The following combination of articles explains — and they link to conclusive evidence proving — that the United States Government is actually designing its nuclear forces now with the intention to win a nuclear war against Russia (World War III), and no longer (if they ever really were) adhering to the idea ("Mutually Assured Destruction") that WW III would produce unacceptable catastrophe for both sides, and must therefore be prevented. The U.S. Government is definitely set upon winning WW III, not avoiding WW III. Nuclear weapons are thus being built and deployed by the U.S. Government with the intention to conquer Russia, and this goal has become NATO's mission, and its only remaining core function, though this fact is not publicly acknowledged. Here are these articles, and their key quotes, showing this:
"Back in 2011, before the B61-12 development program had progressed to the point of no return, FAS sent a letter to the White House and the Office of the Secretary of Defense pointing out the contradiction with the administration's policy and implications for nuclear strategy. They never responded."

"As from March 2020, the United States will begin to deploy in Italy, Germany, Belgium, and Holland (where B-61 nuclear bombs are already based), and probably also in other European countries, the first nuclear bomb with precision guidance in their arsenal, the B61-12. Its function is primarily anti-Russian. This new bomb is designed with penetrating capacity, enabling it to explode underground in order to destroy the central command bunkers with its first strike. How would the United States react if Russia deployed nuclear bombs in Mexico, right next to their territory?"

1. Visit the Abu Simbel Temples
The temples at Abu Simbel are gigantic rock-cut temples and one of the most impressive sites in Egypt. Planning a tour there is one of the best things to do in Egypt. The rock-cut temples are of Egyptian Pharaohs to be precise. It was originally built to mark the Egyptian border with Nubia. And, Nubia was meant to display the power and strength of Egypt's rulers to any who might think to threaten it. Until 1813, Abu Simbel was buried underneath sand and lay forgotten.
But that has changed today. Rediscovered by a Swiss explorer, the imposing carvings stand as a facade for visitors to walk past on their way into the temples. There are certain days during the year when they will see the sunbeam through these cavern-like spaces, illuminating statues of the gods it was built for.

2. Take a tour of the lost city of Heracleion
Taking a tour of the city of Thonis-Heracleion is one of the top things to do in Egypt. Barely more than a legend, it appeared in a few rare inscriptions and ancient texts. For more than a thousand years, it was hidden away, submerged deep under the sea. For years, it had been searched by screening the vast area of the Abu Qir Bay off the coast of Egypt. French archaeologist Frank Goddio and his team saw a colossal face emerge from the watery shadows. And, they understood that finally, they had encountered the Thonis Heracleion.
The city was completely submerged 6.5 km off Alexandria's coast. 64 ships, 700 anchors, a treasure trove of gold coins and statues standing at 16 feet. It was an amazing discovery for sure.
3. Nilometer
Did you know during the ancient times in Egypt, the behaviour of the Nile could mean life or death each harvest season? Egyptians had invented an instrument to measure the waters to predict the Nile's behaviour. And, it was long before the Aswan Dam was constructed to manage the flooding of the great river. The instrument was: Nilometer. There were three kinds of nilometers. Examples of all three can be seen around in Egypt. Among them the simplest one was a tall column which was housed in a submerged stone structure called a stilling well. One of these nilometers can be seen on Rhoda Island in Cairo.

Most of the times these nilometers are used for measuring water levels as early as 5000 years ago. The one on Rhoda Island dates back to 861. It was built where an older nilometer had been, based on a design by Afraganus. He was a famous astronomer. The nilometers could only be monitored by priests and rulers, whether pharaohs or later, Roman or Arab leaders.
4. Trip to Al-Azhar Park
A beautiful oasis located in the centre of Cairo, it's one of the must things to do in Egypt. Taking a trip to this park. If you are wondering what to do in Egypt then here's where you can start from. Egypt is a lot more than pharaohs and pyramids. With the most ancient culture it has innumerable stories to tell. The green space in the park is full of walking paths and gardens. But, what it is especially noted for is it's proximity to most of the famous Egypt attractions. Its strategic central location makes it one of the easiest places from where you can travel everywhere.
Mosques of Darb Al Ahmar, the old Fatimid city, the City of the Dead, and the Ayyubid Citadel. All these places are located nearby to this park. Visitors can also get a 360-degree view of the city of Cairo from some of the green hills there. You can also find the remains of a 12th-century wall which was discovered while the park was being developed. It also contains some stones covered in hieroglyphics.

