I did not know what I really wanted when I stopped by this
store so, when I saw the name Indecision Ale I knew we were meant for each
other. I was also trying to make a decision to head up north for the week-end
or not.
This beer started out as an Amber Ale and morphed into a Red
and then into ??? - copper ale. Well, that is their story in a nut shell.
Appearance: a dirty muddled amber body with 5 inches of
light tan foam; I barely poured one or two inches of liquid on an easy pour and
the foam just exploded; probably a beer that has gone bad; the one I had last
night was okay;
Aroma: once the ale sat long enough for the foam to settle,
I was able to get a sniff; just like last night – nothing much nor special;
little hops and a little nondescript malt on the nose
Flavors and Mouthfeel: wow that carbonation is a killer;
this beer had been sitting too long in the store; nothing like the one last
night; cutting through to the flavor there is a little nondescript malty note
again and a little hoppy spice – amber ale like; from what I recall from the
ale last night it is pretty much the same on the flavor front; as for the
mouthfeel – this one is just plain old bad – another bad craft beer or should I
say a craft beer that has gone bad because retailers are not storing these
beers properly.
To the Point: the Indecision Ale that I had last night, I
thought was just okay, nothing special; of course the one today is bad and I’ll
water the rain soaked ground with this one. I have wasted so much money on bad beers this
year it is crazy. I did return a couple of six packs but, I should have
returned up to two or three cases worth of bad beers or beers that have gone
bad.
I am going to make a few changes in my purchasing habits: 1) No date on the bottle forget it; don't buy it. 2) visit breweries to try these beers or visit a quality bar that carries a lot of craft beers.
While the Detroit Lions game has started here is my call anyways: Lions 17 Steelers 27
6 and 3 Lions my ass - we will see they are really a 4 and 5 team with the record of 6 and 3. The problem?
All coaching.
