First sip is much brighter than the DDH IPA, but it still has a fairly deep bitterness

The very hazy yellow beer puts out a nice, sticky head that will leave some lacing, but it's not going to be a bunch.

Love is in the Air
"An unfamiliar dog can come up to me and smell 30 different dogs on my pant leg. They know what we ate for dinner and if we are sick. It should have come as no surprise to me, then, that taking three females “in heat” on my Beargrease team would be a really bad idea."

The Pine Grosbeak (pinicola enucleator) flock (5-6 pairs) are still here. They have been here since December 20, 2025. I know they will continue to be here for a few more weeks before migrating back to the north.
There has been a lone female Redpoll (Acanthis flammea) under the feeders for the last few days.
I heard my first Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) of the season calling in the woods to the south of me.
The temperatures for the last two days were in the mid-40's (F), today the temperature is more seasonal, in the low 30's (F). -

For all the urbanite who venture out into the #backcountry to "conquer" nature."_Urbanization_ is a term that is destined eventually to be deleted from our vocabulary, since no longer does it suggest a cultural polish, but more often the culturally incompetent, and physically, the grace and tactility of a cow on glare ice."

#NewHampshire said "No!" to #HydroQuebec #Massachusetts scheme!
Massachusetts to continue talks with #HydroQuébec for #NorthernPass project
Historic $680M electricity project was 1st approved in January, but rejected a week later by New HampshireThe Canadian Press · Posted: Feb 16, 2018
"Despite a rejection in New Hampshire, Massachusetts will continue negotiations on a conditional basis with Hydro-Québec and its American partner #Eversource for the Northern Pass project.
"Hydro-Quebec is counting on the Northern Pass to supply Massachusetts for 20 years, starting in 2020, as part of a historic contract signed with the state in January."It is estimated that the #CrownCorporation could pocket $10 billion in revenue if an agreement is reached.
"The project was rejected by the New Hampshire Site Review Board, which refused to grant a licence essential to Northern Pass's completion in the state.
"The Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs says talks on the project could end by March 27.
"In the meantime, conditional negotiations may be conducted for another project, the #NewEnglandCleanEnergyConnect [#NECEC] , which would be carried out by Hydro-Quebec and #CentralMainePower."

#CMPCorridor Proposal: A Bad Deal for #Maine
"In April 2023, a Cumberland County jury ruled in CMP’s favor during a court case that very likely will decide the future of the company’s controversial transmission corridor. The decision was based on technical legal issues and not on the merits of whether or not this was a good project for Maine
"We are disappointed with the outcome and remain sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.
"Maine has already shown there’s a better path forward than the CMP corridor. A path focused on #regional collaboration and centered in Maine’s pragmatic approach to solving problems.
"Mainers are pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like the #KingPineWind project in Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum profit.
"#MaineVoters got it right when they overwhelmingly passed a referendum rejecting the #CMP corridor because it’s a bad deal for #Maine and a bad deal for our climate.
"#NRCM is honored to stand with youth #ClimateJustice activists, #tribes in Maine and Canada, people across #WesternMaine who rely on a vibrant outdoor recreation economy, and many others in opposing the CMP corridor. Thank you to everyone who partnered with us on this hard-fought campaign.
What is the CMP Corridor?"Central Maine Power (CMP) is building a 145-mile transmission line through the heart of Maine to send hydropower from Quebec to electricity customers in Massachusetts.
"The CMP corridor is a bad deal for Maine. It will permanently damage #undeveloped #forest and #wildlife habitat, stifle the #LocalRenewableEnergy industry, and jeopardize the creation of clean energy jobs. The corridor won’t reduce global greenhouse gas emissions or create sustainable jobs for Maine people.
Top 4 Reasons NRCM Opposed the Corridor:
- Won’t reduce climate-changing pollution, and may actually increase it.
- Cuts 53 miles of new transmission lines through undeveloped forests in Maine’s #NorthWoods, harming brook trout, deer, other #wildlife, and the tourism economy.
- Jeopardizes the construction of new in-state renewable energy projects and creation of clean energy jobs.
- Generates billions of dollars of profit for CMP [#Avangrid] and #HydroQuebec while offering very little to Maine people and businesses."https://www.nrcm.org/programs/climate/proposed-cmp-transmission-line-bad-deal-maine/
