Coming back from from an intense Krav Maga workout I joined Aaron B, Sam B, Jaime and David at Baseman's lair for beer. We watched Sniper Deadliest Missions on the History Channel during dinner. The production on that show is excellent, the best I've seen for a re-creation and the graphics are ridiculous. SWAT snipers hunting fugitives from helicopters and Marine Snipers in Fallujah killing terrorists from over 1300 meters? You know what kind of channel History is? THE BEST kind of channel. I was armed with a Rogue American Amber Ale.

The others were cooking fish so I couldn't smell but what a beautiful color! I need to fix the flash on my camera, I know, but the color was enough to get me excited. Subtle malts followed by even subtler hops. Well balanced with a quick finish. Thanks to the water, there's a little metal aftertaste but it is soon forgotten. I'd have to consult the charts but I believe this is one of (if not the first) amber ale we drank and Rogue, I knew you wouldn't disappoint. After so many full bodied, heavy Belgians, I was elated to realize that I could drink a lot of these. Tonight was perfectly excellent. THE ROCK rating.
Quote of the night, a marine sniper said in a perfectly normal tone;
"...and that's when I dropped the hammer on him"
Just another day in a life for soldiers. Mess with a Marine and they're gonna mess with you. Enemy combatants, I hope you like eating lead. Booyah. U.S.A. wins.
