Actually, the 7/8 rest of me revolts against this. Fine, a nice dark ale it is (full of hops, barely and other goodness.)

Wheat, rye, hops, yeast... All things you can find in the botanical world. Of course wild yeast might be a bit sketch... I also don't like carnations. I remember an ex asking me what flowers I liked, and I told him anything but carnations - he got me carnations because he didn't know what a carnation was. Bless.

Or maybe I made that up? Better run an experiment.