5. Head towards the spooky City of the Dead
You can very well say even after being spooky, it's one of the fun things to do in Egypt. The location is just outside the central Egyptian city of Minya which lies in the cemetery Zawiyyet al-Mayyiteen. Considered as one of the world's largest cemeteries it is dubbed as the "City of the Dead". A truly huge necropolis, what is more significant is it's thought-provoking beauty. Innumerable white conical domes stretch out across a wide plain. That makes the necropolis appear almost similar to the waves of the sea.
The several hundred mud-brick mausolea is topped with a dome. Every single one of them. The cemetery stretches for over several kilometers and had been used by Muslims and Coptic Christians alike. If you would like to enjoy the true essence of this place, visit during sunrise or sunset. It's a different world altogether. But, please note that visitors should be modestly dressed while entering this cemetery to keep the respect.

6. Visit the White Desert
Located just a few hours away from Cairo lies a desert that would make you feel as if you have landed on the moon. Needless to say taking a tour here is one of the fun things to do in Egypt. The desert has been formed by centuries of erosion and sandstorms. These unique calcium rock formations crop up across the whole landscape like beautiful abstract statues. For first-timers, the sight can be quite breathtaking and scary at the same time. A land of whites to be precise. Make sure to wear dark goggles as you might get blinded by too much brightness.
Many of the structures there resemble food and have been given names like "mushroom" and "ice-cream cone". While others have inspired more grandiose designations like "Monolith" and the "Inselberg". But, what you should look out for is the famed "chicken and tree" set. It's also called the "chicken and mushroom". It's arguably the most weird structure formed there.
7. Buy papyrus in Giza
Egyptians did invent and discover a lot of things. Among these their greatest achievement was the invention of paper. Papyrus as is called. And buying papyrus from Egypt is one of the best activities in Egypt. Exploring, gathering knowledge and getting hands one some of the best. What Egyptians did specifically was, they made writing material out of pulp derived from the papyrus tree that still grows along the Nile. Isn't that cool? Visitors are enthralled with a demo of the way Egyptians made paper. The demo is given at the Papyrus Institute in Giza.

Interestingly, papyrus is one of the best things to purchase when in Egypt. Original and speaks of true Egyptian culture. To remember your trip well, you can get papyrus souvenirs from Egypt.
8. Take a tour of the Cairo Citadel
Visit the Eastern district of Old Cairo to take a look at this ancient citadel. One of the best things to do in Egypt is to go there and explore the whole place taking good amount of time in hand. Built in the 12th century, it acted as a defence against the crusaders. This beautiful region was home to the ruling parties of Egypt for over seven long centuries. The ruling parties included the Ayyubbid Dynasty, the Mamluks, the Ottoman Empire and even the forces of Napolean Bonaparte.
Characterized by three iconic mosques and amazingly beautiful places, the citadel is a must visit if you are in Egypt. It also consists of a handful of museums and terraces that afford beautiful views of the Pyramids of Giza on the border of Cairo.

9. Visit the Hathor Temple
Heard about the Dendera Light Bulb? Probably yes, probably no. Whatever it may be, if you wish to see the famed relief up, close and personal you will have to visit the underground crypt of Hathor Temple. It's located at the Dendera Temple Complex in qena, Egypt. It would surely be a jaw-dropping experience which is beautifully intricate. Visiting this temple is one of the must required things to do in Egypt.
Did you know even after so many years, it's one of the well-preserved temples in Egypt? Three temples namely the birthing temple, temple of Isis and the main one dedicated to Hathor form this place. There is also a sacred pool that you can still explore. It's empty though; sorry, no swimming. The colours you get to see throughout this temple are quite original and vibrant.
10. Colossi of Memnon
When in Egypt, you can't afford to miss this. One of the main things to do in Egypt is to take a tour of the Colossi of Memnon. Ever heard about it? If not, let's elaborate. These are mainly Egyptian statues that have survived for over 3,400 years and were an acoustic wonder of the ancient world. Looming over the Theban Necropolis, they have been able to captivate the imaginations of curious travellers for millennia. Although the twin colossi doesn't resemble twins anymore, it depicts the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty.

