2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle from Rick’s in Alexandria. Pours a clear golden color. Nose is fairly strong on the ginger and spice with some backing pineapple. The flavor is quite spicy with heavy pineapple character to the background. Spice and booze fill the mouthfeel. Not a big fan.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Poured lightly hazy from a bomber bottle, amber color, with a small but durable off-white head. Vinegar (or similar) in the very sour aroma: smells like a good marinade ... or a bad beer. Well, the taste is similar, but perhaps a bit worse. There is some pineapple in the very tart taste. Medium bitterness.
O: brewer’s description sounds wonderful; the beer is not. Hard to drink despite some attractive aspects.

Not my fave style but thought it was done well enough to be part of the series. One would think with the center of the song to be HUGE then the brew should be HUGE. Not.

Bottle randomly discovered at DLM. Can you have a pineapple spiked Belgian Ale? That’s what this seemed like. Very fruity with a little clove spice and hint of banana too. ABV well hidden. Fine overall.
