ODELL BREWING COMPANY- POND HOPPER DOUBLE EXTRA PALE ALE This is a limited release from Odell. Nice 9.5 ABV. Cork about took me out when i opened it. Had a nice pleasant fruit aroma upon opening; peaches, mango, and orange stand out. Pretty inviting. Taste follows the nose, but you get a little added pine in the taste that i didnt detect in the aroma. A really refrehing and interesting beer. I would definately reccomend rhis one, the only downside is i dont think there is a huge difference from their standard IPA (which is great). At 13.99 for a 25 oz. bottle its hard to justify over the regular IPA, but i would definately try it at least once. Without a doubt, i think Odell is my favorie Colorado brewery, all their products seem solid.
GRETCHEN WILSON - UNDER THE COVERS This is another project where the artist performs some of their favorite songs. I generally enjoy these type of releases, you get to see what influenced them and what they enjoy.Interesting in that Gretchen is considered a country artist, but there is not one country song in this CD, she might be a rocker at heart. She did not try to "countryfy" these at all. They are all pretty true to the originals. The band is tight on all of them. I actually enjoy this whole album, some are hit or miss, but overall its just a fun listen, and i guess thats all that really matters.

20 mile bike ride on the Grand Rounds Parkway ( i counted 34 of the Blue Cross Blue Shield bikes today. Awesome, as i have to assume, right or wrong, that that was 34 people out biking that would not have been without this program)