Once upon a time, they had flanked the entrance to his lost mortuary temple. One of the most lavish temples in all of Egypt, their faded side panels depict Hapy, god of River Nile. Floods caused by the Nile have reduced the temple to ruins since centuries but the statues have withstood the disasters all along. When the first ray of desert sun spilled over the baked horizon at the crack of dawn, the shattered statue would sing. A tune which is more powerful than pleasant; fleeting and otherworldly. Now, tell us, can you afford to miss going to this place?
Even if you are not a globetrotter, Egypt should be in your list. And, if you are planning on your first international trip, you now know where to go first. For experienced as well as amateur travellers, Egypt is equally adventurous for all.

Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue capitalizes on ice time
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The question of puck ownership wasn't really much of a debate.
"I told him it was mine, but a goal is more important," Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue said.
Even so, "an assist for a goalie is pretty cool," center Laurent Dauphin pointed out.
Domingue set in motion the second-period sequence that resulted in Dauphin's first NHL goal Monday in a 3-2 win over the Canucks to tally the goalie's first NHL point.
But after the game, the puck was with the goal scorer.
"I'm going to give it to (my dad)," Dauphin said.
Shane Doan continues streak to help Coyotes edge Canucks
Domingue and Dauphin became the first Coyotes to team up for their first NHL points on the same goal since Martin Hanzal and Craig Weller assisted on Daniel Winnik's goal Oct. 4, 2007, with all three players earning their first NHL point on the play.
Although Domingue had to settle for a replica puck to mark the feat, the 23-year-old is accruing another souvenir that just might be more important to him: regular playing time.
"It's great every time you get to play games in the NHL," Domingue said. "For me, it's a dream come true to be up here and playing. It's kind of surreal."
Domingue has started three in a row, a span in which the Coyotes have snagged five out of a possible six points, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was back between the pipes Thursday when the Coyotes complete their three-game, western Canada road trip in Calgary against the Flames.
In six starts since No. 1 Mike Smith went down with a long-term core muscle injury, Domingue is 4-0-2 with a .939 save percentage. Actually, his only two losses this season came in relief of Anders Lindback.
"I'm really, really not stressed when I start," he said. "When I'm on the bench, it's so much out of my control that I get stressed out about it. … If I want to have success, I'm going to have to figure that out."
But Domingue's time as the Coyotes' No. 2 last season is what he feels has helped him capitalize on this latest opportunity.
After the Coyotes traded goalie Devan Dubnyk to the Wild almost a year ago, the team called on Domingue to be Smith's understudy. He appeared in seven games and while his results were uneven, the experience was valuable.
"Really for me it was more knowing how to conduct myself everywhere and every situation whether it was on the ice or off the ice and trying to really get a sense of what it is to be an NHL player, an NHL backup, an NHL goalie," Domingue said.
Combine that knowledge with the confidence that has been a trademark of his throughout most of his career and Domingue is not only helping the Coyotes stay afloat without Smith, he's backstopping them to meaningful points.
"He's a good young player," coach Dave Tippett said. "He works hard at his game. The thing I like about him, he has the skill set but his demeanor is very good. He's calm out there. Nothing seems to faze him. He just goes out and does his job. He's brought a calmness to the goal that our team has rallied around."
Arizona Coyotes' Brad Richardson enjoying productive run
Injury update
Defenseman Zbynek Michalek was able to participate in Tuesday's practice but remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Center Martin Hanzal, who has missed 11 out of the past 12 games with a lower-body injury, also practiced.
"Hanzal continues to progress, and I think he's got a chance to play Thursday," Tippett said.
Time change
The Coyotes have bumped up the start time of their Jan. 16 home game against the Devils to noon.
Puck drop was originally set for 7 p.m. but at that time, the game would have coincided with the Cardinals' home divisional playoff game at 6:15 p.m.
Fox Sports Arizona will broadcast the Coyotes game, and the action can also be heard on KTAR-AM (620).

Duo Security: 5 Steps to Perimeter-Less Security – Adopting a Zero-Trust Model for Secure Application Access
Modern security is evolving beyond the perimeter. Users want to access critical work applications from anywhere, at any time and from any device, and the security models to support that must evolve.
While the concept of zero-trust security has been around for nearly a decade, it again grabbed headlines with Google's BeyondCorp architecture, which is based on the principles of zero trust.
A zero-trust security model states that organizations should not trust anything inside or outside of their network perimeters and should instead verify anything and everything that tries to connect to applications and systems before granting them access. Simply put, no traffic inside a network is any more trustworthy by default than traffic coming from the outside and it's up to an organization to determine under which conditions they decide to trust something – a user or a device – to grant it access.
In this ebook from our partner Duo Security, we'll examine the zero-trust security model and dig into five key steps to move your organization beyond the perimeter and base application access on user identity and the trustworthiness of devices.

