For those about to bake, we salute you.

Not so hypothetical situation:  it's brutal hot and there is no sign of relief in sight.  Your AC is defunct, and  the ten day forecast shows 5 days of +105 degree highs.  What do you do?  A: Pray for rain, B :get naked and run through the neighbors sprinklers yelling "all your base are belong to us", or C: pop the cap on a cold SA Noble Pils and see what the fuck is cookin', beside myself?  Btw, I personally choose a lot of C with a bit of B to keep life interesting, but if you're a bit more on your rocker than I am, then you can still have a helluva lot of fun engaging in some quality time with the SA Noble Pils, and without getting arrested. 

Pours yellow with a few hints of orange in an impenetrable chill haze. A rush of bubbles result in a mid-sized white head that stays around for quite a while as the bubble activity goes on and on. Eventually things settle down slightly, and I take a whiff and get a some notes of straw, some floral activity, and a bit of sugary sweetness. Perfectly crisp and malty with a good hop bite in the middle and a slight yeasty funk at the end. Light-bodied and smooth like a good Pils should be, but without a sacrificing of taste. Best Pils I've had in a while, and a welcome succor to the relentless summer of 2011.

Now I will just keep hoping the electricity quits cutting off.  Don't know what I would do if the fridge went out.  OMG, I don't even want to think about it!
