Gotta say, you really can do those intros. 00:00:24.374 --> 00:00:30.194 Welcome back to Craft Beer Radio, people here in the room. I guess we had a spring break. Yeah. 00:00:30.614 --> 00:00:35.794 A bit of a spring break. We haven't done a show since before we left for Atlanta. 00:00:35.794 --> 00:00:40.794 yeah january so february yeah it's been a bit of a break it's been a minute 00:00:40.794 --> 00:00:45.654 uh we've been traveling greg's been traveling and then we traveled some more so. 00:00:45.654 --> 00:00:49.514 Just ended up that way yeah what are you gonna do but. 00:00:49.514 --> 00:00:51.954 Greg traveled to a very nice place with a very nice beer. 00:00:51.954 --> 00:00:58.014 Yes this is a spotted cow from new glaris uh brewing company this is available 00:00:58.014 --> 00:01:04.654 only in wisconsin so when i posted it to our discord which reminder to everybody 00:01:04.654 --> 00:01:09.694 check out our discord um and now jeff is looking for i. 00:01:09.694 --> 00:01:11.834 Got everything here but the bottle opener. 00:01:11.834 --> 00:01:12.874 There you go thank. 00:01:12.874 --> 00:01:13.374 You greg, 00:01:15.574 --> 00:01:16.094 these. 00:01:16.094 --> 00:01:18.914 Jingles i don't know if you'll be able to even hear them with the ai we 00:01:18.914 --> 00:01:21.954 have post-processing but all my keys jingle 00:01:21.954 --> 00:01:28.694 jingle as he brings out the spotted cow now this is a uh farmhouse ale technically 00:01:28.694 --> 00:01:32.934 or at least what that's what they call it it's it's kind of it's a it's a lager 00:01:32.934 --> 00:01:39.934 with some flavor basically uh if you ask me and it's um it's great, 00:01:42.334 --> 00:01:43.914 Although they do it in cans now. 00:01:44.434 --> 00:01:44.874 Okay. 00:01:45.254 --> 00:01:51.074 And what I found was that I liked it in the bottles more than the cans. 00:01:51.294 --> 00:01:51.834 Uh-oh. 00:01:52.214 --> 00:01:54.254 But I have a theory as to why. 00:01:54.634 --> 00:01:55.074 Okay. 00:01:56.754 --> 00:01:59.054 And that's why there are two other bottles here. 00:02:00.114 --> 00:02:04.634 Oh, I'm guessing. I'm guessing it has something to do with light striking. 00:02:04.974 --> 00:02:07.594 No, that's not. Because like I said, it was better in the bottle. 00:02:08.554 --> 00:02:13.914 Well, right. Right, but maybe it's a Saison-y thing where it's better with a 00:02:13.914 --> 00:02:14.714 little bit of light strength. 00:02:14.814 --> 00:02:19.014 So I thought the two other bottles that you were talking about were going to 00:02:19.014 --> 00:02:23.054 be you had out on the counter for a week and out on the counter for two days or something. 00:02:23.394 --> 00:02:32.174 No, these have all been in the fridge in the same spot since the beginning of April. 00:02:32.474 --> 00:02:32.914 Okay. 00:02:33.334 --> 00:02:38.674 All right, so beer pours. I poured it very just incrementally in each little glass. 00:02:38.754 --> 00:02:42.294 So we all got kind of the same amount of, um, haze and what, 00:02:42.314 --> 00:02:46.154 and it is hazier than I would have expected it to pour. 00:02:46.454 --> 00:02:50.554 Um, I didn't even like drain the bottle. I left most of the sediment in the bottom. 00:02:50.674 --> 00:02:53.634 Well, it's got lots of yeast in it. You'll be able to tell when you taste it. 00:02:53.714 --> 00:02:53.934 Okay. 00:02:54.434 --> 00:02:54.794 Yeah. 00:02:54.834 --> 00:03:00.134 It's a golden color with, um, very hazy. It looks like a mix between a half a Bison and a wit beer. 00:03:00.314 --> 00:03:00.674 Yeah. 00:03:01.054 --> 00:03:04.174 It's got that kind of banana stuff up front. Ooh. 00:03:06.414 --> 00:03:11.174 A little bit of the candy, the circus peanuts, too. 00:03:11.254 --> 00:03:15.834 Okay. First thing I was smelling was like a crackery malt, like a biscuit or something like that. 00:03:15.934 --> 00:03:16.314 Oh, yeah. 00:03:16.354 --> 00:03:19.534 And then kind of some hops, you know, like a noble hop or something like that, 00:03:19.574 --> 00:03:21.934 a little spicy. Yeah. A little floral. Yeah. 00:03:31.567 --> 00:03:33.127 It's got a lot of good flavor on it. 00:03:33.467 --> 00:03:33.947 Mm-hmm. 00:03:35.487 --> 00:03:40.887 Um, very flavorful, pretty mild, not going to blow you over with flavor. 