Hey guys. I'm writing this blog to expand more on the appropriate length for episode plots briefly outlined in Munkapedia's Manual of Style. As stated in the MOS, plots should state the important details of the episode without being overly detailed or broad. This can vary person to person so this aspect will be touched on further here.
In order to determine the right length for a plot, one first needs to know two things: the total length of the episode and whether there is a unique plot style. Regardless of the episode length or style, the plot itself should be an even distribution of the episode's content.
Episode Length
The first criterion is very easy to determine given on any episode page one can find the episode infobox to the right of the page. Under the "Episode Information" section, the Episode number is listed.
The episode number is the indication its length. If it's a whole number then the episode is roughly 22 minutes long, with the exception of The Alvin Show episodes which are broken into shorts (explained on the series page - the main Chipmunk short is roughly seven minutes long). If the number is followed by a letter, eg. 46A or 46B, then the episode is roughly 11 minutes long. Consequently, non-60s whole number episodes should have longer plots than episodes with a letter in their episode number.
Unique Style
A unique plot style refers to how the episode was written. For example, Big Dreams has a split in the plot in which there is a poor and rich timeline. Another example would be Alvin in Analysis, which is a clip episode. These types of episodes require more detail in their plots than a standard episode to explain in a reasonable fashion what occurs within them. Without the extra detail, these episodes would be too broad.
Example Plots
The following are examples of various plot lengths given their episode lengths. Note the amount of detail in each. Plots will naturally vary a little to be shorter or longer for each episode length, but any that are much longer or shorter are unacceptable and should be rewritten.

