Lookout! Beer week is still going strong and today as a mid-week treat you’re getting three reviews in one. That’s right, I drank 3 BEERS IN A ROW and lived to tell the tale. I should probably check with the Guinness Book people and see if that’s a new world record. How about that picture? Can you tell which one I’m most excited about?

These are going to be quick, so hang on, my pretties:
Smell: orange, bubblegum,
Taste: citrus and bubblegum, orange circus peanuts, bitter hops in finish

C+
Smell: caramel, roasted, earthy
Taste: fig, wood, caramel…full and rich
A-
Boom, boom, aaaaand….BOOM. They all fall down. Rapid-fire reviews for you on this lovely Wednesday. Beer week keeps on truckin’. Something you’d like to see or have me cover? Let me know in the comments!
This is pretty cool. But are you planning on reviewing any beers that aren’t fruit-based you girl?
Wow, somebody needs to go back to beer school. Only one of these was fruit-based. The others just had components that smelled or tasted like fruit. Also, SHUT UP.
[…] to do something for today’s review. Seems that when I posted yesterday’s Lightening Round some lady got all upset and commented (I’m paraphrasing) “Waaaahhhh! Why are you only […]
