I was at The Thirsty Scholar Pub in Somerville, taking part in my first Trivia Night.  Before this, I had thought “Trivia Nights” were gatherings of Nerds and Geeks who were proud fountains of useless knowledge, then I thought, “Hey, that’s me!”  The Scholar has a nice beer selection on tap with only one I had not tried, Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale.  The bartender handed me a pint glass of copper colored liquidwith many bubbles.  It had a thin sudsy cornmeal colored head(To be fair it was kind of dark and I had a couple of whiskeys) and a floral aroma.  The first sip was a citrus experience.  Mostly grapefruit rind mixed with a floral hop taste.  Delicious and refreshing.  Great drinkability.   It had a smooth consistency and finished with little lingering bitterness.  Upon further research I found it is the Summit Hops that give this Pale Ale it’s distinctive citrus character.  The Widmer Brothers site says it’s good with seafood, but I quite enjoyed it with my whiskey and steamy trivia about Talk Show Hosts and Post Civil War Presidents.
