Trainwreck of dank bitterness, sweet overdose, all making for something not too easy to drink.
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Draft pour in a flight of triples at Coopers Ale house, for their version of the 2018 Hop Mob event. A hazy golden orange pour with a glow, but not as bright as the Reubens. That one wins the glow award this time. Tons of foam head and lacing. In a blind, I don't think I would have immediately picked out blueberry. Pretty dank on the aroma. Too dank. Flavor is viciously sweet up front, and a harsh dank hop and vegetable flavor to follow. Maybe the blueberry creates, or adds to, the over the top sweetness. For the first time since I was first introduced to Matchless, I dislike a beer. I'm as surprised as I could ever be. Very rare miss from some of the best right here.