00:03:41.267 --> 00:03:45.547 Did we, we used to call this a cream ale, right? 00:03:46.187 --> 00:03:46.707 Mm-hmm. 00:03:46.747 --> 00:03:47.087 Yeah. 00:03:47.167 --> 00:03:50.347 And now you're saying it's labeled as a farmhouse. So maybe it always was labeled 00:03:50.347 --> 00:03:51.507 as a farmhouse. I don't know. 00:03:52.287 --> 00:03:57.847 But, um, you know, like there is, I think there was a little bit of that sweetness 00:03:57.847 --> 00:04:00.687 from the malt that I don't know if there's corn in the grain bill or not. 00:04:00.687 --> 00:04:04.787 Cremel typically has some corn in the grain bill, but the flavor still goes 00:04:04.787 --> 00:04:07.447 that way, especially if you're expecting it. 00:04:07.487 --> 00:04:11.767 You need a little bit of that kind of sweet, malty. 00:04:13.007 --> 00:04:15.967 I think it makes sense. You know, Wisconsin's going to be out there where there's 00:04:15.967 --> 00:04:20.347 going to be lots of farms in that area of the country and lots of corn. 00:04:21.087 --> 00:04:22.727 Very smooth, subtle. 00:04:24.867 --> 00:04:26.447 Tastes like an alagash. 00:04:28.067 --> 00:04:33.487 Yeah it has it is a lot of character from its from its yeast um which is you 00:04:33.487 --> 00:04:38.167 know not what you expect for like a flagship beer in general like the the beer 00:04:38.167 --> 00:04:43.467 that is the the thing that's like oh everybody wants to try it because you can't 00:04:43.467 --> 00:04:45.007 get it and it's just this subtle little 00:04:45.087 --> 00:04:52.087 beer it's not like the most amazing thing ever i like it, 00:04:55.567 --> 00:05:01.887 it's everywhere there like it is everywhere and in the at the airport on the 00:05:01.887 --> 00:05:07.347 way out they had like you could buy 24 packs of the cans there or six or six 00:05:07.347 --> 00:05:10.987 or yeah 12 packs of the cans that's awesome Um, 00:05:11.167 --> 00:05:19.627 so my theory is that the reason why I thought it was better in the bottles and 00:05:19.627 --> 00:05:24.787 the cans is because every time I had it there, I did not pour it into a glass. 00:05:26.227 --> 00:05:32.167 Okay. So I was drinking it directly from the vessel and I think this tastes great out of the bottle. 00:05:32.847 --> 00:05:34.847 Huh. Interesting. 00:05:35.607 --> 00:05:38.827 And I don't think this tastes very good. Like it doesn't, it, 00:05:38.827 --> 00:05:40.807 it, it loses a lot out of the can. 00:05:41.587 --> 00:05:44.047 Oh, I thought you were going to say it loses a lot in the glass. 00:05:44.207 --> 00:05:45.687 I thought you were saying, oh, okay. 00:05:45.747 --> 00:05:46.587 No, it's great in the glass. 00:05:46.767 --> 00:05:47.087 Okay. 00:05:47.267 --> 00:05:51.567 But, um, I think this is like, this just works really well in the bottle. 00:05:51.587 --> 00:05:54.047 That's why I have those bottles and you could try it if you'd like. 00:05:56.147 --> 00:05:57.107 Maybe we can wait till later. 00:05:57.247 --> 00:05:57.547 Yeah. 00:05:57.887 --> 00:05:59.627 I mean, I don't know. It would be more of. 00:06:02.353 --> 00:06:06.313 Yeah, I mean, ultimately, it would be cool to have a can, a bottle, you know. 00:06:06.333 --> 00:06:07.113 To be able to try it all. 00:06:07.193 --> 00:06:10.113 Yeah. Let's go back to Wisconsin to get that. 00:06:10.133 --> 00:06:12.093 You can wash out one of those cans, put some in there. 00:06:12.533 --> 00:06:13.353 There you go. 00:06:13.493 --> 00:06:13.653 Yeah. 00:06:13.993 --> 00:06:16.673 That would be a perfect experiment. No flaws there. 