So hard to capture a good photo of a cardinal in the wild
One of my favorite sounds of spring is the song of a Cardinal. Hearing it this morning reminded me that it was time to go out and search for one! Off I went as I grabbed my camera. Knowing patience isn’t one of my strengths, I was hoping to get a good shot before thirst would overcome me. It seemed today was my lucky day! I was as quiet as a mouse and got into position. A few quick pictures before this one took off!
Everyone needs a hobby, why not bird watching
Cardinal Pale Ale from Nebraska Brewing Company has long been a favorite! The nose on this one is citrus and floral. This pale ale has a nice malty backbone that pulls you in with each sip. There are nice, mild citrus notes that come through in the front and middle. The finish is nicely bitter which I absolutely love in a Pale Ale or IPA.
The hops used in the Cardinal Pale Ale are a nice combination of Cascade and Galena hops. The IBUs are 42 and this beer comes in at 6% ABV.
This beer pairs well with a lot of different food, but I love it with some good smoked pork! Matter of fact, I am planning on taking the Traeger out tomorrow and smoking some nice pork chops!
Nebraska Brewing has a wide array of amazing craft beers from pale ales to stouts! They also produce some of the most creative barrel aged beers you can imagine. I highly recommend you get your hands on some today!
Cheers!
