Sweden as they drew 1-1 with Denmark on the opening day of the Women's European Championship.
Jakobsson came on as a second-half substitute in an entertaining fixture. The Danes took the lead midway through the first half thanks to Mariann Gajhede Knudsen before Nilla Fischer equalised for Sweden, who could have won the tie but saw two second-half penalties saved by Danish keeper Stina Petersen.
Tournament hosts Sweden will next be in action again on Saturday when they face Finland, but before that, two more Blues players will be hoping to get a taste of the action on Friday.
Defender Dunia Susi and striker Eniola Aluko are both part of Hope Powell's England squad and the Three Lions start their campaign against Spain (kick-off 7.30pm). That game, and Sweden's clash with Finland,are live on BBC Three.

Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian trying to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. Surnames in Franklin County, NC are YARBOROUGH, GREEN, HAWKINS, and DUNSTON. In Halifax and Warren Counties, surnames are DAVIS, BROWN, and ROSS. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

The sous vide technique has been the secret of great chefs worldwide for decades. The award-winning SousVide Supreme is an amazing all-in-one sous vide water oven designed to bring the sous vide culinary technique into home kitchens and restaurants at an affordable price. The sous vide (pronounced "soo-veed") technique involves cooking food in vacuum-sealed pouches submerged in a water bath held at a precisely-controlled temperature. This foolproof method eliminates guesswork and lets anyone cook foods with incomparable taste and texture: steak perfectly cooked edge-to-edge, vibrant vegetables, juicy tender chicken breasts, and ribs with the meat literally falling off the bone. All at the push of a button!
