3/5. Dark gold and just a little cloudy. Lightly floral scent and a touch of something spicy. Very smooth.

Nieuwhuys Hoegaards Bier Alpaïde
5/5. Lustrous dark brown brew with a dense, lasting head. Smells like bitter chocolate and soot. Tastes rooty, smoky and sweet.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