Each year since the General Synod in 2014, the Polish National Catholic Church has focused its attention on a particular aspect of our Christian Catholic faith. The theme of this year is our "Discipleship" as a point of focus for the next 12 months. We begin this year by taking a close look at the word itself and seeing exactly what this concept says to us.
"Discipleship" is our action of being a disciple of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And we must remember that this is a conscious choice each and every day, not an accident of history. While we might have been baptized a long time ago when our parents, our godparents or our guardians brought us to the Church and had the local parish pastor perform the rites of Baptism for us, this action alone does not make us living disciples. It is a beginning, but it is not the end of our discipleship. In fact, it is really only the very first step.
When we think about what a disciple really is, we turn our attention to the disciples of Jesus Christ as presented to us in Holy Scripture. It is during this time of year, within these first few Sundays of Ordinary Time, that we focus on the call of Jesus to His first disciples, His first followers. Jesus had been performing a number of miracles within the area of the Sea of Galilee and certainly many, many people got to know of His mighty deeds. It was following this that Jesus approached two sets of brothers, Andrew and Peter, as well as James and John. To each of these He called out, "Follow Me." If we look only at the short passage of these scenes in the Gospel, it would seem that Jesus didn't really explain Himself. Jesus didn't explain to them, "Follow Me and I will teach you all sorts of things about the kingdom of God," or "Follow Me and you will be able to perform mighty acts of God as I do." All of this would come later, for now Jesus just said, "Follow Me."
Now this is not to say that these men knew nothing of Jesus. As is found in the pages of Scripture, Jesus was going around the area, preaching repentance and performing miracles. All in the local area, including those who would be the first disciples, were beginning to know what Jesus was about. But it was these sets of brothers who were the recipients of that first call. And they answered with a resounding "yes." Well not really. Scripture doesn't tell us if they said anything. What it does tell us is that they abandoned everything, got up and began to follow Jesus, not in the mental way we sometimes think of, but rather in a very physical way. They certainly gave a resounding "yes," not with words, but with their lives.
This actually was quite a normal thing for a teacher within this society. A teacher or rabbi would gather around himself a group of individuals who would live life entirely as the teacher did. It was not like a school as we know it, where the student shows up in the morning and spends a few hours learning from the teacher and then goes home at the end of the day. It was total immersion in the life of the teacher. The disciples eat with the teacher, live with the teacher, follow the teacher everywhere he went, and slept in the same places that the teacher did. This school was not only for a few hours a day, but was total immersion in the life of the teacher, 24/7.
It is important for us to keep these things in mind when we are considering our own place as disciples of Jesus Christ. Many, if not most of us, have done the school model in learning the ways of our Christian Catholic faith, which usually takes place at our parish churches. At around the age of 8 we spent a year or so in classes, learning the lessons of our First Holy Communion Catechism, at the end of which we received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. Then a few years later we spend a year or two in classes learning our Confirmation Catechism at the end of which we received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is oftentimes right here that our formal religious education ends. One observation that I have made about this is that only in regards to religion do we think that we know all there is to know when we are 14 or 15 years old.
Of course this is a little unfair; more and more parishes are beginning to offer School of Christian Living classes for young members after Confirmation and also for older adults. We also continue to attend worship on Sundays, and through the hearing of Scripture and receiving the Sacrament of the Word of God through homilies, we also continue to expand our understanding of our Christian Catholic faith.
But again here I wonder if we are not framing the situation in the wrong way. The way presented here is that there are finite and discrete points in time where there is something to learn. Rather, maybe we should look to the model of the disciples of Jesus and their discipleship given at the beginning of the article. As we have learned a little within our First Holy Communion Catechism classes and also hopefully through our family experiences of the faith as well, we have come to hear a little about what Jesus is doing within our world and within our Church. But again, just like the first disciples after they began to learn a little, Jesus is calling out to us, "Follow Me." I'm not sure that we are all ready to hear it, but trust me, Jesus is calling, "Follow Me."
And He's not calling us just to another hour of time, to another discrete point where we can learn something or do something. Rather, He is calling us, through these discrete moments, to enter into the disciple relationship that the first disciples had with Him. He is calling us to full immersion in His life, full living in His way, 24/7.
Yes, there will still be moments when we gather together for the worship of Almighty God within our parish churches. We will gather on Sundays and Holy Days to commemorate the great mysteries and events of our faith and join together within the worshiping community to express our faith. Yes, there will be moments when we perform acts of mercy and loving kindness when we help those who are in need or who are suffering. But these will not be our faith and our discipleship, but rather they will be the results of living the life of a disciple.
Through discipleship we are being called to something much deeper. Not only will we go to church on Sundays, but we will be immersed in the worship of God as we pray each day for those around us, those we love and those we have difficulty with, and even those we may never meet. We will take up spiritual practices, like spending time with Scripture so that we may be immersed in the Word of God and come to more fully connect with the Master Who we follow. We will be ones who give generously at all times. It is a giving that will start with the support of our local parishes, our diocese and our whole church, and will extend from there as well. We will give of ourselves in acts of loving kindness and mercy. We will give others a kind word and a helping hand, not because of anything that they might do for us in the future, but rather just because, as followers of Jesus, that's what He would do.
We will stand strong in our faith and knowing that we, as Christians, are responsible in some ways for one another. We will help others along the way of life with fraternal correction and help, through prayer and action, in following Jesus closer and closer. We will make sure that those within our families, our loved ones and especially our children, will know the love of Jesus Christ through our words and actions. We will not limit this love for only a few but rather we will extend this love to as many as we possibly can.
This is the way of the disciple. It is not just a few discrete actions of attending church a few times a year or even every week. It is a life lived in total dedication to Jesus Christ and in total immersion in His life. Yes, it's attendance at the worship of God, but it's also so much more as well.
Does it seem like a challenge? Does it seem like a lot to ask? Maybe so. But it is the call that has been heard down through the centuries. It is the call that countless others have answered, these being the ones we call saints. We certainly know that they weren't perfect. But perfection wasn't the call. Jesus didn't call after those first brothers and say, "Be perfect." He said, "Follow Me." And follow Him they did.
Jesus calls to us still today. Let's leave behind the selfish desires of the heart that will gain us very little and instead follow the way of Jesus. Through the love we profess and express, through the actions of love and kindness we will show, we will grow closer and closer to the Lord Who loves us, and gave all for us upon the Cross.
This is the way of discipleship. Will we follow this road perfectly? Of course not. We shouldn't expect that we will, because even the apostles couldn't. But we will get to work at the side of the Master, the side of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and by joining our lives to His, we will come to know His mercy and His love which extends to life everlasting.

