Coney Island Freaktoberfest

This is God-Awful!!! Cotton candy-like head with a raspberry colored body. Subtle aroma of malt...flavor is semi-sweet. Perhaps one could pull a bready-yeasty quality out of this but that is about it. AVOID!!!

Surprise! This beer pours raspberry red, with a pinkish head. Aroma has hints of pretzels, and yeast/dough. Taste is malty, with hints of fruit and spice. The finish is long, and slightly bitter. Not a fan of the red color, and once you get past the label on the bottle, the beer overall is pretty unremarkable.

(22oz bottle) Large salmon-colored head atop hazy pink-red body. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel/bread, light nut, toffee. Taste is medium sweet, nut, some caramel, earthy, light bread. Light-medium body, light acidity. I found the appearance off-putting, but clearly it was intentional, so to each his own.

Pours like a kriek’s deep cherry juice color with a pink head. Memorable and freakish! Smells really mild, unexpected especially considering the way it looks. Slightly bready with some walnut. Soft, slick mouthfeel. Thick but not chewy. Well-balanced and mild flavors but punchy finish. Drinkable, clean.

Almost nothing of note in the flavor other than a passing toastiness and light caramel sweetness that is washed away in the rather watery finish. Although there is a little bit of stickiness/creaminess in the middle, I just don’t find enough of malt, hop or yeast to produce a lasting, substantial beer. If you’re going to go low on malt sweetness in this style, at least add some decent hop crispness or nice yeast bite. Almost no aroma.

love the look, its a nice reddish color even though the color has nothing to do with the flavor. malty, with a sharp bitter hoppness. The rest works very well.

The aroma is hoppy and malty with some caramel but it’s really simple. The appearance is really fitting it’s RED. :-) The head is medium sized and foamy. The flavor is like the the aroma, simple but effective. The palate is smooth. Overall it is a creative beer from the packaging to the beer itself. Really good stuff.

Bomber from Whole Foods. Light purple in color. Looks like a lambic, wish it smelled like one. Aroma is sweet and malty. Malty flavor dominates. Some bready qualities to the malt. Smooth mouth with some hops in the finish.
