I'm drinking St. Peter's Ale. A beer I haven't tried before. It is graced within a light green glass flask. Its imprint embossed into the glass itself.
It is made from organically grown barley and hops. Its water from a deep water source with a history of doing so for 700 years. The St. Peter Brewery Company is located in Suffolk United Kingdom.
It tastes a bit like medicine. I think partially the reason this is relates to the illusion brought on by the shape of the glass itself. Many cough syrups come in this sort of bottle shape. Also there is a rich wholesomeness that one does not often find in alcoholized beverages. Once used to the initial medicinal quality, it is pleasant enough to partake of without desire to not take another swig.
I find the bottle unique enough to keep actually. And I am not one to collect things by any means. The bottle shape is in fact a faithful copy of one made in 1770 for a Mr. Thomas Gerrard of Gibbstown, Pennsylvania.
The symbol for St. Peter's Ale is a crow-like bird with a gold key in its core.

Oh, I could feel the bottle and taste the ale. Wonderful writing, Sky.
