Handwritten notes: Good stuff, a malty-hoppy whirlpool of tastiness. The kind of beer that makes the world stop for just a millisecond and you can't remember why life is so hard. There's a fish on the can, whose throat I assume is to be cut. But I can't kill another living thing. I'd like to go fishing but I can't imagine clubbing the life out of a fish. Don't get me wrong, I'm as carnivore as they come but once when I was a kid my old man caught a giant-ass catfish and I have the memory of a dying summer dusk evening and the sound of my dad clubbing the fish's head with a 2 x 4. It wouldn't die. It stared up at me with fishy eyes saying "why?" and I walked away with guilty tears as the clubbing continued. I ate it with my eggs the next morning but those fishy eyes haunt me to this day. I don't swat flies, I shoo them gently towards the window and watch them fly away with a limp-wristed wave. Yet last summer I cooked and ate 4 pounds of brisket at one sitting. Such is being alive in the 21st Century. Good beer, though.

I agree with you about Cutthroat being a really good pale ale. The story also amused me.
Just for the sake of it and for anyone who doesn't know, the name refers to the cutthroat trout, which is so named because of the red coloration on the underside of the lower jaw.
