Drifter and Bay Scallops

OK, all I can say is that the Drifter was a BIG mistake! The acidity of this meal completely overwhelmed the Drifter!

Acids:

  • Lemon Juice
  • Tomatos
  • Balsamic
  • Vineger

Freebird commented that the IRA was completely 'mellowed out' as well. I gave it a quick sip and agreed that the hops were preferred, but IRA's malt was too sweet for this meal.

Hindsight 20/20, we should have gone with the Workhorse IPA, or maybe cracked a 22oz bomber of Deschutes Hop Henge.

Remember: acidity equals hops - lots, and lots, of hops!

Prost to beer and food pairings!