00:06:16.813 --> 00:06:17.013 No. 00:06:18.593 --> 00:06:26.233 All right. So that was a new Golaris, because Greg was out in Minneapolis, right? 00:06:26.433 --> 00:06:26.773 Wisconsin. 00:06:26.893 --> 00:06:27.093 Wisconsin. 00:06:27.173 --> 00:06:29.633 I was in Milwaukee. 00:06:30.013 --> 00:06:38.793 Milwaukee. That's it. you had your big corporate um trade show thing out there nice and next. 00:06:38.793 --> 00:06:40.253 Year san francisco. 00:06:41.813 --> 00:06:43.993 Nice maybe we'll see. 00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:46.513 There's nice parts of san francisco. 00:06:46.513 --> 00:06:52.953 Oh yeah i went i don't know what five years ago i guess but there's a lot of 00:06:52.953 --> 00:06:55.433 like gross marks too yeah. 00:06:55.433 --> 00:06:58.413 So i want to check out those redwoods again. 00:06:58.413 --> 00:07:01.113 Oh yeah i've never been out there oh. 00:07:01.113 --> 00:07:07.833 They're below your mind they're just taller than skyscrapers like what so. 00:07:07.833 --> 00:07:12.533 Greg missed the eclipse because he was out in wisconsin yeah on that day but 00:07:12.533 --> 00:07:18.353 shannon didn't no i didn't got to we uh the weather you know was pretty dodgy 00:07:18.353 --> 00:07:24.073 all over the place so what we did was i couldn't sleep i was a kid waiting for 00:07:24.073 --> 00:07:26.613 christmas morning kind of thing, right? So no sleeping for me. 00:07:26.913 --> 00:07:34.293 I think I got up at 1.30 in the morning, hit the road by like 2.15, probably before that. 00:07:34.753 --> 00:07:37.273 And when we left, 00:07:39.363 --> 00:07:43.083 When we left, it seemed like our best odds were like having to go all the way 00:07:43.083 --> 00:07:45.083 out to almost Indiana, like Western Ohio. 00:07:45.803 --> 00:07:51.783 So we drove and got to my first proposed location by 6 a.m. 00:07:54.303 --> 00:07:59.643 And still kind of cloudy. The weather report, as I was driving those four hours 00:07:59.643 --> 00:08:02.663 across Ohio, better skies opened up closer to home. 00:08:02.763 --> 00:08:05.843 I drove past, you know, areas where there were better skies. So that was annoying. 00:08:06.143 --> 00:08:08.403 But we found a place called Van Wert. 00:08:09.363 --> 00:08:14.483 Small little town, tons and tons of people from Michigan and Grand Rapids like went to there. 00:08:14.643 --> 00:08:18.503 Like it was like little Michigan, but it worked out well. 00:08:18.523 --> 00:08:22.703 There was a high haze in the sky, but got to see the eclipse. 00:08:23.063 --> 00:08:23.623 That is beautiful. 00:08:24.603 --> 00:08:31.063 Shannon. Yeah, she, she gets it now. And what was really cool, 00:08:31.203 --> 00:08:36.163 which I didn't expect was last time we saw the eclipse, it was during a solar minimum. 00:08:36.823 --> 00:08:40.463 This time it's during the solar maximum, and you can see the prominences with 00:08:40.463 --> 00:08:42.423 your naked eye. You've seen the photos, right? 00:08:42.463 --> 00:08:42.823 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:08:42.823 --> 00:08:48.563 It was like, what? I wasn't expecting that at all. So that was so cool. 00:08:49.543 --> 00:08:55.903 All right. This beer is one we picked up on our way to Atlanta. 00:08:56.143 --> 00:08:59.563 We spent the night in Knoxville, Tennessee, and there's this brewery called 00:08:59.563 --> 00:09:08.023 Zul, X-U-L Beer Company. Um, and one of the best breweries I've been to in a long time. 00:09:08.203 --> 00:09:14.363 So hopefully the beer has held up since the end of February and we can try this 00:09:14.363 --> 00:09:16.503 one. This one is called Rhymes with Dimes. 00:09:17.283 --> 00:09:18.443 Rhymes like dimes. 00:09:18.483 --> 00:09:19.743 Rhymes like dimes. 00:09:20.043 --> 00:09:20.963 From Zool. 00:09:23.603 --> 00:09:26.083 There are no dimes. There is only Zool. Zool. 00:09:28.241 --> 00:09:36.561 Uh, Citra, Galaxy, Nelson.

