Seguin Brewing Co., Honey Pecan cream Ale #5

Do you remember the excitement of trying a new beer?  I always get a tickle when I pull something new and exciting from the shelf, chill it in the fridge, get out my favorite beer glass, and pour a nice fancy glass of adventure.  Even if the beer is nothing special (or often terrible), I'm gonna have a good time finding out.  I am Yuri Gagarin, Tenzing Norgay, and a dude eating truck stop sushi all rolled into one.

Seguin Brewing Co. has offered up this Honey Pecan Cream Ale #5, and I, Yuri Norgay the sushi adventurer, am bored shit-less by it.  It isn't bad or anything.  If it was bad, I'd have something to write about.  It isn't good either.  It's just... well... it might as well be beige.  If someone told me I had to throw the rest of the bottle away, I could do it without a second thought.  It tastes like a medium bodied, honey tinged, generic ale-flavored ale.  It is perfectly acceptable and tastes just fine.  I'm thinking of having some chips.

I'm not even sure why it is so dull.  More than that, I super don't care.  As a beer lover (snicker snicker), I feel like I should have an opinion, be reminded of something, or give even a modest fuck about a new beer.  But, no.  I've watched 3 tv shows and part of a movie while writing this, I still have plenty of beer left, and not a single damn to give.

The lesson to take away from all this is simple: when life give you lemons, make lemonade, but when life gives you plain white sandwich bread, enjoy your dry toast.
