Hang on, stop the bus! Potato beer? Surely not. In all the worlds of madness I have visited I have never come across potato in a beer. I mean, doesn't that mean it's vodka? I have had vodka in beer, that was fun. Kind of, till the next day at least. I don't think I will ever get those stains out though.
Anyway, that's the past and in the past it shall remain!
So what trippy nonsense is this we are faced with? A beer that claims to have potato and spruce tips in it and another that is a milkshake IPA?
Time to get tasting!
That is quite the name. The can is rather jazzy too. Despite the last Beerbliotek beer I tried being a bit naff, I am quite looking forward to this.
Hmm, look at that. It's very pale. A pale gold? In Glasgow we would describe this as peely wally.
Let me pronounce that for you.
Perhaps I should take up a career teaching odd Scottish.
Anyway, the beer!!! It has no head and it looks weak and piss-like. But how does it taste?
Let me translate that. It tasted like lemon washing up liquid with tangerines and a hint of disinfectant.
This is not a good beer in my book. Boo hiss - 3/10 booms and those three only for the funky can and golden promise it once held.
Moving on!!
Heavens above, save me Mr Second beer, save me!
Now that's better, a proper gold, the kind of gold that crowns are made out of. Yellowy and hazy like a cloud made of baby chickens.
Let me get my gums around it.
Raar it's a fine hoppy, bitter but juicy beer. The mango and passion fruit come through with a zesty orange twang before the long hoppy finish kicks in. I like this very much! 8/10 booms!
Well that's a relief. Time to get my jiggy on!!
Cheers everyone!