It's a little more... 00:17:09.005 --> 00:17:13.685 dank i guess yeah but it's still some tropics in there but then i got this weird 00:17:13.685 --> 00:17:18.765 like unexpected floral thing pinching through there's. 00:17:18.765 --> 00:17:20.125 An orange blossom thing in there. 00:17:20.125 --> 00:17:26.045 Okay yeah orange blossom and there's something that's almost like um like a 00:17:26.045 --> 00:17:32.265 like uh some kind of candy aroma like a peach jolly rancher or sweet tart or 00:17:32.265 --> 00:17:33.805 something Something like that, like aroma-wise. 00:17:34.265 --> 00:17:36.665 I'm picking up a leathery. 00:17:37.865 --> 00:17:41.765 Can I smell your glass?

It's kind of leathery, yeah. 00:17:50.425 --> 00:17:53.285 Mixed with the fruity citrus. 00:17:53.645 --> 00:17:56.985 Yeah, I'm not saying that there's not leather. I'm just saying you don't have 00:17:56.985 --> 00:17:58.425 something in your glass that's not in mine. 00:17:58.545 --> 00:17:59.305 It's fruit leather. 00:18:00.245 --> 00:18:06.985 Oh. are you serious are you joking now i smell strawberries see. 00:18:06.985 --> 00:18:10.305 When you say fruit leather i do smell fruit roll-up like that concentrated like. 00:18:10.305 --> 00:18:15.865 Yeah i was kind of joking but kind of now joking in the sense that it's fruity 00:18:15.865 --> 00:18:19.025 and therefore that's why it's leather but yeah. 00:18:19.025 --> 00:18:23.925 I don't get any of that like dusty library kind of leather smell that. 00:18:23.925 --> 00:18:30.185 We a vocabulary the way we define it often is that kind of dusty leathery barn 00:18:30.185 --> 00:18:32.685 library den thing i'm not getting that. 00:18:32.685 --> 00:18:39.525 No it's almost just like a and now i'm just smelling strawberry i don't know 00:18:39.525 --> 00:18:46.465 why that's the only thing that stands out but before it was kind of a musty 00:18:46.465 --> 00:18:51.925 aroma mixed with With the citrusy? Yeah. 00:18:52.425 --> 00:18:54.885 Yeah. It doesn't taste too dank. 00:18:55.285 --> 00:18:58.505 The flavor brings big fruits. For me, it's peach and strawberry, 00:18:58.665 --> 00:19:00.145 I think, is what I'm getting. 00:19:01.205 --> 00:19:06.545 Yeah. With a little resin-y. That's where some of the dankness comes from. It's not as, like. 00:19:06.545 --> 00:19:08.125 Bright as the last one, right? 00:19:08.265 --> 00:19:12.805 The other one was really bright and shiny. 00:19:13.445 --> 00:19:17.165 Take a small but quick sip and drag it across your tongue. 00:19:17.245 --> 00:19:22.165 Kind of suck it across your tongue. and you get like this like super candy flavor, 00:19:22.305 --> 00:19:25.225 almost like cotton candy, like peach flower cotton candy or something like that. 00:19:25.665 --> 00:19:26.985 Nope. No? Nope. 00:19:27.005 --> 00:19:30.805 You brought in air. I meant just kind of like without air, just kind of roll 00:19:30.805 --> 00:19:31.705 it past your tongue quickly. 00:19:34.745 --> 00:19:39.405 You don't get it? Mm-mm. I do, but it's more like, 00:19:41.505 --> 00:19:46.465 maybe it's just because I've been eating saltwater taffy. But to me it's... 00:19:46.465 --> 00:19:50.465 Pallet drift. It's okay. It doesn't mean you're wrong. It just means those are 00:19:50.465 --> 00:19:54.425 the connections you're likely to draw or things you've drank and ate recently. 00:19:56.724 --> 00:20:01.584 So this one probably isn't as overall luscious as the last one, 00:20:01.644 --> 00:20:05.124 but it has facets that are amazing. 00:20:05.424 --> 00:20:08.784 Don't get me wrong. This is really tasty. And if you had those at a bar, 00:20:08.864 --> 00:20:10.124 you would not be disappointed. 00:20:10.244 --> 00:20:14.804 I mean, it's like if I had to pick one or the other, one's like just a pleasant experience. 