Draft at the Ale House. Burnt-orange brown pour. Angela and tastes of a buttered pretzel and / or buttered popcorn. Just butter heavy in general. Light-medium bodied, lively carbonation. Finishes buttery. I'd call this more of a butter than a pretzel beer. Somehow better than it sounds, but still not good.

Bottle. Salt, toasted bread. and banana aroma. Dark amber with giant head. Sweet caramel malt, toast, light salt, and banana flavor. Nice body. Interesting - delivers on the pretzel aroma and flavor.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy deep ruddy copper with a slight beige head. I smells like a pretzel! Maybe a soggy one. Also a bit like theater popcorn. Near med body. The flavor doesn’t really live up to the aroma. It’s a rather soggy, overcooked pretzel taste. Doesn’t appeal.

Bottle from Walhole. Sounded interesting. Pours medium brown with no head. Actually smells like pretzels - like when you walk past one of the pretzel places in the mall. Well sheeeit, it actually tastes like a pretzel too. Unfortunately, it needs something else. Liquid pretzel would be good if you made it with the right recipe.

A lightly hazed dark amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, loads of buttery popcorn, light berries, weird. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light buttery notes, boring but not offensive. On tap at Local Tavern, Terminal F, PHL.

I liked this one much more than I expected. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with orange highlights and a large foamy beige head that left decent lacing. The aroma was bread, pretzel and salt. The flavor was malty, dryish and somewhat bitter with bread crust and pretzel notes. Medium length finish. Pretzel notes increase as it warms. Medium body. Decent.

Single bottle from Albertson in Vegas. Pours a very slight hazed amber colour with a yellowish cap, average retention and not much lacing. Wow... it does smell like pretzels ! The taste is not as close, but pretty interesting nonetheless. Still wheat but with some hops in the finish. Not syrupy like most Shock Top. Quite a nice exploit.

12 oz bottle poured. I bought this beer because I thought it sounded like a horrible idea for a beer and wanted to be proven wrong. I love pretzels, but on the side. Pours a dark muddy brown color with a thin foam head. Heavy grainy malt aroma and flavor, and comes off as a bit salty. Pretzel cracker finish that is less than refreshing to me. Offputting flavor throughout. Rough one for me.
