Confectioner - Pistachio Gelato

So I like the pistachio--adds an curious woody/nutty sweetness to the beer, possibly an interesting element to add to an IPA that actually tastes like an IPA, unlike the pint we have here. Mild citrus notes come from the hops, but absolutely no bitterness is present, and the back end comes across like watered-down ice cream rather than beer. Not cloy, but the lactose and vanilla prove too much for such a weak hop profile, leaving a beer memorable solely for its gimmick. Drinkable, but one can is plenty.

Pounder: Butterscotch, caramel, pistachio aroma. Clear amber, thick head, good lace. Caramel, marshmallow, bread crust. Medium body, easy carbonation. Weird but marginally enjoyable
