On rain, taxes, and rebirth

Today was a day of firsts. It was the first day this year that the furnace hasn't kicked in. It was Des and my's first bbq of the year. It was the first day this year that the neighbors' spotlights have been adequately blocked out by blinds in our bedroom. It was the first day this year that the hot tub seemed just a little too hot. And it was the first day this year that a pilsner-esque kölsch (pictured below) seemed like the perfect pairing to an afternoon sitting in the yard. I'm not complaining. It must be an Easter thang.

Easter itself, however, was rained out. And tax day, for many, was painful. To alleviate the suffering, and to help out the pocketbook, here's my lawnmower beer recipe for the coming long days of summer. And if you're pressed for time since those days are already here, this one can be done in just a couple weeks if you've got a fridge to do a quick bit of lagering and force carbonation in. Citrusy herbal hoppy lightness magic in a glass!
