Hmm, to much jelly and not enough peanut butter. This beer’s too sweet, can barely pick up on the Brown ale qualities.

So if you buy a peanut butter and jelly beer, I guess you can’t be shocked when your pint tastes exactly like a damned peanut butter and jelly sandwich, right? Brings up the old question: how do you rate a beer that fits its description well but you still don’t really like? Hard to feel fair in such a scenario: yes, Catawba Peanut Butter Jelly Time fits the name, offering up a solid dose of peanuts in the nose, maybe a little fruit mixed in as well. And the taste is right in line with the title: peanut butter and raspberry, semisweet and surprisingly restrained. If peanut butter and jelly beer is your thing, then Catawba’s got your cherry ’57 Chevy. But If you’re like me--curious and now a bit regretful--eh. Tastes like peanuts. Tastes like jelly. Doesn’t taste much like beer. 3 seems about right.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sticky toffee pudding with some brown sugar sweet malt. Flavor is toffee and a nice bitterness. This was not barrel aged but I get some oak and vanilla. This was a flavorful English winter ale with a little something different with each sip.

Poured up on tap, at the Carolina Beer Co at the Charlotte airport, where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up malts, mineral notes, tangy bitter smelling hops and then a fading empty despair sensation. The taste delivers a bitter hoppiness, some near tart hop astringency and then a bite of mineral nuanced malts. This tastes like a mediocre 1990’s IPA but firmly sub par today. It leaves a bitter astringency behind that lingers into the after taste. Plus, airport pricing makes this an exceedingly low value.
