6.66% abv – creepy
1pt 6oz bottle
Shmaltz Brewing Co.
Saratoga Springs, New York, USA
Plenty of foam starts to well up and it looks – pink? Yes it’s pink. The beer looks reddish. Blood like – creepy! What did they color this with – beet juice?
The hops are at play here. There is a spicy citrus and floral profile here. The malts are at work to keep the balance. There is a strange sweetness that is a little freakish. The aftertaste is lasting. There are notes of pine, citrus, and a strong pink peppercorn finish that lasts on the palate for quite a while.
If you spend some time thinking about the flavors you may not like it. So, just drink it and don’t think about it – why? – it taste better that way.
I cannot decide, do I think it is okay or poor? I just don’t think I can pull out the poor card for there are so many bad examples out there. So, I’ll have to go with the okay label for this strange tasting beer.
I just sure hope that it is beet juice and not blood from a dead black cat that colors this freakish beer.
A must buy for Halloween if you are having a party or going to one. Then forget it.