00:20:15.024 --> 00:20:21.084 And this one has, oh, there's like four things in there that are just drawing my attention. 00:20:21.864 --> 00:20:26.424 It's like which experience is better depends on what you're looking for. 00:20:26.724 --> 00:20:30.164 I feel like this one's a little bit more bitter. I feel like this one is a little 00:20:30.164 --> 00:20:36.704 bit more, um, the fruit is less tropical and it's more or less. 00:20:38.024 --> 00:20:41.884 Ideally tropical is more traditionally travel like oranges and things like that. Right. 00:20:42.264 --> 00:20:47.344 So, uh, there's a bit more of an earthiness to it. 00:20:48.964 --> 00:20:55.624 Yeah, I agree. The, the resiny dankness that's in there, which is a total undertone 00:20:55.624 --> 00:20:58.984 to the whole thing, but it does change the tune of the beer. 00:21:00.484 --> 00:21:07.824 So I'm thinking if I'm sitting watching a sunset, eight bit, 00:21:07.904 --> 00:21:11.004 of course, like, you know, so the sun is a block. 00:21:11.084 --> 00:21:13.144 Like the intermission in Top Gun, right? 00:21:15.364 --> 00:21:18.644 The Top Gun video game, there was an intermission when you see the sunset. 00:21:20.664 --> 00:21:21.544 Everything's blocky. 00:21:21.584 --> 00:21:22.364 That's PJ, he knows. 00:21:22.444 --> 00:21:22.624 I know. 00:21:23.244 --> 00:21:29.844 And, um, But, you know, this is a nice beer to sit there and watch the sunset with. I get it. 00:21:30.904 --> 00:21:35.504 The more I drink it, I think I would, I mean, I'm not, I am going to spoil my rankings. 00:21:35.544 --> 00:21:38.164 I think this one, as I'm getting to the bottom of my sample, 00:21:38.264 --> 00:21:40.264 has surpassed the last one. 00:21:40.904 --> 00:21:47.644 It's really good. I just really taste the strawberry and I love that strawberry flavor. 00:21:50.181 --> 00:21:52.001 flavor that's just really popping out. 00:21:52.001 --> 00:22:00.161 That's so odd because to me there's like no strawberry really yeah um it is 00:22:00.161 --> 00:22:03.721 a lot of orange to me um almost. 00:22:03.721 --> 00:22:05.841 Like sunny delight or something right like a little. 00:22:05.841 --> 00:22:07.481 Kind of yeah like. 00:22:07.481 --> 00:22:11.221 A little bit i mean i think the peach is better like then you know there's not 00:22:11.221 --> 00:22:12.461 like a nectarine or anything. 00:22:12.461 --> 00:22:18.281 There's a peach at the end i think we're this like i'm not, 00:22:18.741 --> 00:22:23.601 not tasting strawberry but it's not at all a dominant flavor in my mind it's 00:22:23.601 --> 00:22:29.141 like i can i can totally get where you're coming from and your tongue is your 00:22:29.141 --> 00:22:34.421 own so you're not wrong about what you're tasting but yeah to me orange and 00:22:34.421 --> 00:22:36.261 i think peach at the end is a good call. 00:22:36.861 --> 00:22:39.561 Don't forget there's actually passion fruit in this beer. 00:22:39.561 --> 00:22:44.181 Yeah and that i can't like i don't have enough experience with passion fruit 00:22:44.181 --> 00:22:48.681 to be able to pick that out and say that's passion fruit and it's not as at 00:22:48.681 --> 00:22:57.521 least to me it's not as um obvious to say guava when i taste like yeah that's guava yeah. 00:22:57.521 --> 00:23:02.241 I get you now that i remind that i kind of especially towards the bottom bottom 00:23:02.241 --> 00:23:05.141 seems a little bit thicker like a little bit of the purees still in there or 00:23:05.141 --> 00:23:09.221 something i bet you if i poured the dregs of the can out i'd get like a bunch 00:23:09.221 --> 00:23:10.821 of passion fruity bits you know. 00:23:10.821 --> 00:23:12.041 Do it do it. 00:23:13.541 --> 00:23:17.581 A lot cloudier super milky hazy, 00:23:22.625 --> 00:23:25.345 Oh, that's bitter.

