The One and Only Spear Beer
Right Brain Brewery
Traverse City, Michigan
5.3% abv
$7.99 a bottle
1pt 6oz bottle
Brewed with Real Grilled Asparagus and Lemon Peel
What crazy person came up with this idea? What crazy person said, ‘yes let’s brew it?’ What crazy person would buy this?
I see that the beer is retired.
I bought this back in summer and I am finally brave enough
to try it. I love grilled asparagus – I hope
this goes well.
Appearance: bright golden body with maybe a one finger head;
don’t swirl the bottle to get any yeast sediment off the bottom
Aroma: fairly clean; light funk – I have no idea what that
smell is
Flavors: bright lemon biscuit upfront; that note that I
smelled that I have no idea what it is … well, it is in the taste, on the backl;
I am trying to think grilled asparagus with each sip and it is not helping me
to identify that smell or taste; I stay with funk;
Mouthfeel: light carbonation leaving a little fizzy feel on
the palate; sweet biscuit; light touch of lemon peel;
To the Point: not all that bad; almost good but that strange
taste on the back, it was okay at first but it just clings to the palate and I
got tired of it; good thing they retired it; but you could go to the Empire
Asparagus Festival in the spring and see if they brew it just for that
festival.
