Nothing very exciting to report these days, unless you find remote sensing, the electromagnetic spectrum, land change science and Bracken fern interesting... but I have tried three new brews.

Sam Adams Noble Pils: a new spring seasonal?! This was pretty good. Currently on tap at Stuffies, as discovered when I went there for dinner with Tom on Sunday. It's a little hoppier than I'd prefer, but not offensive, more in the same vein as Victory's Prima Pils, which I also recently tried. I got a slightly citrus taste out of Sam's; I think Victory had a little more lemon going on. This was decent, but I don't need to go out of my way for it again soon.

Dundee Honey Brown Lager: As my friend Jeremy said, this beer is inoffensive in every way. It seems the people in the internet were even more indifferent, according to that link at beer advocate. I liked it. Not too sweet, not too bitter, not too sharp, not too tasteless, just fine.

Tröeg's Nugget Nectar
: I have liked other things by Tröeg's-- the Mad Elf, Dreamweaver Wheat, and Nut Brown Ale, but this was like a smack in the face with hops, which it's been well established that I don't care for. If you like hops, have at it. I don't need to drink this again.
