NotABeerProfessor Profile

Yellowish, chill haze. Nose is esters some banana and something herbal. Flavor is a lot of banana and something else I can’t quite place. Maybe a hint of phenol, coriander? I think maybe it’s spiced but I don’t have any info on that. Draft at GB bottleshop Orlando.

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

A lot of citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, melange of orange zest pineapple and papaya. Flavor pretty similar heavy on fruit with a mild resin element. Low bitterness bordering on thin palate odd for 7% but I can def taste an alcohol fume after swallowing, perhaps retro nasal. It’s alright a bit muddy looking in the glass. Draft at GB Bottleshop Orlando.

Can in a small becher glass. Really pale to straw color, modest head fades fast. Light metallic note. Lightly grainy aroma and flavor, very light, low but detectable bitterness. Supposed to be all malt? I guess I can buy it but it seems unusually light, the kind that you get from including a more fully fermentable adjunct. 12 pack from Publix in Oviedo Fl

Drinkable I guess. I didn’t dump it at least. Pinkish color fizzy but no head. Lots of indistinct fruit, berry I guess. Harsh booziness and super sweet little bit sour.

Others are noting cherry, lemon and grape but i got pineapple in this one. Basically though, the best comparison I can make is this: if you took a bunch of sour patch kids (esp if some pineapple flavored ones exist) and dissolved them in some high proof spirits like Everclear, and reduced that down to a sour, sugary syrupy high alcohol soup, and then diluted it with fizzy water, this is what you'll get it. It was almost drinkable if you can tolerate the super sweet combined with the booziness. I drank less than half of the tallboy before I said "there's no way I'm finishing this". Totally clear fizzy appearance.

Strawberry IPA from 1300 Mile Brewing

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 7

Not the sort of thing I'd usually buy but as always I'm a sucker for something new, but also its a local beer made with locally grown strawberries so let's give it a shot. Pours interesting with a bright fresh strawberry aroma that turns quickly into something vaguely artificial not unlike strawberry lip gloss, but that's OK, it reminds me of kissing Michelle in 7th grade, 1982. Pale gold color, the base beer feels closer to an ordinary pale ale, also OK, malts are bready, hops are vague, somewhat masked by the strawberry, but lean pine resin and citrus. Generally balanced and lean, with the strawberry flavors sort of just being there, being weird, not exactly a mesh with the base beer. Good try I guess?

Almost good, a crisp and nice beer, almost an all malt profile (probably not), and very easy to drink other than a funky metallic aftertaste. This really puts a damper on an otherwise pretty nice cheap lager. Can from a random gas station, Longwood FL
