My parents owned a 'Maxi' about the time the Capri was prominent. Session hopped ale, decent but nowhere near decadent.

I guess the most prominent Swan Song I can think of is Everton FC leaving Goodison Park this month - and although having never being there as a fan I have been there numerous times in a professional capacity and it's sad to see the Old Lady go. Modernity beckons though. Modern session brew here, hoppy and dryish.

This is beer number 8 for the evening for me - exactly 40 years ago today it was the number '19' topping the singles chart in the UK by Paul Hardcastle. A lower sourness sour beer with good raspberry in aroma and taste.

The 'Baader-Meinhof Effect' is the notion of seeing a word or concept for the first time then frequently seeing it thereafter. The effect of this beer is a little more drunkenness, it's strong but this mainly provides body as it's a sticky-sweet tropical fruit dominant brew in both aroma and taste.

Time Capsule Beer with events on this day as I drink this including Indian and Pakistan continuing to attack each other over Kashmir, prominent European leaders meet in Ukraine to push for a ceasefire with the invading Russians, and parts of Kosmos 482 launched in 1972 are likely to have re-entered earth's atmosphere. If only life was as easy as this hoppy palate-friendly session that slips back easily. Some tasty sugars too.
