Diary entry #6, Holgate Brewhouse 'White Ale'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Holgate Brewhouse White Ale. 5.0%, 330ml, $16\/6pk, at home. Bottle conditioned, but the tiniest amount of sediment. Wheat beer, very mild taste. Refreshing on a 40\u00b0 day. Not gold, light, cloudy. Like flat L&P or some random chemistry set piece. Matches our couch. Bubbles don’t stay.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, October 2010:<\/strong> I do remember finding this almost ridiculously mild, especially as I was a bit of a wheat beer drinker at the time. Then again, in weather like that, it still did the trick. How on earth did I<\/em> survive those kinds of temperatures, you may ask, if you’ve seen me in even a relatively-mild Wellington summer — just goddamn barely, I can assure you. (And yes, we really did have a couch that was roughly the same colour as L&P<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
