Biking like a gentleman

It's been a busy week but this weekend I got to take part in the 120-mile Rapha Gentlemen's Race in and around the Catskills of Upstate NY. There was about 5000 vertical feet of climbing and cold beer from Kelso Brewing at the finish line (a delicious pilsner).

Here are a few images from my crappy camera of my Fifth St. Cross team rolling up Sugar Loaf, the day's big climb.

Taylor ripping it up.

Pryor, Plunkett, and Christine bringing the pain.

It was a long, sweaty day and thankfully Pryor had a few special brews waiting for the team. I had a nice, cool bottle of Tripel Karmeliet. Delicious. Here's a review from the achrives on the tasty Belgian.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | drink: 5

Poured from a 750ml green bottle. A little overflow after it was uncorked, this bottle might have been sitting around a while. No matter, its still tasty.

Looks a hazy straw yellow, and smells of apples and green grapes with a touch of spice. The spice expands on taste, as does the fruit here. This is one of those beers that amazes you at what a beer can taste like. Not overly sweet. I'd say its perfectly balanced. Give me more.