Some of us can't get near the fruit, or they hate it.
I'm over the moon with it. I can't really get enough mangoes.
I even have a tree in the backyard. Therein lies the problem. You see, Mango Trees can get insanely big. In South Florida they can get to 40 or 50 feet tall.
Lets call that 17 meters for the imperially impaired.
There is one that big just a short walk from my front door.
So unless you want fruit that is upwards of two pounds or a Kilo falling from 50 feet onto your head, or breaking glass in your car, you want to lower the things.
I've been telling people this for years. Don't let it grow up, make it grow out.
Yes, I am turning my mango into a bonsai. Not one of those little trees in a pot, but a tree that could be huge is going to be cut back to about six feet.
It's a manageable height for these things.
I know it is something that works because I did a test cut a month back and I am trying hard not to allow myself to finish the job.
I had gone out there and found that my tree was almost 20 feet tall and growing out of control. About the time I took cuttings from the Bougainvillea, I walked to the Mango with saw in hand and lowered the tree on one side by about a person in height. It also got narrowed to about 10 feet.
How do I know it worked? Simply because the plant told me.
I didn't do a simple beheading of the tree, I cut back long arms to the core.
One month later, everywhere I cut, the tree put out lots of little branches like fingers. I stopped where I did with the tree because I was afraid it would pout and not put out more fruit for next year. Since flowering and fruiting happens in spring here, I have to wait.
My Theory is that I can gently reduce the height in stages and not shock the plant.
At least it's not a skyscraper any longer.
Motto of this exercise is that if you have a truly tall tree that is getting out of control, take a measured approach and trim it back. But do so gently, after all you do still want the tree.
I will say mine is vigorously putting out new growth and should be in perfect form for blooming in early spring.

Siren CrafT brew - Mind on my honey
I believe I wanna take you to the promised land.....
Siren Craft Brew teamed up with one of the world's leading meaderies, Arizona based Superstition, to produce Mind On My Honey. Badged as a Creamed Imperial Stout Braggot it really highlighted my ignorance about the world of mead and I immediately hit Google for enlightenment. A braggot is apparently a form of mead made with both honey and barley malt. Based on what I've just written it won't surprise you to learn that I have no benchmark to compare this with but what I can tell you is that if they all taste this good I have serious doubts as to what I've been doing up to this point in my life because this is immense!
The beer itself is as complex as its name. Upon opening your senses are overwhelmed with big, heavy honey aromas. The first taste blew my mind, there was so much going on. A rich, full mouthful of sticky, smokey goodness followed by a hot and spicy chilli tingle as you swallow that lingers on your tongue and throat before the sweet honey finish kicks in.
Bravo Siren, you've absolutely knocked it out of the park with this absolute banger!
Northern Monk - Northern Tropics
You know it when you see it. You know it when it's there. Like Michael Jackson's Thiller. Like Farah Fawcett hair. It's good shit!
Nothern Monk have taken inspiration from their childhoods for the latest in the Patron's Project series and emulated a soft drink that those of a certain vintage loved as kids. Northern Tropics is as close to alcoholic Um Bongo as is humanly possible!
A New England IPA packed with tropical fruit goodness (guava, mandarin, mango and pineapple), infused with lactose and then triple hopped with Citra. The result is an outstandingly smooth, sweet, juicy bastard of a beer reminiscent of a tropical milkshake. Welcome to the jungle baby!
Wander Beyond - Tiki's Turtles
It's all about confidence baby.......
2018 was a massive year for Wander Beyond. After a re-brand they launched in 2017 and made craft beer lovers across the country sit up and take notice. With a passion for brewing big beers that burst at the seams with flavour they were justifiably in the discussion for brewery of the year.
Whilst their huge imperial stouts took the limelight Wander Beyond were equally adept when it came to the light side. A one off batch Milkshake IPA that was inspired by Tiki cocktails, Tiki's Turtles is a complex beer with a LOT going on! Tropical fruit and coconut on the nose entice you in where a sensory overload awaits. To taste you are treated to layers of flavour akin to a mojito cocktail. A big, tart pineapple and lime has you puckering up before a middle section of mint and a creamy coconut and lime finish that lingers on the palate.
Tiki's Turtles is a perfect example of what #tryanuary should be about - pushing the boundaries of flavour and the concept of what a beer should be. Available in limited quantities, so get in quick,
