When I showed him your surely well-intentioned recommendation, a gleam glowed in his eyes, but in the next moment he shuddered and muttered as he turned back to proofreading his 1669 pages short opus magnum, Pre Assyrian Philately in a Nutshell: "Please, tell your noble Scottish friend the professor does prefer crates being split in twenty, of which each half litre contains but of water, barley malt, hops, yeast. No bells and whistles. No bric-à-brac." Herewith done, dear Andrew, and many thanks, also in the name of Tetrapilotomos. Perhaps one day, you and I shall meet for a glass of Omnium, or two. Today, though, I shall raise a glass on Lady J's birthday. Or two. ;-)
So far as I can see the Omnium IPA is made using only the ingredients favoured by Prof. T., albeit a variety of hops and a variety of malted barleys (unless I am much mistaken, and, to be fair, I am regularly much mistaken).
Good heavens Andrew, how could you be so ignoble as to neglect to send your birthday felicitations to Lady J.? You do shock me with your rough fellowishness sometimes. I shall nobly send the warm felicitations on your behalf, with your apologies also.
Dear Andrew, I dared to bother Prof. T. one more time with Omnium, as Mr Lindsay's advertising fuzzies at 8°n like to call the concoction, whereupon he referred to the Purity Law of 1516, and finally said: Before Mr Lindsay does any more damage with bold citrus and tropical fruits, he should seek advice from one of the approximately 12,000 members of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA).
Dear Sean - I believe the Prof is mistaken (good heavens!). It is bold citrus and tropical "Notes", notes being the term used for the characteristics varieties of hops.
Makes a demanding piece of music look easy.
ReplyDeleteI like his personality and lots of his music very much.
DeleteApropos of a beer for the Professor:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sixdnorth.co.uk/pickmix/omnium - A crate can be split into twelve, or a six-pack into six.

Very attentive, Don QuiScottie! Lady J. was delighted.
DeleteShe asked, though, what about the noble Don's personal felicitations.

Deleteor the characteristics OF varieties of hops
DeleteProf can learn about fruit notes delivered by citrus hops here: https://beermaverick.com/hops/tag/citrus/
DeleteAh, Andrew, the Prof claims to be not mistaken. It's just his taste bulbs dislike fruit notes delivered by citrus hops.
