a funny thing happened on my way back home

Well, besides my getting violently airsick on the AcK flight into Seattle. What happened is this: I had a bomber of Elysian Immortal (confidential to TGS: no, this WASN'T your present), that I decided to transfer to a gatorade bottle solely because it was less prone to breakage in my carry-on. Ahem.

Anyway, it just so happens that it was an orange flavor gatorade bottle, which, while it was a lovely color match, imparted a rather bizarre orange flavor. I can't say, however, that it was altogether unpleasant, and now, two days later, I'm drinking it out of the fridge and rather enjoying it, even though it's as flat as a pancake. It's quite a bit like Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale, actually. (Notably, the Immortal is a pretty lame IPA to begin with, so the orange flavor really didn't have a meaningful hop profile to compete with.)

Ahhhhh. Guess I should put the Elysian Pumpkin ale in the fridge for tonight's drinking (and no, TGS, that wasn't it, either. So neehh.)