It's, it's, it's, it's best without that. 00:23:51.585 --> 00:23:54.905 There's not a lot of flavor there. There's just scratchiness. 00:23:54.985 --> 00:23:58.665 I can see how mixed in with the rest of the beer it would work. 00:23:58.745 --> 00:24:02.145 But at the end, it's just kind of, oh, we're scratching your tongue. 00:24:02.505 --> 00:24:05.285 But it's not like Bittrex bitter, right? It's not like... 00:24:07.445 --> 00:24:11.645 For those who don't know, Bittrex is the most bitter chemical there is. 00:24:12.025 --> 00:24:16.845 It's chemically designed to be only bitter, basically. 00:24:16.865 --> 00:24:21.025 And they put it in cleaning stuff. 00:24:22.745 --> 00:24:26.325 I wish we had more of both of those last two. 00:24:26.505 --> 00:24:28.105 Well, we'll just have to get back to Knoxville. 00:24:28.545 --> 00:24:30.065 Well, February. 00:24:30.605 --> 00:24:36.405 Yep.

Yeah, they're kind of gimmicky. 00:26:14.809 --> 00:26:17.349 The Zool one was downright good. 00:26:17.729 --> 00:26:19.929 Oh, phenomenal. 00:26:21.189 --> 00:26:24.449 Blueberry cobbler, gluten-free, sour with blueberry, vanilla, 00:26:24.609 --> 00:26:28.709 cinnamon, and brown sugar. this beer does not contain lactose. 00:26:28.709 --> 00:26:33.449 What does it call again i'm sorry i didn't write it down betty's. 00:26:33.449 --> 00:26:42.649 Blueberry cobbler 6.4 it is well i mean it looks like a blueberry drink yeah 00:26:42.649 --> 00:26:49.829 uh it's got that purple color like purple like did you put food coloring in 00:26:49.829 --> 00:26:52.429 this purple lacing yeah um. 00:26:52.429 --> 00:26:53.849 I I think it looks like syrup. 00:26:54.569 --> 00:26:57.469 Yeah, it looks like blueberry maple syrup or something like that. 00:26:57.489 --> 00:27:02.349 Yeah, the blueberry that, like, a lesser brewery might put food coloring in 00:27:02.349 --> 00:27:04.889 here, but here you figure it, no, this is just how it came out. 00:27:05.069 --> 00:27:08.729 And then you jump onto the aroma, and it's not blueberries. It's like cinnamon 00:27:08.729 --> 00:27:11.749 and other, like, pie spices and things like that. 00:27:11.749 --> 00:27:13.849 Oh, there's blueberry, but there are pie, there are spices. 00:27:13.969 --> 00:27:14.989 But it leads with the spices. 00:27:16.129 --> 00:27:19.889 No, actually, weirdly, the first thing was blueberry. Then the second step was 00:27:19.889 --> 00:27:26.469 all the spices. So, I mean, you know, it's however your nose and brain decides to, uh. 00:27:28.203 --> 00:27:32.943 So it smells like, yeah, it smells like, um, yeah, now I'm getting the mix. 00:27:33.003 --> 00:27:38.923 It smells like pastry and cinnamon and sugar and the, the kind of the blueberry 00:27:38.923 --> 00:27:42.763 pie filling kind of aroma, that little jammy-ness is coming through on the side. 00:27:43.683 --> 00:27:49.363 So what is going to impress me most here is if they get like the viscosity right. 00:27:50.083 --> 00:27:52.343 Cause I think that's going to play a big role. If it's too thin, 00:27:52.383 --> 00:27:53.823 it's bad. If it's too thick, it's bad. 00:27:54.343 --> 00:27:58.583 Um, It smells like it's got all the flavors spot on. 00:28:08.463 --> 00:28:10.323 I should have gotten a picture of that. 00:28:10.503 --> 00:28:13.263 What is that? Was that a confirmation or a. 00:28:15.963 --> 00:28:18.723 He's sitting there with his eyes closed with his finger in the air. 00:28:19.183 --> 00:28:20.983
