Almost-Poetry


Samuel Adams advertisement

"When you open a Samuel Adams lager and begin to pour it out,
you get this beautiful amber color.
And you put your nose in it,
and you get the smell of flowers called hops."

"We use noble hops,
They're expensive,
but it's a better quality ingredient for Boston lager."

"Most brewers have a dash of hops."

"We use a pound of hops per barrel."

"We add some caramel malt to that,
significant full-flavor,
but everything is there in balance."

"The proof is in the taste."

Who do you love? [sung by George Thorogood & the Destroyers.]
don't look now but . . .

words in cyberspace
This almost-poem is mostly informative, we don't think of this kind of stuff as art, it wasn't really meant to be art, and it has little artistic significance. The ad does tell of a beer that might be more almost-artistically rendered, it would seem, than other more-ordinary beers. The proof here is in the reading. [AAR-5, AAR-6, AAR-7, AAR-8]
