Ok, if I’m calling a bottle sexy perhaps I’ve had enough beer already. But the point is that currently, Nellie is in the running to unseat Haymaker as the 2009 Summer Easy Drink’r. Its light, its tasty, and has none of the armpit taste that some golden ales seem to have.

If the Pike folks happen to read this before I make it up there tomorrow, make sure your wi-fi is running. Frosty wants some Pike on tap, and as that girl I met on the college road trip can attest to, there is no better way to get me going than to get me a little drunk and put me online.

I’m not sure who Ruby is, but she’s not in this beer. None the less, this is a good easy drinking beer, that helps me sit through a Madden pregame. And boy does one need help when it comes to that.

Update: Since for the first time in our 130-odd reviews that we had the actual brewer comment on one of our posts, I feel obliged to elaborate just a bit.

Ok, just a little. Although it didn’t have the strong Ruby taste of a McMenamins, the beer itself was very good, and I would certainly buy and drink again. And that folks, is the true measure of any great beer.
